Features of the HD1000c-T

Quartz Heating with Variable Standby
Quartz heaters offer the advantage of fast response and high efficiency, resulting in time and energy savings.

Vacuum and Pressure Gauges
Visual indication of the applied vacuum andd pressure (display in Hg / bar).

FCV (Formech Cycle View) with 40 Progam Memories
The Machine cycle status is visible at a glance. ALl parameters can be adjusted in real-time without interrupting the ongoing cycle.

Pre-stretch
Pre-stretch allows air to be pumpe into the stretched sheet material, creating an air bubble that prevents the material from thinning when using deep molds.

Twin Cooling Fans
Two cooling fans provide rapid cooling of the formed material, thereby reducing the cycle time.

Pneumatic Table with Speed Controller
The tooling table is raisedd quickly and precisely, enabling effortless operation even with heavy molds.

Pneumatic Drive for the Heating
Heavy-duty, pneumatically driven movement of the heater for fasst and precise positioning; the built-in braking system prevents damage to the heating elements.

Multi-user PIN Aces Control
The supervisor can set and manage acces rights for different operators.

Safety Light Curtain
Protects the user from injury by immediately stopping all mechanical actions when the light curtain is interrupted.

Digitally Controlled Flow Control Valve – Vacuum
Regulated the vacuum flow via the HMI interface. The digital valve allows precise and reproducible settings, which are automatically saved within the program, unlike manual control knobs.

Digitally Controlled Flow Control Valve – Pre-stretch & Auto Level

Oil-filled Rotary Vane Pumip 18 m³/h
Reliable vacuum pump for consistent performance in industrial applications.

Vacuum and Release
After the formed part has cooled, air is blown between the mold and the sheet material to facilitate release.

PLC Control with 10″ High-Resolution Touchscreen
Advanced control through an intuitive color touchscreen for easy and precise operation.

Double Heating with Independently Controllable Heating Zones (16 Top + 16 Bottom)
Provides fast heat response and offers a wider range of control to form challenging shapes and materials.

Auto-level
Prevents sagging of the material during the heating cycle and maintains a constant distance between the heater and the sheet, while giving an audible indication that the material is ready to be formed.

Vacuum Reciever Tank
Storage tank for vacuum that proides instant available vacuum for faster cycle times and demanding materials.

Heating Pyrometer
Sensor that provides accurate temperature feedback of the sheet material and automatically initiates release once the target temperature is reaced.

Pneumatically Driven Clamping System (Vertical)
Pneumatically driven clamping system that enables powerful and effortless operations.

Safety Interlock Override for Heating/Table Lock
Ability to bypass safety interlocks of the heating and table when necessarry for special applications or maintenance.

Digitally Controlled Flow Control Valce – Pneumatic Table
Precise digital control of the table’s speed and movement via the HMI

Digitally Controlled Flow Control Valve – Release
Digital control of the airflow for releasing the formed part, ensuring consistent and controlled results.
