Thermoforming with automation

With the T11 thermoforming machine, we are already setting high standards in the field of thermoforming. But with the integration of advanced robotics in T11 Automation, we are going one step further – true to our slogan of one step ahead.
In the T11 Automation, we seamlessly combine the first-class performance of the T11 with advanced robotics. The integrated robot not only expands the machine’s range of applications, but also revolutionises the handling of large components, edge trimming and component removal. This is the successful symbiosis of proven thermoforming technology and state-of-the-art automation solutions – all from GEISS. A new milestone for the thermoforming process.
