40 Ton Auto Press

40 Ton Auto Press
Item# Part No. 25601

Product Description

The 40 Ton Auto Press is a development in reply to requests offered by the IR and XRF spectroscopic community. The design provides for an economical solution, combined with the features of safety and automation to uniformly and reproducibly prepare samples. The hydraulic power unit is electrically operated and completely self-contained. An integral safety shield with a clear, impact resistant access door surrounds the work area. For added safety, the door is interlocked with an emergency sensor which disengages press operation in the open position. Contributing to convenient bench-top installation is its compactness which consumes only 1.50 square feet.

Operating parameters are easily programmed with keypad entry and digital display. The electronics provide for programming pressure (4 - 40 tons), dwell time ( 0 - 5940 seconds), press cycling and review of operational diagnostics. The ram stroke automatically opens and closes with single button control.

The assembly consists of rigid side slab construction, safety shield, 8" round platen, and microprocessor control system. The 8" round platen provides ample area for large dies, sample holders and heated platens commonly used with the constant thickness film maker. Included is provision for vacuum line connection to pellet dies and connection for RS-232 computer interface.

Press dimensions are 22"H x 11"W x 20"D. The ram stroke is 1.5" with maximum 5.32" daylight. Weighs 319 lbs.

If required, refer to Part No. 15515 for optional 4" round water cooled, 300C heating platens with temperature controller. The heated platens are able to withstand pressure up to a maximum 15 tons.
