Three different mechanical structure driving methods for Sinoplast thermoforming machine
Since 2015, our thermoforming machine has undergone several mechanical updates to meet today's market demands. We've also introduced the latest drive structure, significantly increasing production output and enabling the handling of more complex plastic products.
Sinoplast's first generation plastic thermoforming machine is driven by an eccentric wheel. Although driving in this way can be more stable in production, it is a fatal weakness for customers who want high output and fast running speed. When facing the production of PP materials,the maximum operating speed reaches only 20 cycles per minute, and using this driving method greatly tests the quality of the bearings. If relatively poor bearings are used during operation, it is easy to cause damage.
Sinoplast's second-generation plastic thermoforming machine is driven by cam common rail. This driving method is the most stable for the operation of the thermoforming machine, and we use high-strength steel support in important parts. But the only weakness is that each workstation can only be driven by the lower mold table, which makes it impossible for customers to produce products with deeper depths.
To meet market demands, we have analyzed the weaknesses of the driving methods in previous generations of thermoforming machines. After improvements by our designers, we have launched a new generation of driving methods for plastic thermoforming machines, which utilizes a built-in eccentric wheel bending arm. This new system not only increases running speed but also allows for the production of deeper products, with a maximum molding depth of 105mm. The fastest operating speed for PET sheet production can reach 40 molds per minute. Each workstation is equipped with servo motor control, enhancing the machine's response speed. For instance, you can easily set the workstation's stop position via the touch screen, and the machine will respond quickly to your settings. If the set stopping position is too high, the machine automatically enters protection mode, ensuring that each workstation returns to a safe position to prevent operational errors and potential damage.
