50-Ton Vacuum Hot Press

50-Ton Vacuum Hot Press (445-Kilonewton)

Maximum Temperature:

• 2000^o C (3632^o F) – Optional 2200^o C Operation (3992^o F)

Power Requirements:

• 480 volts, 60 hertz, 3 phase (Optional 380 volt, 50 hertz operation available for additional charge)

External Dimensions:

• 99” high x 74” wide x 74” deep (251cm x 188cm x 188cm)

Atmosphere:

• High vacuum, rough vacuum, and atmosphere operation

Features:

• Standard one-year warranty.
• This is a compact, packaged, and assembled unit.
• Graphite hot zone and four-sided graphite heating elements for optimum uniformity.
• Upper ram is moveable with 6” stroke. Bottom ram is fixed.
• Fully automatic operation with PLC programmer/controller with alphanumeric display to indicate hot press processing cycles.
• Programmable closed-loop temperature/pressure control. This system will consist of a Yokogawa UP750 two-loop programmable temperature controller with 300 programs and 3,000 segments. The UP750 will control the temperature and the pressure on the hydraulic ram on the same timeline.
• Mechanical vacuum pump.
• High vacuum operation. Includes 6” high-speed diffusion pump, high-vacuum gate valve, foreline valve, and all necessary vacuum plumbing and automation to enable the system to operate in high vacuum.
• Liquid nitrogen cold trap with digital temperature controller to minimize liquid nitrogen consumption.
• Digital ram movement indicator with resolution to the nearest .001”.
• Digital vacuum gauge with a range of atmosphere to 1 x 10(-5) Torr.
• Digital high-limit safety controller with Type “C” thermocouple.
• We provide written operating procedures, complete detailed electrical schematics, and manuals for all instrumentation and controls on the hot press.
• Includes one day of test fire and operator training at our plant in Terryville, Connecticut, USA.

Options:

• 2200^o C operation (3992^o F). Includes automatic thermocouple retractor and optical pyrometer.
• Roots blower.
• Remote diagnostics via a modem, enabling us to remotely aid in troubleshooting the hot press and guide your maintenance people directly. This should virtually eliminate the need for field service.
• 6-channel Yokogawa paperless datalogging chart recorder with digital communications. Network compatible – can appear as a node on a network, making remote data gathering fast and easy. Includes built-in memory card for storage.
• Yokogawa Light Loader to facilitate uploading and downloading programs, configuration files, and auto-tuning parameters. This device clips on the face of the Yokogawa UP750 instrument and plugs into a USB port on a PC-based laptop or desktop computer, greatly facilitating and simplifying instrument configuration, program storage, and auto-tuning. Can be used for writing programs and storing detailed configuration data.
