Description
High-Precision Thermoforming for Large and Thick Plastic Sheets
The Thick Plastic Sheet Vacuum Thermoforming Machine is designed for producing large, deep, and durable products from thick thermoplastic sheets.
The upper and lower mold platforms are driven through servo motors, reducers, and precision gear-transmission systems. This structure provides strong clamping force, accurate positioning, smooth movement, and stable operation. Multi-stage movement speeds and mold travel positions can be adjusted according to different product shapes, materials, and forming requirements.
The machine uses short-wave halogen instant heaters to provide fast and efficient sheet heating. Its PID intelligent temperature-control system includes automatic voltage regulation, helping maintain stable temperatures across the heating area and improve product consistency.
Production Process
The main production process includes:
Sheet loading → Controlled heating → Sheet anti-sag control → Bubble pre-stretching → Vacuum forming → Cooling → Product removal
The machine can be configured according to the required forming area, mold height, material, and finished-product design.
Key Features
Servo-Controlled Upper and Lower Molds
The upper and lower mold platforms use servo-driven gear transmission, providing accurate movement, powerful clamping, and stable forming performance.
Adjustable Multi-Stage Movement
Mold movement speed and travel positions can be freely adjusted to suit different forming depths, mold structures, and plastic materials.
High-Precision Gear and Guide System
High-rigidity gear guide columns help maintain accurate mold alignment and smooth operation during continuous production.
Short-Wave Halogen Heating
Imported short-wave halogen heaters provide rapid heating response and efficient heat transfer for thick plastic sheets.
Intelligent PID Temperature Control
The intelligent temperature-control system includes automatic voltage regulation for accurate and stable heating throughout the forming process.
Energy-Saving Performance
According to the catalog, the halogen heating system can reduce energy consumption by more than 40% compared with traditional ceramic heating systems under suitable operating conditions.
Sheet Anti-Sag Protection
The machine includes an anti-sag heating function to help control softened plastic sheets during the heating stage.
Bubble Pre-Stretching
The pre-stretching function improves material distribution before vacuum forming, supporting more uniform wall thickness in deep-formed products.
Automatic Furnace Retraction
When sheet sag reaches the preset limit, the heating furnace can automatically retract to help protect the material and machine.
PLC and Touchscreen Control
The complete machine is controlled by PLC and operated through a high-definition color touchscreen.
Process Parameter Memory
The control system can store up to 2,000 sets of process parameters, making it easier to reproduce settings for different products and molds.
Multiple Safety Protections
The machine incorporates closed-loop control and multiple safety-protection devices for reliable industrial operation.
