ABSTRACT:
A control apparatus provides for automatic programmed sequencing of pressure bumps at precisely determined pressures in a molding press and optionally provides for full pressure or low pressure cure at the conclusion of the bumping operation. The control apparatus comprises a press pressure monitor that measures press clamp pressure and produces an output signal indicative of the measured press pressure, and a control circuit that compares the output signal with a program selected one of a number of reference signals respectively indicative of bump pressures at which a bump may be desired and directs the press to perform a bump upon a predetermined relationship between the output signal and reference signal, such being indicative of the attainment of the bump pressure indicated by the then selected reference signal. Upon completion of the bumping operation, either full or low pressure cure may be effected. For full pressure cure, the control circuit permits press clamp pressure to increase to full pressure which is then maintained during cure. For low pressure cure, the control circuit compares the output voltage of the press pressure monitor to a program selected reference signal indicative of the desired cure pressure and upon a predetermined relationship therebetween indicative of the attainment of such cure pressure, directs the press to maintain such pressure within a prescribed range.
