Instrument characteristics
The complete design of Gibitre press has been specifically developed to get the best possible results: Mechanical structure with 4 columns (60 mm diameter) and sliding platen driven by self-lubricating bushing Hydraulic system with 20 tons closure force (which ensures 5 MPa pressure over 200x200 mm mould surface).
250x250 mm chrome plated steel platens with 40 mm thickness to ensure minimal deflection even at high pressing forces.
Specifically designed flat heating elements to ensure uniform temperature distribution over the platen surface (max 2°C)
According to the needs of the customer, the press may be equipped with Automatic Press Control, Cooling system and Closure Force Control.
Max useable platen surface
250 mm x 250 mm
Max closure force
25 Tons
Temperatures
From room temperature to 250°C (300°C optional). 0.1°C Resolution
Platen temperature control
Independent temperature control of the plates by means of PID controllers Maximum Temperature difference in the 200x200 mm central area: 2°C
Touch Screen PLC controller (optional)
PLC with touch-screen display. Permits to set: - movements of the moving plate - temperatures of the plates. - activation of cooling and cooling rate (with cooling option) - closure force (with regulation option
Closure Force Regulator (optional)
Special hydraulic system for continuous force regulation during the closure of the platens. The closure force can be set between 6 and 200 kN with 100 N regulation steps. Max regulation error below 10%.
Platen cooling (option)
Press Platens with water cooling circuit The control of the cooling and of the cooling rate is controlled by the PLC controller The connection to a water source or a Chiller is required (fittings 1/4'')
