Formech 508FS Vacuum Former
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.
20-Program Memory Storage
Save and instantly recall up to 20 named presets for fast, consistent setup across 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.
High-Performance Dry Rotary Vane Pump 10m3/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.
Intuitive PLC Touchscreen Control
The intuitive PLC touchscreen interface provides simple, precise control for quick setup and efficient machine operation.
Four Independently Controlled Heating Zones
Delivers rapid heating with precise control for forming complex shapes and demanding 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.
12-Month Product Warranty
Every Formech machine includes a standard 12-month manufacturer’s warranty for added peace of mind.
