Key Features

  • Safety Interlock — Mechanical interlock prevents table being raised whilst heaters are in forward position (all desktop machines).
  • 20 Program Memory — 20 nameable memory presets enable convenient recall of settings for each application.
  • PLC Control with 4" mono touch screen
  • Vacuum & release - After the formed part has cooled, air is forced between the mould and the sheet to help it release.
  • Vacuum Gauge — A visual indication of consistent vacuum pressure being applied (pressure in Hg / bar).
  • 4 independently controllable heating zones — Quartz heaters with variable standby. Provide rapid heat response with a greater range of control to form challenging shapes and materials.
