One Machine.
Form, Cut & Stack In-Line.
The FCS Series is a high-speed, fully automatic roll-fed form-cut-stack thermoforming machine designed for 24/7 production environments. It integrates forming, steel-rule cutting, and stacking into a single continuous line, delivering consistent output, minimal downtime, and rapid changeovers. Available in two variants — FCS-0507-V (vacuum forming, pneumatic press) and FCS-0507-P (vacuum + pressure forming, servo press) — both sharing a 550×700 mm forming area, 125 mm maximum product depth, and Mitsubishi servo chain indexing. Ideal for food trays, bakery containers, dairy cups, fruit punnets, and rigid packaging applications.

Which Variant Is Right for You?
Both FCS-0507 models share the same forming area, punch force, and chain indexing. The key differences are forming method, press drive, heater capacity, and power consumption.
FCS-0507-V
Entry-level FCS with pneumatic press and vacuum-only forming. Ideal for standard food trays, dairy cups, and general packaging where surface detail requirements are moderate.
| Forming Method | Vacuum only |
| Press Drive | Pneumatic (4× tie rods) |
| Heater Zones | 32 zones (1200 × 750 mm) |
| Total Power | 95 KW |
| Machine Footprint | ∼12 m |
Best for: food trays, dairy cups, standard packaging
FCS-0507-P
Advanced FCS with dual servo press and vacuum+pressure forming. Delivers sharper surface detail, deeper draws, and higher part quality — suited for medical, cosmetic, and premium food packaging.
| Forming Method | Vacuum + Pressure |
| Press Drive | Dual Servo (upper + lower) |
| Heater Zones | 48 zones (2400 × 750 mm) |
| Total Power | 180 KW |
| Machine Footprint | ∼16 m |
Best for: medical trays, cosmetic packaging, premium food, deep-draw parts
Both models share: 550 × 700 mm forming area · 125 mm max product depth · 60-ton punch force · 15 cycles/min · Mitsubishi PLC · servo chain indexing
What Are the FCS Series Technical Specifications?
Two variants — FCS-0507-V (vacuum, pneumatic press) and FCS-0507-P (vacuum + pressure, servo press). Both share 550 × 700 mm forming area and 60-ton punch force. Optional 4th station for inline holing available on both.

What Are the Key Features of the FCS Series?
Integrated Form-Cut-Stack
Forming, steel-rule cutting, and stacking in a single continuous line — from roll to finished stacked parts. Eliminates offline cutting for maximum throughput.
Servo Spike Chain Indexing
Duplex 1/2-inch chain driven by a 3.5 KW Mitsubishi servo motor. Water-cooled in the heating area. Adjustable width using hand wrench at entry and exit.
Sandwich IR Heating
Top and bottom IR ceramic heating ovens with independent zone control via HMI. FCS-0507-V: 32 zones over 1200×750 mm. FCS-0507-P: 48 zones over 2400×750 mm for extended heating.
Servo Punching Station
Individual 3.5 KW servo motors drive both upper and lower cutting platens. 60-ton clamp force, 150 mm motion distance each platen. Pneumatic tool fixing and XY die adjustment via hand levers.
Stacking & Scrap Winding
Servo-driven stacking frame picks cut parts and stacks on conveyor to a defined height (up to 200 mm). Asynchronous scrap winder with electronic torque control and pneumatic scrap discharge.
Mitsubishi Controls
Mitsubishi Electric PLC and HMI (Japan). Servo motors and drives by Mitsubishi. Pneumatics by FESTO/SMC. Safety interlocks by Schmersal. Linear guides by THK/HIWIN.
Optional 4th Station
Add an inline holing station for drainage holes, ventilation slots, or perforations directly in the production line — no separate offline process required.

How Is the FCS-0607 Built for 24/7 Production Lines?
The FCS-0607 is engineered for continuous high-volume thermoforming operations where uptime, repeatability, and low cost-per-part are critical. Every station is designed for rapid changeover and minimal operator intervention.
Servo-Driven Robotic Stacker
The FCS-0607 robotic stacking option uses a servo-driven pick-and-place unit with a cable chain energy supply and vacuum gripper plate to precisely stack formed parts — cups, trays, lids — directly off the cutting station. Eliminates manual stacking, reduces labour cost, and ensures consistent stack counts for downstream packaging.

Rapid Changeover
Typical changeover
Quick-change tooling across forming, cutting, and stacking stations. Minimise downtime between product runs with recipe-based setup recall from the HMI.
Energy Efficient Heating
Heater ovens
Sandwich-style IR ceramic heaters with individual element PID control deliver heat only where needed. Reduced energy consumption compared to full-panel heaters.
Consistent Part Quality
Indexing accuracy
Servo-driven forming and cutting presses with programmable stroke profiles ensure identical force application cycle after cycle — critical for medical and food-grade packaging.
Minimal Scrap
Typical trim waste
Motorised XY fine alignment on the cutting station ensures equal trim on all sides. Heated punching option for PET eliminates micro-cracking and edge defects.
Flexible Output
Station config
Three stacking modes (up, down, robotic) and optional 4th station for holing. One machine handles trays, lids, cups, clamshells, and blister packs without line reconfiguration.
Robust Construction
Duty cycle
Heavy-duty welded steel frame with precision-machined platens. Designed for tropical factory environments with dust-sealed electrical cabinets and corrosion-resistant finishes.
