All features on the Formecht TF1050

Ceramic Heating Elements
Ceramic heating elements are ideally suited for high-volume production where heaters operate for long periods and a constnt temperature must be maintained.

Vacuum & Pressure Gauges

Visual indication of consistent vacuum and pressure being applied (pressure in Hg / bar)

FCV (Formech Cycle View) with 40 program memories
Machine cycle status is clearly visible at a glance and all parameters can be adjusted in real time without interrupting the current cycle.

Reel material holder
Assembly to hold reel materials securely in place.

Auto-level

Prevents material sagging during the heating cycle and maintains an even distance between heater and sheet, while providing an audible alert when the material is ready to form.

Vacuum recieer tank

Heating Pyrometer
Sensor that provides accurate sheet temperature feedback and automatically initiates mould release once the target temperature is reached.

Table Height Adjustment
Adjusting the table height shortens the tool table travel when using shallow tools, reducing cycle time.

Pneumaticallty power clamping frame (hinged)
Pneumatically powered clamping system that provides and effortless control

Plug assist with speed regulator
Pneumatically powered plug assist forces the heated material into tool cavities to increase material thickness at the bottom of the cavities

Illuminated View Windows
Illuminated inspection windows for visual monitoring during the forming process.

Digitally Controlled flow valve – Pre-Stretch & Auto-Level
Accurate digital control of airflow for pre-stretch and auto-level functions via the HMI interface.

Oil-Filled Rotary vane Pump 40 m³/h
Reliable high-capacity vacuum pump for consistent performance in industrial applications

Digitally controlled flow valve – vacuum
Controls vacuum flow via software through the HMI interface. The digitally controlled valve allows precise and repeatable settings that are automatically saved with the program, unlike manual control knobs.

Vacuum & release
After the formed part has cooled, air is foreced between the mould and sheet to facilitate release.

PLC Control with 10″ High-Resolution Touchscreen

20 independently Controllable Heating zones
Provide rapid heat response and a wider range of control to accurately form complex shapes and materials.

Pre-stretch
Allows air to be pumped into the heated sheet, creating a bubble to prevent material thinning with deep tools.

Twin cooling fans
Accelerate cooling of the formed material and shorten cycle times.

Pneumatic Table with speed regulator
Raises the tool table quickly and precisely for effortless operation, even with heavy tools.

Pneumatic Heater Drive
Raises the tool table quickly and precisely for effortless operation, even with heavy tools.

Multi-User Pin acces Control

Safety Light Curtain

Heater/Table Interlock Override

Digitally Controlled Flow Valve – Pneumatic Table

Digitally Controlled Flow valve –  Release

Cooling Pyrometer
Sensor that provides accurate sheet temperature feedback and automatically initiates mould release once the target temperature is reached.

12 Month Warranty
A 12-month warranty is included as standard with all Formech machines

Options for the Formech TF1050

Negative Gate for Formech TF1050

Spray Mist for Formech TF1050
Spray mist is combined with the cooling fan system (if fitted) to shorten cooling time.

Servo Plug Assist for Formech TF1050
Instead of pneumatics, the servo plug assist provides variable positioning and damping of the plug movement for precise control.

Spare Parts Kit for Formech TF1050
A consumable parts kit typically including seals, elements, filters, fuses, etc.

Servo Table for Formech TF1050
This feature offers the same accuracy and control as the servo electric plug assist, enabling consistent speed and movement control to the millimetre.

Formech RP1200 Roller Press

Reducing Windows for Formech TF1050 (Custom Size)
Reduces the forming area to use smaller sheets of material and minimize waste. Contact us for a quote.

Cooling Bolster for Formech TF1050
A water-cooled plate that directly cools and regulates aluminium tool temperature for consistency and faster cycle times. Note: this option requires an external chiller.

FA Remote Connectivity (FRC)
Allows the operator to remotely access the machine control system and download programs.

Cooling Pyrometer for Formech TF1050
Sensor that provides accurate sheet temperature feedback and automatically initiates mould release once the target temperature is reached.

Twin Heater Option for Formech TF1050
10 additional zones (bottom heater).
