In 1948 Mr Georg Geiss founded the company Maschi-nenfabrik Georg Geiss, whichhe managed until his death in

2002. He realised that plastics, a new material atthat time, is the future for manifold productionfacilities. Vacuum forming machines have beenproduced since 1955, after initially engaging in prototyping and tool manufacturing.

Based on forward-looking ideas, his companyenjoyed a steady growth over many decades.Essential ideas that influenced the progress ofvacuum forming technology were invented anddeveloped by him. Developments achieved underhis direction:- the first vacuum forming machine with ergonomical loading height

- the first bottom heater of a vacuum forming machine

- the first stepless control of heating elements- the first electronic machine control and- the first clamping frame adjustable in both axes.

He paved the way for the use of modern tech-nologies, for the introduction of future-orientedmanagement concepts and for the long-term success of a medium-sized German company. In 2003 the status changed into an incorporatedcompany.

Pressure forming and Twin-Sheet-equipment

This equipment complements the universal vacuum forming machine by adding pressureforming and Twin-Sheet. This option is availablein 4 variations which are:- pneumatic (max. 70 kN)- motorised (max. 200 kN)- motorised boost (max. 320 kN)- locked hydraulically (max. 2 MN).

Motorised drive

Machines with motorised table drive

This equipment allows extremely precise move-ment of the table. Freely programmable speeds,forces and positions can be selected and stored.

Machines with motorised plug assist drive

The precision of a CNC axis is also achievedhere. Therefore, speeds, change over points andforces are programmable and can be stored.

Programmable axes

www. -ttt .com

All setting positions of a vacuum for-ming machine can thus be automa-ted. The programmed value is storedtogether with the program onto adata carrier. After reloading of thisprogram all values of all these pro-grammable axes are automaticallyexecuted by the control one after theother. The following axes can now

be programmed:- all clamp frame positions- all plug assist positions- all table positions- photocell heights- window plate apertures- clamp frame settings- sheet loader stops- settings for roll feeder

Sheet loader

The sheet loader allows auto-mation of the production processstraight from the pallet. Any material thickness can behandled. All suction units can beselected and stored via program.Special control and design features prevent blanks fromsticking.

Roll feeder

All machine types can be equipped to processroll material. The combination sheet loader – roll feeder is also possible.

www. -ttt .com

Fast tool clamping system

The fast clamping system performs 4 importantfunctions of the tool change: taking off new toolfrom fork-lift truck, aligning on machine table,clamping in machine, lifting of mould off machine table to hand over to fork-lift truck. This enables one man to do the tool change inthe shortest time possible. On request, we canalso fit retractable ball rollers. Tool change overwagons are also available. In this case, everytool needs to be equipped with a closed bottomplate.

Window plate system

This option, invented by GEISS, patented and already successful installed in over 500 machines, replaces the fixed window plate!

The window plate system includes 4 separate plates positioned against each other like in an iris diaphragm. Our invention allows the stepless adjustment of both axes indepen-dently from one another! Except for our smallest sizes, the strokes are always the same.That machine axis which is directed from left to right (generally the longeraxis) allows a reduction by 1000 mm and the short axis over the widthof the machine, by 500 mm!

This means that our customers no longer need to have concerns aboutinvestment, organisation and storage of many different aperture plates.The operator is relieved of the necessity to change plates when changingsize. A correctly heated window plate, even of the right size, is alwaysavailable in the machine!

Radiation pyrometer

The precise measurement of the material temperature is used at 3 points for control: - in top heater for controlling heating time- in bottom heater for additional information- in machine frame for controlling cooling time

Plastitherm temperature control

Fully integrated unit. Measuring of tool temperature with Pt-100 sensorand 3-point controller.

Clean room equipment

Class A shaped parts are increasingly required tohave clean room quality. To that effect the resultsare very positive. The measurements show that aclean room enclosure, along with a very carefulpreparation, can reduce the number of particlessuspended in the air within the cabin by 99.75 %!This is based on an additional set-up on a standard machine. Alternatively the clean roomequipment is available in stainless steel.

Absorption curve%

Heating systems with halogen elements

The “FLASH” heater element system can often cut heating timesin half. The productivity of the single-station vacuum formingmachine is equal to productivity of multi-station machines – without their drawbacks.

The power of each element is individually controlled (our standard!) and allows perfect adaptation to the most demandingapplications!

The low absorption at a wave length of 1 micrometer allowsdeep penetration of the radiation and perfect heating through ofeven very thick materials. Our halogen elements type “FLASH”are unrestricted applicable for all thermoforming materials! In the meantime nearly 400 machines equipped with our“FLASH” heating elements are operating successfully all over the world.

CLASSIC trimming spindles

The CLASSIC trimming spindles have a toolclamping device that permits automatic toolchange. The particular feature of the CLASSICtrimming spindles is the interchangeable shaftunit. In the event of damage to the bearing, it is not necessary to remove and repair the complete spindle, but only the shaft unit. Also for these spindles we carry refurbished spindlespermanently in stock.

GEISS trimming spindles

GEISS trimming spindles have 2 protruding shaft ends. The direc-tion of rotation of these spindles can be inverted in seconds via program. The spindles are therefore especially suitable for the trimming of mouldings. GEISS spindles are available in 2 sizes. We have built up a very fast and unbureaucratic exchange andrepair service for GEISS trimming spindles, which we produce ourselves in every part in highest precision and which are subjectto most rigorous quality control.

Linear motors

The “Safety integrated” function and the high perfor-mance of Sinumerik, along with the proven portaldesign of our machines, allow the use of synchronouslinear motors. These linear direct drives accelerate themachine from 15 m/s2 up to a speed of 180 m/minwhich permits an increase in production of 40 to 100 %. In addition, this drive distinguishes itselfthrough extreme rigidity and contour precision, as themachines are equipped with direct measuring systemsand elimination of mechanical force transmission elements such as gears and belts. As there are hardly any mechanical components that might wear,these machines have a considerably longer life span.

Equipment with shuttle table, sliding table and rotary table

The shuttle table is recommended for the loadingand unloading of big parts. It is designed as anadditional CNC axis. Protection is provided by lightbarriers or a safety laser scanner. The table movesalternately out of the machine at the left-hand andthe right-hand side. When the shuttle table is posi-tioned it shuts the machine case like a drawer orthe machine case is shut by vertically running rollerblinds.

Sliding tables move out of the machineto the front to facilitate the change ofworkpieces. Machines with centrescreens can be fitted with 2 such tables.For large formed parts, the sliding tablescan also be coupled.

The rotary table is designed as NC-axis. Workpieces can bechanged while the machine is working. Loading and unload-ing is at the same position so that the machines can easily beintegrated into production lines. Owing to these advantages,machines with rotary tables are frequently used in the automo-tive industry, for example for the processing of dashboards.The danger area of the rotary table is protected by a light barrier at the front and a safety laser scanner that preventstrespassing the light barrier.

Weakening of slush skins

To ensure the function of invisible airbags in motor vehicles, the slush skins of dashboards and door panelsmust be cut down to a very precise residual wall thickness. Our machines with ultrasonic cutting unit are perfectly suited for this application and are already inoperation in many factories. They are complemented by2 measuring sensors to compensate machine tolerancesand thermal expansion as well as protocol system for theprocess parameters.Our experience in the manufacture of the necessary cutting jigs makes us the preferred supplier to the automotive industry.

In addition to the measuring sensor on the sledge of the Z-axis for measur-ing and recording the work piece co-ordinates, a fixed sensor is availablefor automatic measuring of the machine axes and trimming tools as well as a laser system for tool setting and breakage monitoring. Measuring cyclesautomatically perform error compensation, tool compensation and zerooffsets are calculated and activated.

Measuring sensor and measuring cycles

The ideal complement to the control system for fast program creation directly on the workpiece via “teach-in”. The unit features integrated direction keysand supports all functions in all operating modes.

TT-in-one series

The TT-in-one series is a unique system which combines vacuum forming machine, feeder and CNC equipment into asingle unit. This fully automatic plant gives users a decisiveedge over competitors:- the in-process stock (between vacuum forming machine

and CNC machine) is no longer required, - the automation ensures a more uniform quality

of the products.An essential advantage is the improved precision in the inter-action of vacuum forming machine and CNC trimming. Due to smaller temperature differences the product materialsare less affected by stress and last longer when being processed further.
