Zed Model SC-2530; 25"x30" Forming Area

Roll stand/infeed: Free standing or machine mounted; Sheet dancer/payoff lifters. Also available: Double roll holder for 35" diameter rolls, roll lifters.

Heating System: High efficiency, flat black, far infra-red system standard with individually controlled edge heaters. Outside portions of heaters emit more heat than center section to insure proper sheet drape. Heaters move away from sheet into insulated staging area during shut-down to improve safety and heating thermodynamics upon restart. Also available: Sheet temperature sensors, sheet drape level sensor, ceramic, quartz, cal-rod and catalytic gas heating systems.

Scrap Rewind: Standard, heavy-duty, pneumatic scrap rewind. Web may also be fed directly into available grinder.

Sheet Indexing System: Servo motor driven pin chain indexer with belt drive provides increased torque for superior accuracy and assists transport for difficult materials (OPS, etc.) Double wide roller pin chain rides in hardened ways for increased accuracy and longevity. Dual water cooling channels in each rail insure straightness. Adjustable screws allow easy rail width changes and trapezoid layouts. Also available: Motorized chain rail adjusters with feedback to computer for automatic positioning.

Control System: Windows based program, all machine functions are controlled and easily adjusted via a color touch screen. Job memory capabilities with servo, heater, and all timer controlled settings that can be saved. Self-diagnostics and fault indicators with "help" photographs simplify machine operations and maintenance. Individual pressure and vacuum control for precision forming. Cool blowing circuitry and valving included. Also available: Upgrade package replaces standard prox switches with linear encoders and includes complete job memory, expanded SPC, data acquisition, heater control, servo motions, platen and press positionings, etc.

Form Station: Exclusive self-compensating seal system reduces set up timyes and eliminates form tool, platen and/or toggle shimming during changeovers. High stability through low-profile 4-post press design. Deep draw capability - top and bottom. Plug assist capability to insure even film distribution. Extremely heavy duty press design. Solid steel, full form area size platen. Large diameter posts with bushings. Adjustable return stroke limiting prox increases cycle speeds associated with overstroking.

Trim Station: Most powerful 4-post trim press on the market. Solid steel, full form area size platens (up to 6" thick).Exclusive ZED pancake cylinder provides high tonnage trimming with complete control of pressure up to 3,000 psi. X-Y trim die adjusters (manual/standard). Also available: Motorized and upgrade versions of X-Y trim die adjusters with feed-back to computer for automatic set-up. Trim-on-the-mold for thermoformed parts requiring precision tolerances that only cut-in-place forming can provide. An optional higher tonnage forming press replaces the standard press, allowing forming and trimming in the same form station.
