Bosch Thermoform Calculator
This calculation program is a tool to help you calculate:
- Product weights against material thicknesses and vice versa
- Tool layouts with the number of cavities and material usage for your thermoform machine
You can calculate the number of cavities for round cups on various European machine types in the market. You can calculate cup sizes from Ø 40 mm till Ø 230 mm.
The Calculator offers 5 different tool configurations, so you can make a choice for:
- Maximum number of cavities
- Optimal material saving
- Cavity orientation for optimal heat and material distribution
Tool layout and number of cavities are depending on many different parameters as machine type, machine serial number, sheet quality, sheet thickness, product heights, available infra structure, skill of machine operators, stacking systems or many other variables.
Under some conditions, with reduced space for spreading the sheet or if you are willing to accept a less stable tool, the number of cavities can possibly be increased.
In other situations there can be very good reasons to decrease the number of cavities. The calculator uses standard machine data from machine suppliers, material and stacker systems.
We strongly advise to discuss the best possible tool configuration with Bosch Sprang!
