The presses can be used with dies provided by Specac, and other sample preparation accessories, and can hold samples with diameters up to 200 mm. The applied load is automatically applied and released by the system and can either be ran for a specified time or indefinitely.

Control over load application is achieved via a touch screen display, which also provides information on the press data in real time, as well as an alarm to indicate the end of a load cycle. Programming is easy to achieve via the touch screen, which has guided prompts and can be operated in your choice of language.

Additionally, The AtlasTM Autotouch Presses can also be used to produce thin film substrates of polymers when used alongside a heated top plate, though this option is not available with the 40 T model.
