Formech HD1000

First introduced in 2002, Formech’s HD range established a new price-performance ratio for automatic production class machines. Efficient heat management, ease of use, compact footprint and accessible price are instrumental to the internationally successful HD range as trusted by many world-class companies. Series 2 advancements include ‘FCV’ (Formech Cycle View) control interface with 10″ high resolution touch-screen.

Machine cycle status is clearly visible at a glance and all parameters can be adjusted in real time without interrupting the current cycle. By working closely with HD customers all over the world Formech has developed an intuitive, graphically driven interface suitable for operators of all experience levels.

Generous standard specification and an extensive range of options including twin heaters for the most demanding materials mark the HD Series 2 as a cost effective and highly adaptable machine range. Apple Inc., Nestle and Cambridge University are amongst the first customers to benefit from Formech’s HD Series 2.

Wago control system with 10" colour touch screen, real time adjustments, 1% heater increment control, Formech Cycle View and 40 preset memories.

Quartz Heaters with Variable Standby

Quartz heaters have the benefit of a rapid response and high efficiency resulting in time and energy savings.

20 Independently Controllable Heating Zones

Twenty heating zones provide rapid heat response with a greater range of control to form challenging shapes and materials.

Pneumatic Heater Drive

Heavy duty pneumatically powered heater travel provides precise and rapid heater deployment, whilst braking prevents element damage.

Pneumatically Powered Clamping Frame

Pneumatically powered clamping system that provides powerful and effortless control.

Pneumatic Table with Regulator

Precise table speed control.

Table Height Adjust

Table height adjust shortens the tool table travel when using shallow tools and reduces cycle time.

Pre-Stretch

Pre-stretch enables the user to pump air into the heated sheet, creating a bubble to avoid thinning of material with deeper tools.

Auto-Level

Avoids material sag during the heating cycle and maintains an even distance between heater and sheet whilst providing the user with an audible indication the material is ready to form.

Vacuum Flow Regulator

Precisely regulates vacuum flow rate when a greater level of control is required with demanding applications.

Vacuum Receiver Tank

A vacuum tank that provides instant stored vacuum, for high demanding materials and shortening cycle times.

Vacuum & Pressure Gauges

A visual indication of consistent vacuum and pressure being applied (pressure in Hg / bar).

Safety Light Curtain

Protects users from accidental injury by halting all mechanical actions when light curtain is broken.

Twin Cooling Fan System

Overhead gantry and twin 550W fans to cool formed material and shorten cycles times.
