Formech 1500 Vacuum Former

The Formech 1500 delivers a large forming area and high-performance specifications while maintaining cost efficiency. Its versatility makes it suitable for R&D, large-format manufacturing, POS displays, signage, film and theatre set design, props, and other industrial and commercial applications.

An electric heater drive, pneumatic table, and pneumatic clamping ensure effortless operation, while the standard vacuum tank system delivers ultra-fast response for demanding applications and shorter cycle times. Designed for 1500 × 1000 mm sheets, the Formech 1500 offers a large forming area with greater hands-on flexibility than fully guarded automatic machines.

Formech 1500 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

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

Pre-Stretch Feature

Pre-Stretch inflates the heated sheet to create a bubble, helping maintain uniform material thickness when forming deep tools.

Dual Cooling Fans

Accelerates cooling of formed parts to reduce cycle times.

Precision Vacuum Flow Control

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

Electric Heater Drive

The electric heater drive provides smooth, precise heater movement for efficient operation and consistent heating.

Multi-User PIN Access Control

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

18 m³/h Oil-Filled Rotary Vane Pump

Provides an 18 m³/h vacuum flow for rapid, consistent performance during demanding 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 control, quick setup, and easy access to machine settings.

18 Independently Controlled Heating Zones

Delivers rapid, precise heat control for forming challenging shapes and materials.

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.

Integrated Vacuum Receiver Tank

The integrated vacuum receiver tank provides rapid vacuum response for faster cycle times and consistent forming performance.

Pneumatic Table

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

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.
