switches (

) will reset themselves when the temperature of the cooling
blocks (
2
) and (
3
) returns to about 55°C.
The thermal cut-off switches (
1
) also act as a safeguard if the
thermocouple connection is broken, and the system goes open circuit.
In this condition power would be continuously fed to the four heaters
and the cooling blocks (
2
) and (
3
) would get very hot. However, when
the temperature of either or both blocks exceed 70°C the thermal cut-
off switches will operate and therefore stop any “temperature runaway”
of the system.
Pressing Considerations
When using the Atlas™ High Temperature Film Maker Accessory in an
Atlas™ Manual 15T or 25T Press (P/N’s GS15011 or P/N GS25011
respectively) although the tonnage loads to be applied for pressing are
typically low at 1 to 2 tons, with a
maximum
load specification to 2
tons, Specac recommend that the safety guards fitted to the Press as
standard
are used at all times
.
For protection against tonnage overloading the High Temperature Film
Maker Accessory of parts when samples are to be pressed,
it is a
requirement
that the pressure relief valve assembly on a manual
hydraulic T15 or T25 press (the valve is located under the load gauge
on the press), is set to read a
2 tons maximum load
at the load
gauge. You should adjust the pressure relief valve assembly as
necessary following instructions for the procedure from the presses
own user instruction manual.
When using the Atlas™ High Temperature Film Maker Accessory in an
Atlas™ Power or Autotouch 8T Press (P/N GS25400 or P/N GS25800
respectively), the front safety guard of the press MUST be closed to
allow for the Press to operate. The Atlas™ High Temperature Film
Maker Accessory has been designed to fit into these presses for
operation when the front safety guard is closed. When using these
presses ensure that a load of up to
2 tons maximum
ONLY
is
selected to apply to the High Temperature Film Maker Accessory. Any
higher loads that can be applied from these presses will result in
damage to the top (
4
) and lower (
5
) heated pressing surface
assemblies.
