Operations
Safe Operation
Observe the following guidelines when performing Press operations.
• Operator safety / Safe work zone Applying pressure to parts
or assemblies can cause failure of the part being worked, a part
adjacent to the work or the pressing tool. Failed parts can become
airborne projectiles with deadly force. Protect yourself with appropriate personal protective equipment when operating the press.
Protect others by defi ning a safe work zone for press use and
limiting access to the press operator.
• Press Inspection Press operations may generate concussive
failure to mechanical parts. Although Edwards press machinery is
fabricated with both bolted and welded construction, concussive
failure is a possibility over time or with extreme use. Prior to any
press operation, visually check all bolted and welded connections
for failure. All bolts must be tight and welds intact. Failure to verify
the structural integrity of the machinery may result in workpiece
shift, part ejection, operator injury or machinery damage.
• Special Fits Not all parts were designed and engineered to be
removed or applied with a press. When inspecting your workpiece,
confi rm any press tolerances, environmental, heating, cooling or
fi xative requirements that require special care prior to initiating
the press operation. Do not proceed with a press operation without acknowledgement that the workpiece is pressable.
• Do not force press Consider the rating of the press and the
work at hand. Gradually build pressure being applied to the workpiece. Carefully observe the workpiece to avoid tooling misalignment or workpiece failure. Observe the press as it reacts under
load. Do not overload the press. Take care to avoid parts falling
from the workpiece.
• Workpiece Inspection Workpiece failure is the most common
source of injury during press operations. Take time to thoroughly
understand the workpiece. Never apply pressure to unstable
material, objects, round shapes, balls, springs or any item with
elastic, spring-back tendencies. Confi rm the material properties
of the workpiece will withstand the pressure to be exerted by
the press. Confi rm that workpiece items are stripped down to
their simplest form. Many components contain unseen items that
could fail during the press operation. Remove all sub components
known to the workpiece prior to a pressing operation. Workpiece
must be clean and free of substances at the pressing surface that
would allow the pressing surfaces to slip under load.
• Workpiece Support Workpiece failure may be a result of
improper or inadequate workpiece support. Adequate support
for the workpiece must be present through the entirety of the
press operation. Understand your workpiece and confi rm that the
workpiece support system you employ will withstand the pressure
being exerted through the press operation.
• Safe use of tooling Edwards Mfg. Co. provides standard tooling
supplied with the HP20T. This tooling is designed to be safely
used with the arbor support. Custom tooling is available for
special applications. Care must be taken when selecting press
tooling. Select tooling that is designed and rated for the specifi c
application. Press with the shortest, most compact, tool length
available. Confi rm that press tooling and workpiece are aligned
and follows a direct press path. Misaligned loads may fail the
press tooling or workpiece and cause operator injury or damage
to the machinery.

Setup
Your HP20T has been factory tested and setup to immediately “plug
and play” with your Edwards Ironworker Hydraulic Accessory Pack or
Porta Power, portable hydraulic unit.
The Press is constructed of six basic assemblies: the base cabinet,
the table, the hydraulic cylinder enclosure, measuring system, tooling
block and arbor support.
Base cabinet
Beyond providing tooling storage, the base cabinet of the HP20T
accommodates leveling and height adjustment of up to 2”. Adjust
for additional table height by rotating the leveling feet clockwise or
counterclockwise and following instructions for hard-mounting the machinery to the fl oor. The base cabinet also houses the digital encoder
/ auto-stop adjustment, tool squaring function and extension table
bulkheads.
Table
The HP20T working surface is a solid plate of machined A36 steel. The
surface is ground and machined to allow for the installation of the 20
ton hydraulic ram, measuring hardware, hardened bushings and the
tooling steel wear plate. The wear plate is S7 tool steel and has been
ground fl ush with the prime table surface. Both the prime table and
wear plate are protected with a surface applied rust inhibitor which will
require maintenance over time to prevent rust and corrosion. The 24”
x 42” table may be enlarged by adding table extensions to the table
bulkheads located in the base cabinet.
Hydraulic Cylinder
The HP20T is powered by either your Edwards Ironworker or Edwards
Porta Power, 3000psi portable hydraulic power source. The 20’ umbilical hosing and quick connect hardware supply hydraulic power to the
hydraulic cylinder within the HP20T. The HP20T cylinder features a
2.25” ram for tooling stability, 20 tons of pressure and a 10” maximum
stroke. Cylinder stroke is manipulated with a simple hand-wheel and
measured with a roller encoder and digital readout at the table surface
accurate to 0.01”.
Measuring System
The HP20T features a roller encoder driven measuring system. Hand
crank activated, the measuring system moves a proximity switch and
marker along a graduated scale. The proximity switch controls cylinder
stroke and can be located anywhere along the graduated scale allowing for up to 10” of stroke travel. The digital readout provides for fi ne
adjustment to 0.01”.
When the machine is rst received the limit scale will be set to 0,
this will stop the ram from extending. To extend the cylinder rotate
the scale hand crank. The cylinder will extend as far as the pointer
and scale indicate. The digital readout can help with seeing precise
measurements, and can also be reset with a face button.

Page 25
Tooling Block
The tooling block of the HP20T is fi xed to the ram of the cylinder.
The machined surface features horizontal T-slots for custom tooling
applications and a vertical slot for standard 6” brake tooling. Tooling
fi xes to the vertical slot with 4 set-screws. The tooling block slides
on two, adjustable gib-pins recessed into the machined surface. The
gib-pins provide leveling and bearing surfaces that will wear over time.
Periodically adjust the gib-pins to ensure the ram is parallel to the table
surface.
Press Operation
• For Operator safety, wear personal protective equipment, clear the
work zone of any tooling or debris prior to powering the machinery on.
• Perform press inspection.
• Perform workpiece inspection.
• Turn power source on.
• Retract ram, install press tooling.
• Adjust tooling as necessary to achieve the shortest ram travel.
• Safely load, position and support workpiece.
• Align and secure tooling to the tooling block.
• Carefully, slowly, extend ram and tooling to meet press site. Preload
the workpiece and observe workpiece support and tooling alignment.
Observe the preloaded condition from multiple angles to assure
that the press tooling is in alignment with the ram and workpiece. If
unstable, reverse ram, reset workpiece and re-align press tooling.
• Gradually build pressure to complete the press operation.
• Retract the ram to relieve hydraulic pressure following the press
operation.
Arbor Support
The arbor support is a hinged steel bar that, when attached to the
tooling arbor, rigidly supports the arbor and eliminates a potential cantilever tooling failure. THE ARBOR SUPPORT STRUCTURE IS REQUIRED
TO BE ENGAGED IN ALL STANDARD PRESSING OPERATIONS.
