SERIA SMARTLINE ASFS / QUICKLINE

Main scope of activity of TOOLS FACTORY is designing and producing of machines and equipment for processing and treatment of plastics. TOOLS FACTORY is the leader in Central and Eastern Europe in production of machines for thermoforming and vacuum forming (thermoforming machines). The company’s product range comprises : Thermoforming machines for processing of plastics, designed for manual loading Thermoforming machines for processing of plastics from roll Thermoforming machines with automatic feeding system of plastic sheets and automatic unloading of moldings The produced by TOOLS FACTORY machines stand out with many innovative and modern solutions: ● automatic diagnostics of each heater and the most important components of the machine, ● built-in industrial router with remote access to the device, allowing to carry out diagnostics, performing remote service, fixing errors, improving and optimizing the code of recipes, changing the appearance of the HMI panel and adding new functions, ● automatic adjustment of the dimensions of the forming field from the operator panel (infinitely adjustable bottom plate), ● automatic adjustment of the size of the clamping frame (upper frame), ● percentage regulation of heating each heating elements ● automatic control of the heating and cooling process of the material through the use of modern pyrometers for non-contact temperature measurement. Each machine can be designed and adapted to the requirements of the customer and his product, i.e.:

• use of pneumatic components as well as electric servo drives,
• the heating medium in thermoformers can be realized by using halogen, ceramic or quartz radiators,
• the design of the device enables retrofitting it with plug assist where the vertical movement is carried out through an electric servo drive,
• in order to accelerate the cooling process, it is possible to install a central cooling system with directional jets.

An additional element of the thermoforming machine in this configuration is a device that works with a thermoforming machine designed to load the material onto the working window and unload the finished product called automatic feeding system (sheet loader and reciver). The drive of the feeder subassemblies is transmitted by means of four servomotors of the feed table, the puscher servo drive, the servo drive of the unloading and loading frame of the feeder and two motors of the automatic centering system. Unloading of the finished part takes place simultaneously when loading the sheet. The clamping frame after the forming process lifts the finished product with pneumatic bolts above the level and transfers it to the unloading and loading frame of the feeder. The device which cooperates with the feeder is also the centering system to which the positioning of the pallet with thermoforming material belongs. The feeder optionally has installed air swords designed to separate the plastic sheets together (the risk of sticking to the pallet), as well as ionizing nozzles used to neutralize electrostatic charges. Optionally, it is possible to equip the machine with a double-forming system – a system that allows the forming of two details in one cycle on two independent material sheets.
