A compact, portable in-line heat press machine that holds the upper heated platen horizontal and laterally aligned with the lower platen is provided. The lower frame has front and rear pivot joints on each side of such frame to accommodate linkage arms pivotally attached to it and the upper frames which has similar pivot joints. As such the upper heated platen is lifted up and straight back with respect to the lower platen assembly which completely clears the lower platen for unobstructed loading/unloading of lower platen while keeping the upper platen assembly in a horizontal position. When the upper platen is moved into the lower position, a locking mechanism affixes the upper and lower platen assemblies so that the platen actuators can cause a linear movement between them thus causing a pressing action.

A tool and die set and related method of use of the tool and die set in a press for the compaction of a powder metal into a preform involves an uneven amount of positional deflection of at least two lower or upper tool members. This asymmetrical elastic response under load may help to eliminate cracking of the part after the compressive load is removed.

A method for producing tablets with an active substance including inputting a target number of tablets to produce and a target mass indicating the quantity of active substance per tablet, transmitting the target number and target mass to a controller configured to control a dosing device, a weighing device, extendable upper and lower punches, filling a quantity of the active substance from a container into an opening of a die. While filling, a pressure face of the lower punch closes the opening, and the amount of the active substance is measured by the weighing device on which the lower punch and the die are placed while filling. The method further including pressing the active substance, releasing a pressed tablet from the die, and repeating the repeating the process until the target number is reached.

A preparing process for pressing particulate aggregates into a slab and a shaping apparatus are described. The preparing process includes: mixing particulate aggregates of different sizes and a liquid material as per a preset proportion to obtain a mixture; spreading the mixture flatly in a preset thickness onto a conveyor belt or into a mould frame; vacuumizing the mixture; shaping, wherein a pressing plate is disposed covering the mixture during the shaping procedure to constantly apply a downward pressure against the mixture; a ram disposed over the pressing plate continuously smashes the pressing plate, wherein during ram smashing, the pressure created by the pressing plate forms a continuous holding force to the mixture, the smashing force created from up-down motion of the ram is transferred to the mixture via the pressing plate.

A heat press includes a base, a handle, a heater arm, a controller, a lower platen, and an upper platen. The handle is pivotally coupled to the base. The heater arm is pivotally coupled to the base. The controller is pivotally coupled to the handle and the heater arm such that the controller pivots from a first position to a second position during a pivotal movement of the handle from an open position to a closed position. The lower platen is connected to base. The upper platen is connected to the heater arm. A surface of the upper platen is separated from a surface of the lower platen in the open position. The surface of the upper platen is in contact with the surface of the lower platen in the closed position.

A heat press includes a base, a handle, a controller, a heater arm, a pressure link, a lower platen, and an upper platen. The handle is pivotally coupled to the base. The controller is integrally formed with the handle. The heater arm is pivotally coupled to the base. The pressure link is pivotally coupled to the handle and the heater arm. The lower platen is connected to base. The upper platen is connected to the heater arm. A surface of the upper platen is separated from a surface of the lower platen in a first position, and the surface of the upper platen is in contact with the surface of the lower platen in a second position.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for a rosin press that allows improved extraction over existing presses. The press includes improved platens for rosin collection with built-in gutter rail collection systems and well-distributed force on the pressed product and multiple hydraulic rams. In addition, computerized systems are provided for controlling and monitoring the system in an automated fashion, as well as safety features to prevent injury and damage to the product, especially during automated pressing.

The present invention relates to a press part (1,20,30,40) for supporting a mould part for encapsulating electronic components mounted on a carrier comprising a press block (2, 42), which press block comprises a contact surface (3), a side (4) facing away from the contact surface and at least one side wall (5) connecting the contact surface (3) and the side (4) facing away from the contact surface(3), wherein the press block (2, 42) comprises at least two opposed elements (6a, 6b, 21a, 21b, 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, 44) protruding from the side wall (5), and wherein the side wall (5) transposes via only a recess (7) into each of the protruding elements (6a, 6b, 21a 21b, 31a 31b, 31c 31d 44). The present invention further relates to a press comprising the press part of the present invention.

Various rosin press assemblies and methods are described. The rosin press assemblies can include a frame, press plates, a user interface, a press system, and a control unit. The frame can include a plurality of support elements, such as plates. Each plate within the frame can have tabs formed on the ends and edges of the plates and can have slots formed in the plates. The tabs from one plate can interlock with tabs or slots from other plates to form an interlocking frame. The interlocking frame can increase rigidity of the frame to prevent the frame from flexing during operation of the rosin press.

A heat press includes a handle portion and a curved heat plate. That handle portion may be configured to be grasped by a user, and the curved heat (i.e., having a curved engagement surface) may be configured to engage a heat-activated design implement to transfer a design of the heat-activated design implement to a curved surface of a workpiece. Also disclosed herein, according to various embodiments, is a heat press stand having a curved floor and a hat form for supporting a workpiece (e.g., a hat) during a heat-activated design transfer using the heat press. Associated methods are also disclosed herein.
