Pos. 1: Loading table.

On the loading table the sheet that needs to be molded is positioned. The sheet can be:

• loaded manually
• loaded and positioned automatically with a handling with sheets from a stack
• unwind from a roll to a set length, cut and positioned

Pos. 2: Heating station

The heating station heats up the sheet:

• only from one side (top or bottom)
• from both sides (top and bottom)

Different heating stations are available:

• IR-Heating field
• Hot-air-oven
• Contact heating press

Pos. 3: Molding press

In the molding press there is a molding tool installed with a top and a bottom half. In general there are two types of molding presses:

• single acting press (top or bottom plate is movable)
• double acting press (top and bottom plates are moveable)

The following parameters of a press are important:

• press force
• press area
• press stroke

During molding the sheet must be fixed at the sides and there are the following options:

• Needle frame in combination with a simple transport system
• Grippers fixed on the tool in combination with a simple transport system
• Aktive clamps on the transport system

Transport system

The transport system moves the sheet from one station to the other. It consists a gripper bar or special clamps.
