Press #1 — 5 FT × 12 FT
SDM Technology 5 ft × 12 ft SDM Dual Loader LAMINATOR Series™ 600T, two-opening composite press. The press is designed for years of trouble-free service — the finest composite press you can buy. The hydraulic power pack utilizes an efficient air-over-oil high-pressure system, and the cylinders are custom made for SDM by Eaton.
This press can easily deliver 150 psi over a 5 ft × 12 ft composite and still apply very uniform low-pressure loads (15 PSI). The platens are temperature tuned with proprietary diverters that yield the most uniform temperature obtainable, and the MAX-RAMP™ platens allow fast, uniform temperature changes. Platens are blanchard ground, flat and parallel within 0.004″.
The press is ideally suited to produce laminates and honeycomb panels. This equipment qualified both Hexcel and ICI Fiberite carbon tooling for Boeing, and has produced Nylon and PPS (600°F) carbon and glass reinforced laminates from 0.010″ through 1.0″ thick.
