Abstract
The invention relates to a thermoforming station in which motors are oriented so as to rotate in the same sense on the drive of the upper table (33) and of the lower table (32) of the thermoforming station whilst actuating elements (31) are oriented in counterrotating manner. In addition, a wobbling table mounting (37) is proposed. Further disclosed is a table-guiding system which is separate from the upper yoke supports. Spring assemblies (46) for holding overload supports are also mentioned. The thermoforming station (26) operates as a whole more reliably and is very easily maintained.
Claims27
A thermoforming station having a forming tool with an upper tool and a lower tool and having a drive for the forming tool for moving into an opening and into a closing direction wherein the drive comprises two drive units, which during operation each have a driving direction of rotation and for moving the forming tool each act on the forming tool via an actuating element, wherein the actuating elements during the operation each have an actuating element direction of rotation,
- wherein
- two drive units for the forming tool are arranged
- with co-rotating driving direction of rotation,
- via transmissions, for driving the actuating elements with counter-rotating actuating element direction of rotation.
