Starview Electra Automatic Vacuum Forming Machine

Starview Electra OMG Automatic Vacuum Forming Machine

The Electra vacuum and pressure automatic thermoforming machine is built for average and high production levels. The Electra is equipped with an innovative cutting system and the press is operated by a patented system that totally excludes the oleodynamic circuits.

The basic components of the infeed are a product feeding conveyor, an accumulating conveyor, and a specialized right-angle inserting unit for feeding the grouping of products into the sealing areas. Available accessories include right-angle transfer mechanisms, product up-enders, product up-stackers, and special product- accumulating conveyors.

Details of the Electra

An auto-loading reel trolley system allows large and heavy reels to be loaded without using forklifts, mandrels, or self-centering cones.
A touch screen monitor facilitates reviewing of all machine operations, allows intervening in the cycle specifications, and allows repetition of similar operations.
Transportation of the film is carried out using a high resistance chain system. Precise, high speed chain movement is directed by a brushless servomotor.
A contact pre-heating plier system enables work on very thick materials.
Radiant panels maintain an advanced position to consistantly heat materials on both sides. Temperature precision is maintained by automatic thermocouples.
The molding station is comprised of two mobile platforms that are moved by a brushless servomotor screw system assembled in a column. This system rotates 180 degrees allowing molds to be mounted and extracted outside of the machine.
High closing power is acheived with a four column press comprised of two independent mobile platforms that are activated by a re-circulating ball screw system and brushless servomotors.
Determined by the height of the thermoformed products, the cutting device platform return stroke is regulated and recorded. This system is controlled via touch screen monitor.
An efficient stacking and counting mechanism is connected to the punching press. Motorized extraction moves stacked peices to a platform or conveyor.
