"High Speed" Twin-Sheet - The fastet and "largest" Twin-sheet foil machine in the world

When company Hombach modified and installed their first "closed
chamber" Twin-Sheet machine 20 years ago, everything was done in closed
connection to company Geiss. This partnership resulted during the
following 20 years in:
- The first closed-chamber Twin-Sheet machine with a size of 2000mm x
2000mm.
- The first closed-chamber Twin-Sheet machine mit automatic
sheet loader.

- The first closed-chamber Twin-Sheet maschine with a maximum size of 3000mm x 2500mm x 900mm.

In 2010 Hombach and Geiss continued this
story full of success with the actual fastest closed chamber Twin-Sheet
foil-machine in the world. With a maximum sheet size of 1600mm x 1100mm it set up a new record for Twin-Sheet foil machines. The foil thickness the T9 could work with starts at 0,3mm up to 2,5mm.


The new Geiss T9 combines the first time ever a lot of existing technologies in one machine, e.g.
- servo-motor knee lever drives with up to 60 tons pressure
- flash-heaters
- accelerated drives for all axes
- cutting within the mould / forming station
- support of the foils during the heating "closed chamber"


Today these unique feature combinations allow Hombach to manufacture Twin-Sheet parts (but of course also single sheet are possible), made out of two times 0,4mm material in under 30 seconds in a size up to 1600mm x 1100mm.
This gives Hombach tremendous possibilities to manufacture "High-Speed" Twin-Sheet parts for a wide variety of branches.


The suppling of the Automotive industry with foam air-ducts is just one on those interessting possibilities.


Furthermore with its new investment Hombach will manufacture leight-weight structures (RCP) together with its partner Genima in the future that could find use in all branches of the industry. The high flexibility of possible materials, even the more difficult ones like PC, PEEK, etc., makes it suitable for the aircraft, train, and ship industry.
