Integrated Mitsubishi PLC / HMI with 5 “color touch screen control system with 20 programmable pre-sets. The Formech 508 FS and FMDH660 are also stand-alone machines of smaller and larger size:ĥ “Color HMI / PLC Interface with memory function This machine is therefore a very easy and user-friendly machine with which you can quickly and easily start production of various plastic products. The Formech 686 is a vacuum forming machine that comes with an intuitive color touch screen interface control panel where also 20 programmable presets ensure that an ease-to-use machine can be used for different operators. This provides a very precise heat control and setting for consistent productions with high definition in the materials. The quartz heating elements ensure a very fast response that can be set with 6 independently adjustable zones. The Pre-stretch function that the Formech 686 has as standard provides a more distributed plastic material thickness for deep molds and the auto-level function sends a signal to the user when the material is ready to form. The 686 from Formech is equipped with an extra stable and weighted table for lighting all kinds of applications. The Formech 686 is used for small and large productions and for large objects can also be used for piece production to form various plastics. The machine has inserts for not using big sheets and wasting material.The Formech 686 is the medium size stand-alone machine for large draws of 646 x 620 x 325 mm. the save settings feature to set and record the values for later recall. Review the results and determine the parameters required to produce the forming. Release the clamp frame to remove the moulding for inspection.ħ.

Ensure the table has reached its lower position. Once released the moulding is now complete and the table may be lowered.

Too long or too soon a release may distort the moulding.Ħ. Once the plastic has cooled sufficiently the RELEASE button may be pressed to blow the moulding off the mould. The moulding will form around the tooling.ĥ. Then press the VACUUM button to latch on the vacuum. When the plastic softness is correct push back the heater fully back.Ĥ.

Continue heating until it is soft enough to form. Push the heater back slightly to test the softness of the plastic manually or to observe its state. When performing an initial forming it will be necessary to check the progress of heating as this will vary with plastic type, thickness and colour. It will then soften and begin to drop back.ģ. As the plastic heats up it may begin to rise slightly. Pull the Heater forwards over the clamped plastic.Ģ. The following section explains the 508DT vacuum forming process:ġ. This is a guide on how to use the machine. Published: November 14, 2018, Edited by: Sara Almeida Santos Daugbjerg Vacuum FormerĪt FABLAB RUC we have a Formech Vacuum Forming Machine 508DT.
