1COOPER FT72 Press – Characteristics and applications of this model
This press represents a generation of extremely reliable Italian machines from the late 1970s. Furthermore, massive cast iron parts and thick steel sections form this structure. Let’s examine the pneumatic connection of the unit. On the right, the blue spiral air hose connects to the upper manifold. This system, therefore, controls auxiliary mechanisms or safety interlocks.
Purpose:
The press primarily glues solid wood doors and panels. The craftsman always uses natural veneer for the facing.
Mechanism:
The machine uses side hydraulic cylinders and a transmission beam system. These mechanisms evenly lower the top plate or raise the bottom plate.
Advantage:
The panels do not have built-in electric heaters. Therefore, the machine consumes electricity only when the hydraulic pump is running. The pump generates a preset pressure. This feature saves workshops money when using slow-hardening PVA adhesives.
Safety and Maintenance
Machines in this class have a safety cable around the entire perimeter of the press. This cable ensures immediate operation stop in the event of danger. Buyers in the Balkans highly value these used presses. These robust industrial machines guarantee easy maintenance. They maintain stable plate geometry after decades of operation.
