Please take some time to read about our products listed below.

Vacuum Forming Machines

  • Lab Machine

    This is a versatile, compact lab machine that comes in two versions.

    • SBA – Automatic
    • SBM – Manual

    Single Station

    We have developed and built numerous production systems for the following industries: aerospace, metal fabrication, medical, packaging, water management, electronics and plastics recycling. With over 25 years experience and well over 300 systems in production around the world, we have developed the expertise and track record to become an essential part of your next project.

    Dual Station

    Our dual station vacuum forming machines are specially designed to increase your shop productivity and at the same time reduce your energy bill in a smaller foot print than two machines equivalent in forming size.

    Continuous Roll-fed

    We build roll-fed vacuum forming machines in various configurations. Our top of the line is our IL series come equipped with trim press and stacker as well as unwind stand. If you do not need the trim press, we can supply a cut to length slicer that will sheet each index. For the budget-oriented shop, we offer the series HIL of vacuum forming machines. These machines will form advance the material automatically and a slicer will sheet each index.

  • Routers

  • 3 Axis CNC Routers

    Our CNC routers are used in sign and graphics fabrication 3-Dimensional (3D) machining (sign, plastics, wood, molds, etc.) Cabinetmaking furniture, general woodworking manufacturing store fixture, display manufacturing sheet plastic fabrication solid surface machining non-ferrous metal machining (aluminum, brass, copper, zinc) composite machining (graphite, phenolic, Kevlar, etc.)

    All our routers are designed and built based on our knowledge of proper machining practices and machine building procedures

    We build these 3 axis CNC routers in four different working envelope configurations:

    • 60″ x 120″ x 10″ travel Z-axis
    • 48″ x 96″ x 10″ travel Z-axis
    • 48″ x 48″ x 10″ travel Z-axis
    • 36″ x 36″ x 8″ travel Z-axis
    • Custom configurations available

    Each machine features a high strength custom engineered aluminum construction designed to ensure rigidity and accuracy.

    All axis is composed of linear ball bearings mounted on precision machined plates and ride on hardened shafts.

    All our router are shipped fully assembled, all software preloaded, no need to buy additional components, uncrate, plug and work (read the manuals first)

    Each machine undergoes a rigorous real-life test prior to shipping. These are rugged, precise machines designed to operate in an industrial facility .easy to operate and service with full cad cam software.

    Overhead Routers

    Great machine to trim vacuum formed parts.

    The pneumatically driven head retracts 6″ away from the part without losing the depth of cut that is controlled separately.

    The frame of the machine is built of heavy-duty structural aluminum extrusion.

    The machine is mounted on a base with a working envelope of 48″ x 48″ and the Z-axis will travel 10″.

    All linear bearings ride on hardened shafts and are mounted on precision machined plates.

    The Z axis is driven by a trapezoidal lead screw.

    FIMEC variable speed 1.34 HP SPINDLE MOTOR 0 TO 24000 RPM (speed adjustable on the fly). Driven by an ATC variable speed drive, allowing you to adjust it to best match it to different materials

    We provide with each machine a convenient operator pendant.

    Each machine is supplied with 3 sizes of R200 collets: ¼”, 3/8″ and ½”, also included are spindle and collets wrenches.

    Each machine undergoes a rigorous real-life test.

    Machine requires 220 volts, 3 phase, 10 amps, other voltages available

    This is built to order machines, current lead time is 3 weeks.

    Each one of our machines is covered by a 12-month limited warranty and is backed by a 24/7 technical support.

    Point-to-point Routers

    For those applications that do not require a full CNC router, we offer our point to point routers.

    This machine does an outstanding job slotting, pocketing or drilling items like aluminum extrusions or drilling multiple holes on flat surfaces on all nonferrous materials.

    We can build this machine in any X Y Z size configuration

    1.34 Hp Ekstrom Spindle Motor At 24000 Rpm Max Controlled By An Atc Frequency Drive We Furnish It With Three Collets 1/4″, 3/8″ And 1/2″

    Powerful Nema 34 Stepper Motors

    Trapezoidal lead screws, we usually maintain tolerances of +- 0.003″

    Programming Is Plain English Via any computer with a serial port.

    Power Is 220 Volts 3 phase, other voltages available

    Custom Routers

    Router lathe.

    This is a great, clever machine design. It will process any nonmetallic material that requires routing work on its faces with a turning constraint such as columns and pillars.

    It will handle pieces up to 24″ diameter and 8 feet long.

    This is a 4 axis machine, all Servo driven.

    4.7 HP Fimec spindle with AC tech frequency drive max 18000 RPM, max collet size is 3/4″.

    Programming thru regular G code or upload tool paths from programs such as Mastercam.

    One end acts as a live center.

    In order to help locate pieces, the machine comes equipped with a hydraulic lift.

    Control Panels

    Our control systems are specifically designed to provide precise control to the heaters of your thermoforming machine while providing energy management. We build control systems with as little as 4 zones and up to 120 zones. Control of each zone is provided by percentage timers run by an automation direct PLC. The PLC also provides for a soft start sequence reducing power usage by about 30%. The input of percentage to each heater is done via an included DV-1000 operator interface. We also build panels where the control is provided by thermocouple input (closed-loop system). Each zone is connected to a Carlo Gavazzi solid state relay. Systems are shipped ready to run, just connect your power to the power distribution block included. Great for retrofits of older thermoforming machines. All our systems are covered by a 12-month warranty.
