Thermoforming machine

T11 Thermoforming machine

The T11 represents GEISS’s cutting-edge technology in thermoforming. As our most powerful thermoforming machine, it stands out with significantly reduced machine cycle times and a compact design.

With a completely revised, touch-navigable operating concept, the T11 offers intuitive operation and simplified set-up. The design principle and the large interior of the heavy-duty universal moulding machine enable it to be upgraded with every conceivable GEISS option. This makes the T series one of the absolute high-tech solutions in terms of thermoforming.
The parametric design principle allows for any reasonable size above a minimum nominal dimension of 1000 × 900 mm. Dimensions such as 4700 × 2400 mm or 3100 × 3100 mm are no exotics but go through the usual production process. The nominal dimension of the machine describes the largest sheet size that can be processed. The clamping rim is 20 mm all around. The standard tool height of 620 mm can also be increased as desired upon request.
Advantages T11 vs. T10

The next generation of T10

New control concept:
As easy as a smartphone

The T11 stands out with its innovative and revised operating concept, uniquely combining thermoforming technology and user-friendliness. The touchscreen interface and realistic representation of all machine components make control a breeze: simply tap the desired component and adjust the settings in no time. Inputting the tool dimensions is all it takes, and the T11 takes care of the rest of the setup, from end positions to travel paths. Thanks to the newly designed heating control, it is possible to divide into specific heating zones. The customization of displays and a clear presentation of process data complete this intuitive experience.

Innovative
Heating control

The T11 elevates heating control to a new level by enabling the creation of individual heating zones. By using pyrometers, the temperature of each area is precisely monitored to ensure optimal material heating. This precise heat management is tailored specifically to each product and ensures consistently high quality, which is particularly crucial for multi-cavity productions.

Efficient
robot integration

The T11 Automation integrates robot control directly into the thermoforming machine, eliminating the need for separate hardware and thereby saving costs. The entire robot control is managed through the T11 HMI with automatic product data integration. This not only promotes efficiency but also offers the advantage of a single point of contact for the entire system.
