Drive solutions for thermoforming machines

Automation & technology functions

• Exact and dynamic temperature control of the heating elements helps to save energy
• Cam disk technology, e.g. in the lift drive, avoids erratic movements, and ensures optimized movement sequences
• Optional: touch probe for fast reading of synchronization markings, and therefore for exact cutting to size of material

Motors

• Extremely robust motors for high shock and vibration loads in swivel, lift or advancer drives, among other things due to special bearing and casting technology
• Motors with excellent acceleration properties for high cycle rates

Servo drives

Clever drive topology by using the DC link system:

• Storage of energy in the DC link or in additional capacities to provide energy again when it is needed t higher energy efficiency with lower energy costs
• The electrical drive output can therefore be dimensioned to be smaller and more economical if necessary
• Due to the energy stored in the DC link, controlled shutdown of the system in the event of faults is possible, e.g. in case of power outages
• Compact modular system saves space in the control cabinet
