Cut Sheet Single Station Machine

PF1 Series

Closed Chamber Design | Tailor Made | Automation Options

Machinecraft is a specialist for manufacturing of custom built single station thermoforming machines with the European concept of closed chamber design to allow pre-blow bubble & zero sag control of thermoplastic sheets by blowing pulsating air in the air-sealed chamber - useful for getting close to an even final part thickness using the thermoforming process. Machines can vary from compact size 800x1000 mm upto XXL size of 5000x2500 mm. Machines can have automation options like sheet feeder or universal frames.

PF1 Series Single Station Thermoforming Machines

MACHINE FEATURES

  • Air-tight sealed closed chamber design to allow height adjustable pre-blow bubble & zero sag control of thermoplastic sheets by blowing pulsating air & controlling using light sensors - useful for getting close to an even final part thickness using the thermoforming process

  • Parametric machine design - based on customer specification sheet

  • Strong machine design - use of higher safety factor when it comes to selection of racks, linear guides, plates and other mechanical items on the machine for long life of the machine

  • Electrical panel designed with CE / UL guidelines and use of all components that are CE / UL certified

  • 2-level safety in machine design - electric + pneumatic locking for all machine movements, light guards, safety locks, interlocks

  • Automation options like Automatic sheet loader & formed part unloader, Roll feeder, Universal frames for automatic aperture setting, Quick tool loading & clamping

  • Machine movements option of all electric servo motor driven

  • Unique chain type system for machine movements - easy to maintain if anything goes wrong - the sheet is not always the same - so sometimes things can go wrong and our system will be easy to get it back to running mode

  • Heater Oven Design - use of IR ceramic / quartz / flash elements - “Zone Control” or Individual heater control with sheet temperature detection using IR probe

  • HMI Design with operator in mind to allow setting of all parameters easily
