Higher Vacuum Flow

The 508FS is equipped with a 10 m³/h dry rotary vane pump, delivering ample vacuum power for intensive forming applications.

Auto-Level Feature

The Auto-Level feature prevents material sag during heating by maintaining a consistent distance between the heater and sheet, while an audible alert signals when the material is ready to form.

Pre-Stretch Feature

The Pre-Stretch feature inflates the heated sheet into a bubble to minimize material thinning when forming deeper moulds.
