Hydraulic System

The TMP press Hydraulic System is a proven for its efficiency and long-term reliability. These hydraulics combined with TMP's advanced controls provide press control, accuracy and flexibility unmatched in the industry. The system includes:

TMP Advanced Controls Systems

TMP offers two standard controls packages for the molding of composites. The BPS Control Package, although basic, provides programmable control of pressures, times, allowing for bump cycles, multiple cure settings, and platen temperature control. It includes a microprocessor and an LCD display to enter recipes and compare actual process values to pre-programmed settings.

The industry's most advanced system used for these products as well as for most composites, laminates and circuit-board lamination is the TMP "Edge" Control System. This is a PLC-based system designed to improve product quality through better pressing accuracy, repeatability, versatile process control programming and monitoring of data for analysis.NEMA-type enclosure mounted to the side of the press.

Control of all press functions, recipe input, and process monitoring is readily attainable through the operator interface
