The laboratory press is able to produce sample boards for testing purposes, with adjustable specific pressure and adjustable temperature for binder curing
The PL100 Laboratory Press is produced in a standard 600 x 600 mm version but other sizes may be evaluated upon request
The laboratory press has its own electronic control which reads the signal coming from a level transducer and the pressure inside the cylinder
The data regarding the cycle required is stored in its memory
The system controls the various phases of the cycle following a logic sequence, and the switching over from one phase to the next occurs as soon as a specific condition is fulfilled
The parameters available to the operator are thickness, time, pressure and internal temperature of the board during the press cycle
The memory is ample enough to store a large number of cycles (the number is limited by the computer’s hard disk storage capacity), and the parameters relating to each cycle are stored as well
The system directly controls the hydraulic valves to obtain the desired cycle
The software has been developed on two bases: a computer to set, store and display the data, for which clear and intuitive graphics are used, and a microprocessor for the actual control of the process, which has been created with the aid of sturdy and reliable HW, suitably designed for the purpose.
