WABASH MPI RECEIVES PATENT FOR E-SERIES COMPRESSION PRESS
Wabash MPI has recently received patent U.S. 6990896B2 for their all electric E-Series Compression Press. Especially suited for clean room and laboratory applications, the E-Series is designed for round-the-clock performance in a lab or on the production floor.
This press series is clean, quiet to operate, and offers greater precision and reliability over hydraulically driven presses. It also offers greater energy savings, especially for longer dwell time applications. The E-Series is ideal for compression molding rubber/elastomers, gum silicones, various TPR’s, thermosets, and plastics, but can also be used in various bonding and laminating applications. The unique all electric power/drive system provides accurate ramping of clamp force from 1,000 lbs to 30 tons.
Standard temperature range is to 650°F (higher temperatures optionally available), and platen sizes range from 12" x 12" to 24" x 24".
The E-series features a microprocessor-based programmable control of all press functions. Heated platens are fully insulated, cartridge heaters are included. The temperature is controlled thru the PLC and has programmable heating and cooling capability. An integral load cell is included for force feedback to the PLC providing programmable pressure ramping capability. The PLC also has a segmented program structure with recipe storage.

NEW 1000-TON COMPRESSION PRESS FROM WABASH MPI
A new 1000-ton hydraulic compression press is available from WABASH MPI. The press features programmable control of clamp position, closed loop control of clamp force from 10 to 1000 tons, and fully programmable compression and decompression rates throughout the entire force range. The PLC control provides for recipe storage as well as remote communications capabilities.
The WABASH press, Model 1000-36X, has a 36” x 36” work area which can be equipped with heated platens for compression molding of rubber and composites. Rigid, four tie rod design assures minimal deflection and easy parallelism adjustment. Integral hydraulic system powers 30” diameter clamp cylinder and two double acting fast advance cylinders. Fully enclosed and interlocked clamp area guarding is standard for operator protection.
