This machine is great for production runs as well as creating prototypes, props, trays, blisters, RC bodies, housings, holsters, etc. It can form any thermoplastic up to 0.250" thick and is suitable for both female and male tooling. The machine is constructed with high-strength custom engineering aluminum extrusion to ensure rigidity. The maximum forming area is 22" x 22" at each station and the maximum sheet size is 24" x 24 ". Our SBS series vacuum forming machines have been shipped worldwide to over 200 locations. All machines shipped after October 1, 2013 have incorporated two new features. Firstly, if the heaters are on for an hour without use, they will automatically shut off and can be turned back on by pressing the start button. Secondly, to minimise webbing at corners when running tall male molds, we have incorporated pulsating vacuum. This toggling valve allows you to control pulse duration, interval between pulses and number of pulses. This vacuum forming machine has three modes of operation: manual, set-up and automatic. The bottom platens have a stroke of 12", with fully adjustable speed controls and a length of travel. As an option, we offer a plug assist assembly with a stroke of 18". Manual clamping frames and infrared energy-efficient Ceran glass heater panels are included, with a heat density of 30 watts per square inch. The machine also has eight independently controlled heating zones and a PLC to provide a soft start. The vacuum system consists of a 1.2 HP Becker pump, 30-gallon steel accumulating tank and high flow-pilot operated 1" diameter vacuum valve. The machine comes with an operating manual, electrical schematics and parts list. We can wire the machine 240 volts single or 3 phase, or 480 volts 3 phase, so please let us know when ordering. The footprint of the machine is 100" x 60" and lead time is 3-4 weeks as each machine is built to order Each function of the machine is PLC controlled with an advanced, easy-to-use touch screen operator interface. The control system is able to store up to 30 different recipes, and the platens, as well as the clamping frames, are mounted on linear bearings that ride on hardened shafts. The cooling of material is provided by a 1 3250 CFM fan on each station.
