Thermal molding

KIRSCH Kunststofftechnik has specialised in lasering transparent or coloured plastics like acrylic glass, up to a maximum thickness of 20 mm. The advantage when cutting is a shiny edge which does not need to be polished afterwards. We are offering a variable processing size up to 2000 x 1500 mm. Following individual arrangements we are also able to process other plastics. Our laser can be programmed using common files, making your ideas and wishes nearly limitless.

With our modern lathes and milling machines we can process thermoplastics according to the highest quality standards. We are using 3-axis as well as 5-axis milling machines. Example for our processing options: 3-axis machining up to a thickness of 80 mm and 1500 x 1000 mm format 5-axis machining up to a thickness of 700 mm and 2500 x 3000 mm format We manufacture according to provided drawings and CAD-data. Our programming stations are equipped with the latest CAD-CAM systems. Direct communication between job preparation and CNC work ensure a smooth process.

Depending on the material high-pressure-forming can be an advantageous method, where the soft pressed plate is blown into shape with compressed air. This special procedure is being applied by KIRSCH Kunststofftechnik for decades and requires a high degree of cleanness and precision.

Folding is a method used for linear transformation of plate material. The material is selectively heated in certain areas and then cooled in special devices in ordert o stay in shape. The warming with quartz spotlights allow very short cycle times. Additionally we have a variety of folding benches that allow up to 4 bends per coat on a maximum working length of 2000 mm.
