Description of the machine
The
Shannon HRT
bending machine is a rapidly convertible
machine for the production of large series of items with
multiple bends for the plastic sheet processing industry.
The machine has two adjustable heating elements as
standard. The temperature of which can be adjusted
independently by electronic controls.
The filaments of the heating elements on the working
surface are adjustable in height.
The workpiece can be heated from one side and it is
possible to bend sheet up to 5 mm thick.
The working surface is made of scratch-resistant solid
core material with which the space between the zones to
be heated can be filled to support the plastic sheet.
When heated, thermoplastics become so flexible that they
can be shaped. When a plastic sheet is heated to its
softening point in a narrow zone, if can be bent to any angle
desired.
The bending radius is determined by the width of the heated
zone. The zone is determined by the thickness of the
material, the type of heating element and the distance
between the plastic and the filament.
Every plastic has its specific softening point. By coordinating
the temperature, heated zone and the heating time all kinds
of thermoplastic can be processed.
