Interchangeable Tables
The lower table on the machine is interchangeable. Different sized
optional tables can be obtained for various materials & handling
requirements.
The tables simply fit right onto the
table support. The sides of the angle
brackets on the underside of the
table will slide along the sides of the
square tubing of the table support.
Make sure the small bar strip falls
inside the table support tubing.
A quick release pin may be provided
to lock the lower table in place,
keeping it from lifting from vacuum during opening of the press.
Maintenance
The majority of the press has been designed to be as maintenance free
as possible. There are only a few aspects of the machine that should be
monitored to insure proper operation.
•
The pressure adjustment screw is an area of wear and stress on the machine
and should be checked occaisionally for loss of threading. Check the threads
of the pressure screw and the pressure block it screws into and replace if
needed.
•
The handle arm and moving linkage is another area of greatest wear and
stress on the machine. Check the 8 pivot bolts and nuts that hold all the
blue linkage frame pieces together. Make sure the nuts are not loosening
and causing the moving frame pieces to loosen. Loss of pressure and will
result. If loosening, use LOCTITE Threadlocker or equivalent on the
threads of the bolts to make sure the nuts to not unwind prematurely. If
the holes the pivot bolts pass through are ovaled or worn, replace that part
of the frame by contacting the factory.
•
The silicone pad on the lower table can degrade after much use and over
an extended period of time. This pad is replaceable.
