Roll-Fed

Thin Gauge
Roll-Fed Forming.

The AM Series is a semi-automatic, simple to use roll-fed forming machine. Material is indexed from the heating oven into the forming station using a spike chain. Available in two variants: AM-V (vacuum only) and AM-P (air pressure up to 6 bar). The forming press is air cylinder pneumatic driven with a platen size of 500 x 600 mm. Once the shot is formed it is cut using a pneumatic shot cutter.

Two Variants

AM-V — Vacuum Only

Uses only vacuum to produce parts. Single heating oven on top side with IR lamps. Pneumatic driven forming press. Ideal for sub-contractors and OEMs producing simple vacuum formed parts from roll stock.

AM-P — Pressure Forming (up to 6 bar)

Uses air pressure up to 6 bar for deeper draws and finer detail. Air cylinder pneumatic driven press. Up to 10 cycles/min. Recommended for packaging applications requiring tight tolerances and sharp surface definition.

Configuration Options

Three factory-fit options available when ordering your AM Series machine.

⚙️
Optional Add-On

Inline Punching Station

Separates individual formed cavities directly on the machine after forming. Eliminates the need for a separate offline punch press — ideal for packaging trays and containers that need to be separated before stacking.

🌡️
Single / Double / Triple

Heater Pitch

Controls the length of the heating oven. Single pitch for thin gauge (0.2–1.0 mm). Double pitch for medium gauge (1.0–1.5 mm). Triple pitch for thicker gauge (1.5–2.0 mm) or high-speed production requiring deep, uniform heat penetration.

🔗
Standard / Duplex

Chain Type

Standard Spike Chain handles thin to medium gauge roll materials up to ~1.2 mm. Duplex Spike Chain uses a double-row spike configuration for stronger grip on thicker, heavier roll materials — recommended for materials above 1.2 mm.

Machine Features

AM-V — Vacuum Only

Uses only vacuum to produce parts. Single heating oven on top side with IR lamps. Pneumatic driven forming press. Ideal for sub-contractors and OEMs producing simple vacuum formed parts from roll stock.

AM-P — Pressure Forming (up to 6 bar)

Uses air pressure up to 6 bar for deeper draws and finer detail. Air cylinder pneumatic driven press. Up to 10 cycles/min.

Spike Chain Indexing

Material is indexed from the heating oven into the forming station using a spike chain for precise, continuous sheet feeding.

Automatic Shot Cutting

Pneumatic shot cutter at exit. Each cavitation is separated using a separate hydraulic press as an off-line process.

PLC Control with HMI

Recipe storage and recall, production monitoring, diagnostics, safety interlocks and emergency stops.

What Can You Make

Thin-gauge thermoformed packaging made on AM Series: deep draw containers, electronics trays, medical device trays
Thin-Gauge Packaging — Electronics, Medical, Industrial, Food
  • Thin gauge packaging trays & containers
  • Deep draw containers and trays
  • Electronics packaging and inserts
  • Medical device packaging
  • Industrial component trays
  • 3D car mat production (AM-V with plug assist)

Car Mat Production Option

The AM-V Series can be configured for 3D car mat production by doubling the heater length for deeper, more uniform heat penetration into thicker TPO/PP sheets, and adding a plug assist feature for precise deep-draw forming of textured mat profiles.
