Atlas™ Autotouch 8T, 15T and 5T Hydraulic Presses

1. Introduction
Thank ou for purchasing a Specac product.
The Atlas™ Autotouch 8Ton (8T), 15Ton (15T) and 25Ton (25T)
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
up to 8 tons on the 8T, 15 tons on the 15T and 25 tons on the 25T.
These presses are specificall suited to the preparation of solid sample
discs using Specac Atlas™ evacuable pellet die assemblies, but the
ma also be adapted to provide heated pressing surfaces b
installation of Specac Atlas™ Heated Platens P/N GS15515. (The
heated platens are limited to 15 tons maximum load.)
The Atlas™ Autotouch 8T/15T/25T 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 220mm in diameter 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.

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 8T/15T/25T 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 8T/15T/25T 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. Un acking, Checking and Installation
Beware! The Atlas™ Autotouch 8T/15T/25T press is very heavy
and care must e taken to transport it correctly. Please
keep the press packing materials for future transportation
if necessary y reversing the following procedure. This
will protect you and the press from accident or injury.
Remove the outer wooden box casing and the top la er packing card
(where the instruction manual was located) to lift clear of the base
pallet. There are 2 crosshead screws on 2 sides at the base of the box
that must be unscrewed to separate the box from the base pallet.
The Atlas™ Autotouch 8T/15T/25T press is on a base packing piece
which also holds a lead screw assembl and special parts for a lifting
“e e bolt” assembl . An appropriate mains lead (or leads) will also be
located in this area. Cut the straps that hold these items in place. You
will need to assemble the lifting e e bolt pieces through the press
(where the lead screw assembl is positioned for operation) to lift the
press clear from the pallet and its transportation packing.

Before the e e bolt 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 the handle to
gain access to the internal pressing area. Remove the packing inside.
Now take the lifting e e bolt pieces and assemble through the top of
the press as shown in the diagram.
Note: Ensure that the pieces are firmly olted together prior to
moving/lifting the press.
