EMB 1200-1 - School balances

Application Description

For laboratory exercises in the production of thermosetting fiber-reinforced composites, resin and hardener are weighed precisely in the specified mixing ratio using a laboratory balance. This ensures a reproducible material composition and improves the quality and comparability of the manufactured sample parts.

Additional information

In the mechatronics and mechanical engineering programs, students produce sample parts from thermosetting fiber-reinforced composites based on epoxy resin. Resin and hardener are precisely measured in a 100:40 ratio for batches of approximately 200 to 300 grams. Accurate weight measurement using a laboratory balance is crucial for a reliable curing process and provides a sound basis for laboratory experiments, materials science, and practical training applications.
