1. Introduction
Thank ou for purchasing a Specac product.
The Atlas™ Automatic (Auto) 40 Ton (40T) H draulic Press is an
automatic and programmable h draulic press which has been
designed for a wide variet of pressing applications within the
laborator or heav industrial environments, to appl a load up to 40
tons maximum. The press is specificall suited to the preparation of
solid sample discs using Specac evacuable pellet die assemblies, but
it ma also be adapted to provide heated pressing surfaces b
installation of Specac Atlas™ Heated Platens P/N GS15515. (Limited
to 15 tons maximum load.)
The Atlas™ Auto 40T press enables 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 140mm tall. 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.
The sample is held in the pressing area prior to compression b use of
a lead screw and top anvil pressing face mechanism. Incorporated into
this mechanism are compression disc springs that allow for a slow
release of an load to the sample pressing procedure. In the
compression process the disc springs will be initiall compressed
before full resistance is met to stop the travel of the piston. When an
Atlas™ Auto 40T Hydraulic Press
5
stored load is released the disc springs will relax to their non-
compressed state and hence provide for a slow release of a full load.
An important part of the press is the safet guard mechanism. For an
operation of the press the safet guard must be in its closed (down)
position. Accidental raising of the guard, even if the press is under
load, will automaticall abort the pressing operation and reduce the
load from the s stem to render it safe. Please read section 3 on
pages 10 to 13 regarding safe operation before using the press
for the first time.
The Atlas™ Auto 40T press is provided with USB connectivit if it is a
requirement to operate the press remotel from a computer s stem.
For remote operation, please see the Section 8 in this manual.
The Atlas™ Auto 40T press is full CE marked to compl with strict
European regulations.

complies with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(WEEE). If this product is in use and was purchased within the

2. Unpac ing, Chec ing and Installation
Beware: The Atlas™ Auto 40T press is very heavy and care must
be taken to transport it correctly. lease keep the press
packing materials for future transportation by reversing
the following procedure. This will protect you and the
press from accident or injury.
The Atlas™ Auto T40 press is shipped in a timber packing case with a
special pallet base. The press is packed with a lifting “e e bolt”
assembl alread fitted, read for lifting with the customer’s crane.
Having alread removed the screws around the top perimeter of the
timber packing case and lifted off the top lid to allow access to the
instruction manaul (as advised from the external warning label on the
packing case), proceed as follows.
50mm x 50mm Timber

and Blocks (x4)
Ribs
Lead Screw
Assembl
Lift E e Bolt
Assembl

Remove the 8 coach bolt (nuts & washers) and blocks securing the 2
retaining timber ribs. Take out the 2 ribs. Remove the 4 screws
securing the 50mm x 50mm timber on the inside. Remove the 50mm x
50mm timber b “knocking” upwards if necessar .
The press is now read to be lifted out of the wooden pallet.
NOTE: The press MUST be lifted into its working position using a
suitable hoist (or crane) with a lifting hook to pass through
the eye bolt. DO NOT ATTEM T TO LIFT THE RESS BY
ANY OTHER METHOD. When the press has been installed
and the lead screw assembly has been fitted, for any
subsequent possible repositioning, the press should
NEVER be lifted via the lead screw handle. Always use the
lifting eye bolt assembly pieces for a re-siting operation.
The press can now be lifted upwards and out of the pallet/box using a
crane, after attaching the crane hook to the press lifting ring on the top.
The leadscrew assembl and mains power cable will also be located in
the box. Cut the straps that hold these items in place.
Place the press in its working position. The bench worktop should be of
a minimum thickness of 25mm. The press needs to be sited near to an
electrical power suppl and also near to a water suppl and drainage
sink if the Atlas™ Heated Platens P/N GS15515 are used.
Removing the Lifting “Eye Bolt” Assembly
You will need to dismantle the lifting e e bolt pieces from the Atlas™
Auto 40T press and fit the lead screw assembl before the press can
be used.
Before the lead screw assembl can be put in place the internal
packing in the press has to be removed. Cut the tape at the top of the
plastic bag and around the base of the bag and lift clear of the press.
You will see that there is further protective packing within the pressing
area of the press behind the safet guard. The safet guard is in the
down position and held in place b stick tape to the base of the press
on the outside. Remove the stick tape and lift up the safet guard via
User Manual

the handle to gain access to the internal pressing area. Remove the
packing inside.
Using a suitable bar and appropriate spanner undo the e e bolt from
the e e bolt assembl of parts. Some force ma be needed initiall to
overcome the thread-locking sealant that is used to ensure the parts
do not undo in transit.
Now remove the lifting e e bolt pieces awa from the press. The screw
bolt and lower spread washer are removed from inside the pressing
area b opening of the front safet guard.
Fit the lead screw assembl as shown in the diagram on page 26. For
operation ensure the bolster pressing anvil face (10) is securel fixed
