A thermoforming machine for manufacturing articles from a heated thermoplastic film, comprising:
- a molding station with a molding and punching tool having an upper tool and a lower tool, the lower tool being arranged pivotably around a horizontal axis on a tool table which moves in an opening and a closing direction;
- an extraction device arranged downstream of the molding station in travel direction of the thermoplastic film, the extraction device having suction mandrels which grip punched-out articles from the lower tool while the lower tool is in a tilted position;
- a hole punch with a lower punching tool that is pivotable around a horizontal axis and an upper punching tool which is driven in a raising and lowering manner, the upper punching tool being fitted with punching dies;
- and
- a stacking station arranged downstream of the hole punch,
- wherein the lower punching tool receives the punched-out articles from the extraction device while being pivoted into a tilted position facing the extraction device and
- wherein the lower punching tool pivots into a vertical 0° position to face the upper punching tool for punching operation.
