Product Manual A

Shop Press Installation
This manual provides installation requirements for the Edwards
20 Ton Shop Press and 40 Ton Shop Press.
All Edwards hydraulic accessory tools are powered by an
Edwards Ironworker or an Edwards Porta Power, portable
hydraulic power-plant.
Refer to Safety, Installation, Operations and Maintenance
manuals for the Edwards power-plant you are using to oper-
ate your Edwards hydraulic accessory tool.
Environmental Requirements at Work Station
The work station environment for your Edwards Shop Press must meet
the following minimum requirements:
• Ambient temperature: 7.2°C - 43.3°C [45°F - 110°F]
• Relative humidity: No greater than 90% relative humidity.
• Floor area: Assure that the machinery work area provides
for a stable, adequately sized and load rated oor area for
material movement to and from the machinery work stations.
• Shelter: Protect your Ironworking machinery from water, salts
and corrosive elements.
• Lighting: 500LUX (50 footcandles) minimum.
Receiving the Shop Press
Edwards Hydraulic Accessory Tools are fully assembled and are shipped
either by palletized custom wooden crate or by shrink-wrapped wooden
pallet for ease of transport and receiving.
Inspect the packaging for damage and follow shipping/receiving instruc-
tions as listed on the packaging prior to receiving the tool into your
facility.
When receiving your Hydraulic Accessory Tool, be prepared to safely
move your machinery with a fork-lift rated for the following equipment
weights:
Minimum Machinery Weights
20 Ton Press 181.43kg/400lb
40 Ton Press 612.34kg/1350lb
Utilize best practices for fork-lift operation. Handle material as close
to the drive surface as possible with the widest spread and deepest pen-
etration of forks effective to service the pallet. Forks should be adjusted
and locked into the safety detent closest to the maximum available fork
spread.
Unpacking/Moving the Shop Press
Your Edwards 20 Ton Shop Press or 40 Ton Shop Press includes surface
and remotely mounted electrical cabling and hydraulic lines. Exercise
caution when removing the factory supplied packaging. Do not cut elec-
trical wires or hydraulic hoses.
1. Carefully remove packaging.
2. Carefully remove the ¾” lagbolts and washers attaching the Press
to the shipping pallet.
3. Locate the fork-lift areas directly adjacent to the cylinder.
4. Carefully insert forks under the press head assembly. Do not al-
low forks to hit cylinder or cylinder ram. Conrm that forks are in
contact with both front and rear press head frames. Install clamps
(not included) to forks so that the press is stable while moving and
lift the press from the pallet.
5. Locate your Press directly adjacent to the Edwards Ironworker or
Porta Power. Ensure that power controls of the Ironworker or
Porta Power are within arms-reach of the Press tool.
Installing the 20 Ton Shop Press
1. The 20 Ton Shop Press is designed to sit on a dedicated, weight
rated table or bench top. DO NOT MOUNT ON CASTERS. The
table/bench rating should be a minimum multiplier of 2.5 times the
weight of the Press plus the weight of any tooling being used within
the Press, plus the material being pressed.
2. Locate leveling and attachment brackets. With a level placed within
the work cavity, check the machinery for level. Adjust for level by
installing four(4) ½” bolts in the tapped holes provided in the
brackets. When level, drill for four(4) ¾” through bolts to secure
press to table. Tighten nuts, washers and bolts to complete bench
installation.
Installing the 40 Ton Shop Press
1. The 40 Ton Shop Press is designed to mount on a dedicated,
weight rated ooring system. DO NOT MOUNT ON CASTERS. The
oor rating should be a minimum multiplier of 2.5 times the weight
of the Press plus the weight of any tooling being used within the
Press, plus the material being pressed.
2. Locate leveling and attachment brackets. With a level placed within
the work cavity, check the machinery for level. Adjust for level by
installing four (4) ½” bolts in the tapped holes provided in the
brackets. When level, drill for four (4) ¾” wedge anchor bolts to
secure press to oor. Install wedge anchor bolts, install washers,
and tighten nuts to complete oor installation.
