LabManual 300<\/a>. But if you want to cool down with e.g. 10\u00b0C per minute, or with 15\u00b0C+\/-2\u00b0C \/min. according to ASTM D4703, you should opt for an automated lab press.<\/span><\/p>\r\nClosing force<\/b><\/h4>\r\n
When working with a hydraulic system, it is obvious that there is a small loss of closing force after a certain period of time. With the automated lab presses, such a loss is immediately detected and the control will take care that the setpoint is reached again and will be maintained. With the manually operated press, this loss of closing force is not automatically monitored.\u00a0 In case a stable closing force for a long time is key, the operator has to check the actual closing force on the digital display regularly, and if necessary adjust the closing force by pumping manually.<\/span><\/p>\r\nIndeed on a manually operated lab press the closing force is applied manually by using the pump handle until the desired pressure is obtained or until the maximum pressure is reached. When working with an automated press you only have to push a button to start the recipe according to which the press has to work and the control systems ensure that all setpoints are automatically reached. Exact repeatability and data readout through a USB interface are only possible with automated lab presses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Consequently, an automated press is the best choice if you require a bigger output. But in situations where the number of samples that need to be pressed is limited, the manually operated lab presses can be used instead, at a significantly reduced cost. <\/span>They are also often used as a secondary or backup press, allowing to run a limited number of extra tests in addition to the production of the \u2018normal\u2019 samples that are handled by an automated press.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
Another application that the manual presses are particularly suitable for, is for pressing fragile sample materials \u2013 such as glass \u2013, or materials for which the pressing force must be built up very carefully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Contact us for more info” style=”flat” color=”juicy-pink” align=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fontijnepresses.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|title:Contact”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
