Formech 686 vacuum former
In addition to the auto-level and pre-stretch features, Formech 686 features a power table and a coloured PLC screen, making it the most ergonomic of all manual machines. This machine is also available as a single-phase electrical version.
Driving Signage To New Heights
Featuring a power table, Formech’s 686 makes light work of the most demanding applications. Pre-stretch provides a more uniform material thickness for deep moulds whilst autolevel signals to the user the material is ready to form.
Rapid response quartz heaters with 6 independently controllable zones provides accurate heat control for consistent, high definition results. Intuitive colour touch screen interface and 20 nameable presets provide ultimate user convenience and ease of use.

5″ Colour HMI /PLC Interface with Memory Function
Mitsubishi integrated PLC/HMI with 5″ colour touch screen control and 20 programmable presets.
Quartz Heaters with Variable Standby
Quartz heaters have the benefit of a rapid response and high efficiency resulting in time and energy savings.
6 Independently Controllable Heating Zones
Six 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.
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 Gauge
A visual indication of consistent vacuum pressure being applied (pressure in Hg / bar).
Dry rotary vane pump 16m3 / 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.
