New Thermoformers from Commodore

Over the past few years, there has been an ever increasing demand from our customers for an all-electric thermoformer.  As a result of this demand, we are pleased to announce that we are going to introduce two different electric machines.

Kurt Bartosch, our Engineering Manager, has spent quite a bit of time researching how to best build a machine with servo actuated toggles.  Sure, this type of machine already exists, but current designs on the market are both complex and expensive.  Commodore's philosophy on thermoformers has always been to keep it simple, reliable, and economical.  Thanks to technological advances in servo motors, drives, and actuators, we are finally comfortable offering an all electric thermoformer that adheres to our ideals. 

At this time, we plan on making servo-actuated form stations for our SX-44 and SX-28 machines.  After all of the design details are worked out, we will most likely build a 28 for our own foam plant, along with our first ever high speed trim press for 30" wide sheet, the TP-30HD.

With a form station capable of over 50 cycles per minute at full stroke length and a trim press that can operate up to 150 CPM, we feel that this machine will please anyone that needs a high-speed all-electric thermoformer.  Keep an eye here for more details over the next few weeks.

Thanks for reading!
