1. Introduction
Thank ou for purchasing a Specac product.
The Atlas™ Autotouch 40Ton (40T) H draulic Presses are automatic
and programmable h draulic presses which have been designed for a
wide variet of pressing applications within the laborator or heav
industrial environments, to appl a load at a minimum of 4 tons up to a
maximum of 40 tons. These presses are specificall suited to the
preparation of solid sample discs, particularl for pellets at 40mm
diameter using Specac Atlas™ evacuable pellet die assemblies, from
the higher tonnage loads offered b the pressing s stem that ma be
needed to appl across larger surface areas of a sample for
compaction.
The Atlas™ Autotouch 40T presses enable the controlled application
and release of an applied load via push button or programmable timed
functionalit and can accommodate large samples up to 240mm wide,
220mm deep and 155mm tall. The operations to set a specific load to
appl or create a program for a load application sequence for its
duration of hold are carried out via a touch sensitive displa screen.
There are two ph sical buttons on the front panel to push for actual
operation of the press – a start button to appl a load and a stop button
to release the load.
The press works b automatic motorised pumping of a h draulic fluid
(oil) to raise a piston and compress a sample held in the pressing area.
The press consists of a motor, pump and oil reservoir assembl from
where the oil is transferred across to the base of the pressing area and
forced under the piston assembl . As the oil pressure builds up in the
press s stem the load being applied to the sample will be registered on
the electronic displa . The application of a load will continue until the
required load is reached and then held until released b the operator.
Alternativel , the load can be applied in a series of load stages via a
specific program and automaticall released from a programmed time
hold function and controlled release rate. The power unit is extremel
quiet and operates below 62 dB(A) making the presses ideal for use in
all environments.
