Atlas™ Autotouch 40T Hydraulic Presses

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.
User Manual

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
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 11 to 14 regarding safe operation before using the press
for the first time.
The Atlas™ Autotouch 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 Section 10 in this manual.
The Atlas™ Autotouch 40T press is full CE marked to compl with
strict European regulations.
WEEE Directive For Equipment Disposal
The s mbol (above) on the back of the press indicates that this product
complies with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(WEEE). If this product is in use and was purchased within the
European Union, please contact our local sales agent or Specac to
make arrangements for disposal of this equipment.

2. Unpacking, Checking and Installation
Beware! The Atlas™ Autotouch 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™ Autotouch 40T 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 manual (as advised from the external warning label on the
packing case), proceed as follows.

User Manual

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 to connect to the press for operation.
Removing the Lifting “Eye Bolt” Assembly
You will need to dismantle the lifting e e bolt pieces from the Atlas™
Autotouch 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
