Flexible thermoforming system with high-speed stack handling

ILLIG Maschinenbau is a pioneer and market leader in the manufacture of machines and tools for producing plastic packaging using thermoforming. Its new thermoforming system RedLine RDF 85 now enables the use of off-system tool systems. This is how the company is setting new standards in flexibility. Also integrated is a stack handling system with electric axes from Festo. When it comes to the speed and longevity of thermoforming machines, the most important thing is the automation technology used. “For us, it is very important to collaborate with market leaders. Festo, for example, supplies the electric axes for the stack handling system that removes the finished packaging parts from the machine,“- Walter Clauss, Head of Mechanical Development & Standardization at ILLIG
