Formech 1372 Features

Energy-Efficient Quartz Heating System

Featuring energy-efficient quartz heaters, the system delivers rapid heating to reduce processing time and energy consumption.

Vacuum Pressure Monitoring

Provides a clear visual display of vacuum pressure in both inHg and bar for consistent forming performance.

Formech Cycle View with 40-Program Memory

View machine cycle status at a glance and adjust parameters in real time without interrupting the current cycle.

15 Independently Controlled Heating Zones

Fifteen independently controlled heating zones deliver precise heat distribution for consistent results across a wide range of materials and forming applications.

Auto-Level Feature

Prevents material sag during heating by maintaining a consistent distance between the heater and sheet, while an audible alert indicates when the material is ready to form.

Pneumatic Table

Lifts tool table quickly and precisely making effortless operation, even with heavy tools. Twin controls avoid accidental activation.

Multi-User PIN Access Control

Supervisors can assign different access levels to operators for secure, controlled machine operation.

High-Performance Dry Rotary Vane Pump 25m3/h

Provides reliable, high-capacity vacuum power for intensive forming operations.

Integrated Vacuum and Mould Release

Once the formed part has cooled, air is forced between the mould and sheet to enable quick and easy part release.

7'' Color PLC Touchscreen Control

A 7-inch color PLC touchscreen provides intuitive machine control, fast setup, and easy access to operating parameters.

40-Program Memory

Forty nameable presets allow quick, convenient recall of settings for different applications.

Pre-Stretch Feature

The Pre-Stretch feature pumps air into the heated sheet to create a bubble, reducing material thinning when forming deeper moulds.

Precision Vacuum Flow Control

Provides precise vacuum flow control for greater accuracy in demanding forming applications.

Adjustable Table Height

Adjustable table height reduces tool table travel for shallow tools, helping shorten cycle times.

Pneumatic Trigger Clamps

A pneumatically powered clamping system delivers strong, effortless clamping with precise control.

12-Month Product Warranty

Every Formech machine includes a standard 12-month manufacturer’s warranty for added peace of mind.
