Thermoforming Machine

Machine functions are controlled by 4-axis position controlled PLC operating system
Clamping forces range from 30 to 40 tonnes
Mould closing unit is based on a 5 point toggle lever mechanism with closed lubrication system. A servo motor with gear operates the toggle lever to offer platen speeds of more than 500mm sec. This translates into fast and highly dynamic process movements and short dry cycle times.
The moving mould platen is supported by high precision linear guides
Each axis is close loop controlled and can be activated simultaneously
Main drive servo motor comes with high speed emergency stop. It also has a mechanism to warn if the machine encounters a dangerous operating condition
Machine is offered with 18 different speeds
