The "TFH-UD-Q" is a pressure vacuum forming machine that supports large sheets/thick plates and enables high-precision alignment. Significant weight reduction is possible through the resinization of steel plates, allowing for a substantial reduction in mold costs compared to injection molding. Additionally, when adding decoration or functionality to 3D-shaped parts, printing and hard coating can be done simply by processing sheet-like materials, eliminating the need for large equipment. Through light-transmitting printing, designs that cannot be achieved with steel plates are realized, and by adopting a special heating method, high-precision alignment forming is possible even with large sheets/thick plates. We will be exhibiting at the 2023 Automotive Technology Exhibition, which will be held from May 24, 2023.

Our company, Asano Research Institute, has developed a new decorative molding technology that adds drive to plate heating molding, enabling high-precision alignment. As a result, it is expected to be practically applied as a "high-precision positioning technology for vehicle-mounted light transmission designs using vacuum molding," particularly for light transmission in automotive parts. With high precision and short time, it enables "high-precision positioning" for coating and bonding plastic sheets to injection-molded products. This greatly contributes to products that emphasize aesthetics and design, as well as improving the yield in the decorative process.

"Vacuum Coating Molding" using thermal forming technology is a method that adds value to the surface of a substrate (such as injection-molded products) by coating and bonding high-functional sheets, such as decorative materials. The material is heated through adsorption with a heating plate, and the substrate side is subjected to reduced pressure vacuum to coat and bond the surface of the substrate. It is also possible to incorporate the sheet. ■□■□■□■□■□■Additional Version Information■□■□■□■□■□■□■ - Model: TFH-0221 - Molding Area (Internal Dimensions): 250mm × 180mm - Maximum Molding Depth: 30mm - Size Compatibility: Compatible with A4 size sheets ■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■ *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us directly.
