Thermoforming machines and Ancillaries

ATEM thermoforming machines allow to produce, with low energy consumption and low consumption of raw materials, top quality items for various sectors: sky-lights, bath tubs and sanitaries, automotive components, aircrafts components, components for railway carriages, cabinets and doors of refrigerators and other components for home appliances, luggages, furniture, advertising boards, helmets, pallets and many other products, from the simplest till the most complex shapes.

From the control PC of the thermoforming machine You can easily set, store and control the working parameters of each thermoformed product. A special electronic system of ATEM thermoforming machines allows You to precisely and differentiately regulate heating in each point of the thermoplastic foil, allowing to always get from thermoforming machine the best thicknesses distribution in the formed piece, without being compelled to utilize excessive thicknesses of raw materials. An exclusive self-diagnosis system of ATEM thermoforming machines constantly controls the functioning of the thermoforming machine components, advising of any misfunctioning and supplying detailed instructions to easily solve problems.

Besides the serial devices of ATEM thermoforming machines which facilitate the production change over operations (i.e. extractable mould-holding plate), even special automatic systems are optionally available for ATEM thermoforming machines in order to execute in very few minutes the mould change and the self-adjustment of all the machine parts according the different sizes to be processed. Other optional devices are available for ATEM thermoforming machines in order to adapt machines to any special production needs.

Thermoforming machines of MODULAR RAPID PRESSFORM series are single station hydraulic thermoforming machines, manually loaded/unloaded, available with different forming dimensions starting from heated surface of mm 2000x1000. Each model of these thermoforming machines can thermoform both in positive (utilizing male moulds), both in negative (utilizing female moulds) up to height/depth mm 690. It can optionally be fitted a manipulator connected to the thermoforming machine for the automatic sheet loading and the automatic unloading of the formed piece.
For very high production capacity, ATEM produces the fully automatic in line thermoforming machines of LINEAL PRESSFROM series.

The special structure of thermoforming machines MODULAR RAPID PRESSFORM and the high thrust forces of these thermoforming machines tables driven by powerful hydraulic cylinders allow these thermoforming machines to thermoform by utilizing, besides vacuum, also compressed air up to 18 bar pressure and/or mechanical compression.

Examples of fields of utilization of these thermoforming machines:

• Thermoforming of thermoplastic materials particularly hard to be formed even when they are softened by heating;
• Thermoforming and coupling by means of mechanical compression of different types of thermoplastic materials or of thermoplastic materials together with other types of materials like fabrics or materials for aesthetic/protective coatings, etc. (example super light internal automotive components for automotive field, for aircrafts, for railway carriages coated with textures or with “soft-touch-type” materials);
• Thermoforming of products which request sharp edges or surface hard coining (for example, lamp-screens with diamonds-points looking surfaces).
