Sheet Processing Machines UA 101l, UA 151l, UA 201 l Process-controlled Machines

machines and optional extras for economical production are the result. is achieved and can be verified. Process data are stored and filed so they are easily available for repeat orders. Universal sheet processing machines provide considerably higher outputs and also product quality is noticeably improved thanks to optimized heating, forming and cooling processes. Materials processed on UA-l machines call for new technologies with respect to: Machine sequencing times Heating performance Cooling performance Improvement of part cooling. The potential provided by the machine technology is consistently...

Thermoforming without format sets UA 101l, UA 151l, UA 201l Sheet processing machines UA 101l, UA 151l, UA 201l Sheet loading devices BE 101l, BE151l, BE 201l Operating and heating technology Tool system Quick change technology Additional elements 2 3 Process optimization for more profitable production structure ensures that thermoforming can be performed almost without format sets. Profit maximization Pre-heating, off-station heating, minimization of production costs, increase in output and reduction of set-up times. All of the before mentioned elements help to meet the required demands at a...

Adjustable mold sub-structure The mold sub-structure is part of the machine just like clamping and holding frames. These are one-time format costs, thus production costs for tools are reduced. In the concept of the adjust - able mold sub-structure the forming tool is always positioned centrally in the machine. This also applies to pronounced linear expansion. 4 adjustable shoes fix and lock the forming tool on the mold sub-structure. For installation, the whole tool kit is moved onto the forming table, centered and clamped by vacuum. Optionally, the mold sub-structure is equipped with a universal...

4 5 Quick change of format parts – clamping frame, holding frame, transport automatically move to the new size Large adjustment range of sub-structure and clamping frame Reduction of cooling time by up to 40 % with air shower integrated in clamping frame Motor-driven heaters cause a reduced overcrossing effect and shorter sequencing times of the machine Automatic return of heaters in case of power loss This device for universal applications is completed by optional extras such as cooling blowers, loose parts control, corner blowing nozzles, temperature control and vacuum connection for vacuum...

Expansion levels of UA-l machines: Sheet P Sheet processing Sheet – roll PR Processing of sheet and roll material „Working from roll stock“ means processing of roll material or blanks. The blanks are cut fully automatically from the material roll by a cross cutter (optional extra) in the machine. To achieve highest cycle speeds blanks can also be pre-heated or heated up to forming temperature. 180 Cycles/h are realistic, subject to product and material Change of material A sheet carriage is available for sheet changes in UA-l machines. Sheets can be loaded outside and the carriage can be moved...

6 7 higher output by employing pre-heating and off-station heating technology in the sheet loading device UA 201l with BE sheet loading device connections for temperature control and pressure air The BE is equipped with upper and lower heater for the application „sheet heating in loading station“. The heating technology used here is identical to that of the forming machine. An adjustable, temperature controlled holding frame is available for pre-heating and off-station heating. As a result the clamping edges are less subject to necking during heating and the heated sheet can be transported into...

Benefits of Industrial PC (SIEMENS Panel PC) Newly developed machine control with soft PLC based on Windows* Screen operating panel with high-contrast, brighter TFT display for simplified operation and better legibility Computer-aided basic setting of machine setting data with expanded optimization of machine sequencing The functions pre-blowing, pre-suction, pre-vacuum, forming vacuum, demolding as well as heating times can be programmed by teach-in. If the operator intervenes via soft-key buttons the Improved operator guidance during automatic tool installation and removal with possibility...

Temperature controlled heaters for optimum production parameters The heaters are equipped with high-temperature ceramic heater elements (HTS). They are hollow, thermo-insulated and very efficient. Heating properties are universal, i.e. pre-printed materials, too, can be uniformly heated. The heating times required are not subject to the color of the material. For high efficiency the radiation surface is closed. This ensures good heating results for every clamping frame size up to the edge area. Upper and lower heater with joystick zoning of the heating area are part of the basic equipment. This...

Heating options Individual productrelated heating patterns for highest demands by multiple-position switching Multiple-position switching for upper heater and joystick zoning for lower heater Multiple-position switching for upper and lower heater Vacuum device on upper table An additional vacuum device is available to be employed for special forming applications or twin-sheet forming. Cooling blower Cooling blowers with reinforced performance generate high air speeds, water spraying nozzles are no longer required. This, together with the air shower integrated in the clamping frame, results in...
