7″ Colour HMI/PLC featuring Formech Cycle View (FCV)
Wago control system with 7″ colour touch screen, real time adjustments, 1% heater increment control, Formech Cycle View and 40 preset memories.
Quartz Heaters with Variable Standby
Quartz heaters have the benefit of a rapid response and high efficiency resulting in time and energy savings.
15 Independently Controllable Heating Zones
Fifteen heating zones and quartz heaters provide rapid heat response with a greater range of control to form challenging shapes and materials
Power Table
Lifts tool table quickly and precisely making effortless operation, even with heavy tools. Twin controls avoid accidental activation.
Table Height Adjust
Table height adjust shortens the tool table travel when using shallow tools and reduces cycle time.
Pre-Stretch
Pre-stretch enables the user to pump air into the heated sheet, creating a bubble to avoid thinning of material with deeper tools.
Auto-Level
Avoids material sag during the heating cycle and maintains an even distance between heater and sheet whilst providing the user with an audible indication the material is ready to form.
Vacuum & Pressure Gauges
A visual indication of consistent vacuum and pressure being applied (pressure in Hg / bar).
Dry rotary vane pump 25m3 / hr
Oil free and requires minimal maintenance
Vacuum Flow Regulator
Precisely regulates vacuum flow rate when a greater level of control is required with demanding applications.
Pneumatic Trigger Clamps
Pneumatically powered clamping system that provides powerful and effortless control.
Multi User Pin Access Control
The supervisor of the machine can choose and determine a level of access for the different operators.
