The Sibe Automation Vacuum Forming Machine 24"x24" Double Ender Infrared Heaters is a top-of-the-line product that has been shipped to over 200 locations worldwide. All machines shipped after October 1, 2013 come with two new features that enhance usability: 1) the heaters automatically shut off after an hour of non-use but start back up with a push of the start button, and 2) the pulsating vacuum helps reduce webbing when running tall male molds. This machine is ideal for production runs, prototypes, props, trays, blisters, RC bodies, housings, holsters, and more. It can form any thermoplastic up to 0.250" thick and can handle both female and male tooling. This machine's high-strength, custom-engineered aluminum extrusion construction ensures rigidity, while the maximum forming area of 22"x22" in each station and maximum sheet size of 24"x24" enable flexibility. The vacuum system includes a 1.2 HP Becker pump, 30-gallon steel accumulating tank, high flow-pilot operated 1" diameter vacuum valve, and operating manuals, electrical schematics, parts lists. The machine can be wired for 240 volts single or 3 phase or 480 volts 3 phase, and its footprint is 100"x60". Built to order and with a lead time of 3-4 weeks, each Sibe Automation Vacuum Forming Machine is covered by a 12-month warranty on all parts. For information, call This machine features three modes of operation: manual-set up-automatic, with bottom platens that have a stroke of 12" and fully adjustable speed controls and length of travel. As an option, a plug assist assembly with a stroke of 18" is available, along with manual clamping frames and infrared energy efficient ceran glass heaters panels with top-only and bottom brushed aluminum reflector. The machine's heat density of 30 watts per square inch is supported by a PLC that provides soft start and four independently controlled heating zones driven by solid-state relays. Every function of the machine is PLC controlled with an advanced easy-to-use touch screen operator interface, and the control system can store up to 30 different recipes. Additionally, the platens and clamping frames are mounted on linear bearings that ride on hardened shafts, while cooling of material is provided by one 3250 CFM fan on each station.
