How Is the UNO-810 Built for Precision & Reliability?
Closed-Chamber Forming
Full enclosure minimises heat loss, ensures uniform vacuum distribution, and reduces external air disturbance. Enables preblow bubble for male tools and sheet sag control.
Closed Chamber — Internal View
Static S-Frame Clamping
Steel-welded bottom frame manually bolted to the platen. Top frame clamped with rubber lip for an airtight seal. Full-size frame set included; custom sizes available.
Formed Part Quality
Classic Tool Table
Manual bolt-locking tool table with 1-tonne lifting capacity. Pneumatic air cylinder drives the bottom platen with limit switches for precise PLC feedback.
Bottom Tool Table — Manual Bolting
How Does the UNO-810 Heating and Cooling System Work?
IR Ceramic Heater (Top Only)
- →Independently controlled top-side ceramic IR heater
- →Zone-wise heating with recipe presets for different materials
- →Excellent long-wave IR output — ideal for ABS, HDPE, PP thick sheets
- →Stable and consistent heat — less prone to overshoot
- →Low cost, long lifespan, rugged construction (Stella elements)
Centrifugal Fan Cooling (4×)
- →4× centrifugal side blowers for rapid part cooling
- →Maintains part stability and reduces warpage
- →Optimises cycle times for large-format thick-gauge forming
- →Air-ejection system assists clean part release after forming
How Does the UNO-810 Mitsubishi PLC + Smart HMI Control System Work?
Mitsubishi PLC Core
All machine functions — heating, clamping, table motion, vacuum, safety interlocks — governed by a high-speed Mitsubishi PLC with servo integration.
7" HMI Touchscreen
Multi-level password protection (Operator / Engineer / Manager), recipe storage on SD card, real-time heater bank and I/O visualisation.
Smart Diagnostics
Built-in alarm logs, maintenance prompts, and fault diagnosis. Widely supported across Asia, Europe, and North America.
FRL Pneumatic Backbone
High-quality Filter-Regulator-Lubricator unit filters moisture, regulates to 6 bar, and lubricates the pneumatic circuit for extended component life.
