Recognising that many customers are new to vacuum forming or have varying operator experience, we've designed our control systems to be exceptionally intuitive. Multi-level PIN access ensures safe operation and prevents costly errors, allowing your team to focus on maximising productivity.

Customised Solution Case Study

One Formech customer, producing products for the medical field, requested a custom-made vacuum forming machined based on our HD686 model.

For hygiene reasons, and corrosion resistance, the upper section of the machine, and forming area was mainly constructed using stainless steel. Also, all the pneumatic control valves and cylinders were changed to stainless steel housings.

However, one of the key requirements of the machine was the need to control the heat output. Working with the customer a modified heater layout was agreed. In turn, each individual element was fitted with a thermocouple for full feedback control to allow a target temperature to be set and accurately maintained.
