In 1948 Mr Georg Geiss
founded the company Maschinenfabrik
Georg Geiss, which
he managed until his death in
2002. He realised that plastics, a new material at
that time, is the future for manifold production
facilities. Vacuum forming machines have been
produced since 1955, after initially engaging in
prototyping and tool manufacturing.
Based on forward-looking ideas, his company
enjoyed a steady growth over many decades.
Essential ideas that influenced the progress of
vacuum forming technology were invented and
developed by him. Developments achieved under
his direction:
- the first vacuum forming machine with
ergonomical loading height
- the first bottom heater of a vacuum forming
machine
- the first stepless control of heating elements
- the first electronic machine control and
- the first clamping frame adjustable in both axes.
He paved the way for the use of modern technologies,
for the introduction of future-oriented
management concepts and for the long-term
success of a medium-sized German company.
In 2003 the status changed into an incorporated
company.

Pressure forming and Twin-Sheet-equipment
10
This equipment complements the universal
vacuum forming machine by adding pressure
forming and Twin-Sheet. This option is available
in 4 variations which are:
- pneumatic (max. 70 kN)
- motorised (max. 200 kN)
- motorised boost (max. 320 kN)
- locked hydraulically (max. 2 MN).
Motorised drive
Machines with motorised table drive
This equipment allows extremely precise movement
of the table. Freely programmable speeds,
forces and positions can be selected and stored.
Machines with motorised plug assist drive
The precision of a CNC axis is also achieved
here. Therefore, speeds, change over points and
forces are programmable and can be stored.
Programmable axes
All setting positions of a vacuum forming
machine can thus be automated.
The programmed value is stored
together with the program onto a
data carrier. After reloading of this
program all values of all these programmable
axes are automatically
executed by the control one after the
other. The following axes can now
be programmed:
- all clamp frame positions
- all plug assist positions
- all table positions
- photocell heights
- window plate apertures
- clamp frame settings
- sheet loader stops
- settings for roll feeder

Sheet loader
The sheet loader allows automation
of the production process
straight from the pallet.
Any material thickness can be
handled. All suction units can be
selected and stored via program.
Special control and design
features prevent blanks from
sticking.
Roll feeder
All machine types can be equipped to process
roll material. The combination sheet loader –
roll feeder is also possible.

Fast tool clamping system
12
The fast clamping system performs 4 important
functions of the tool change: taking off new tool
from fork-lift truck, aligning on machine table,
clamping in machine, lifting of mould off
machine table to hand over to fork-lift truck.
This enables one man to do the tool change in
the shortest time possible. On request, we can
also fit retractable ball rollers. Tool change over
wagons are also available. In this case, every
tool needs to be equipped with a closed bottom
plate.
Window plate system
This option, invented by GEISS, patented and already successful installed in over
500 machines, replaces the fixed window plate!
The window plate system includes 4 separate plates positioned against each other like
in an iris diaphragm. Our invention allows the stepless adjustment of both axes independently
from one another! Except for our smallest sizes, the strokes are always the same.
That machine axis which is directed from left to right (generally the longer
axis) allows a reduction by 1000 mm and the short axis over the width
of the machine, by 500 mm!
This means that our customers no longer need to have concerns about
investment, organisation and storage of many different aperture plates.
The operator is relieved of the necessity to change plates when changing
size. A correctly heated window plate, even of the right size, is always
available in the machine!

Radiation pyrometer
Thermoforming
Options for Vacuum forming machines
The precise measurement of the material temperature is used
at 3 points for control:
- in top heater for controlling heating time
- in bottom heater for additional information
- in machine frame for controlling cooling time
Clean room equipment
Class A shaped parts are increasingly required to
have clean room quality. To that effect the results
are very positive. The measurements show that a
clean room enclosure, along with a very careful
preparation, can reduce the number of particles
suspended in the air within the cabin by 99.75 %!
This is based on an additional set-up on a
standard machine. Alternatively the clean room
equipment is available in stainless steel.

Plastitherm temperature control
Fully integrated unit. Measuring of tool temperature with Pt-100 sensor
and 3-point controller.

Heating systems with quartz elements
Heating systems with halogen elements
14
All machine types and heater banks are available
with quartz elements or optional with “FLASH” type
elements.
Hundreds of thousands of these elements are in use.
Their fast response helped the single-station vacuum
forming machine achieve a high share of the market.
In idle position at lowest setting, they are among the
best energy saving heating elements in vacuum
forming machines.
The “FLASH” heater element system can often cut heating times
in half. The productivity of the single-station vacuum forming
machine is equal to productivity of multi-station machines –
without their drawbacks.
The power of each element is individually controlled (our
standard!) and allows perfect adaptation to the most demanding
applications!
The low absorption at a wave length of 1 micrometer allows
deep penetration of the radiation and perfect heating through of
even very thick materials. Our halogen elements type “FLASH”
are unrestricted applicable for all thermoforming materials!
In the meantime nearly 400 machines equipped with our
“FLASH” heating elements are operating successfully all over
the world.

the efficiency of the heating. The power consumption as well as the heating times for typical applications are remarkably
reduced! Multi-color printed sheets of various thermoplastics are no longer a problem.

CNC trimming machines
Trimming machine FZ 2000 x 1000
16
Since their development in 1984, it was our aim to offer a range of CNC trimming machines, which would
hold a leading market position in respect of technology, quality and productivity. The advantages of continuous
path control, rigid portal design and high flexibility put our trimming machines very soon on the road to
success. These machines are also designed in accordance with our parametric concept and are available in
any nominal size and countless variations to achieve the optimum for the user.
Over 450 machines supplied prove their productivity under harsh industrial conditions.
Sinumerik 840D control
The widely varying demands that we and our customers make on an
NC control can nowadays only be met by the Sinumerik 840D. The integrated
PC can meet all requirements with features such as modern data
interfaces, easy operation with top performance, extensive 5-axes
processing package, comprehensive programming facilities and safety
feature “Safety Integrated”.
The following options are available in our machines: Any offset, rotation,

CNC trimming machine FZ Direct Drive
Trimming centre with 5 directly driven axes
18
For fast 5-axes trimming from foams for model manufacturing up to aluminium,
all axes of this plant are equipped with gearless direct drives. Linear motors can
boost the speed in the 3 longitudinal axes to up to 180 m/min. The two rotary
axes B and C use gearless drives, so-called torque motors, which depending on
version can achieve an angular speed of up to 900 angular degrees. The acceleration
of these axes is much higher than that of conventional axes with gear
drives.
The machines for trimming of plastic and aluminium come
into a new class! With CNC trimming center FZ Direct Drive
the rotating axes are no longer the limitation at quick simultaneous
movements and on horizontal surrounding of radii.

Trimming machine for light-duty applications
Trimming
CNC trimming machine ECO series
The current range of CNC trimming machines has been extended at the end of 2003 with the machine
type "ECO". This new development is designed for light-duty applications and is also priced very
attractively. The axes achieve feed speeds up to 75 m/min. The PC based control Sinumerik 840DI
by Siemens provides the same 5-axes functions of its "big brothers"; yet:
The price is economical – without saving on quality and service!
In addition to plastics these trimming machines can also process wooden materials and aluminium.
During the first year after introduction of this machine type we succeeded to sell 25 machines worldwide.
Yet another proof that this new development places us again "one step ahead".

Linear motors
22
The “Safety integrated” function and the high performance
of Sinumerik, along with the proven portal
design of our machines, allow the use of synchronous
linear motors. These linear direct drives accelerate the
machine from 15 m/s2 up to a speed of 180 m/min
which permits an increase in production of 40 to
100 %. In addition, this drive distinguishes itself
through extreme rigidity and contour precision, as the
machines are equipped with direct measuring systems
and elimination of mechanical force transmission
elements such as gears and belts. As there are
hardly any mechanical components that might wear,
these machines have a considerably longer life span.

for air re-circulation.
Extraction systems
We offer suitable extraction systems, swarf conveyors
and filter systems including all conduits
ready assembled for the removal of swarf and
dust.
When a swarf removal system is fitted, a strut
frame replaces the solid machine table so that
the swarf can fall through.

Trimming
Options for CNC trimming machines
Equipment with shuttle table, sliding table and rotary table
The shuttle table is recommended for the loading
and unloading of big parts. It is designed as an
additional CNC axis. Protection is provided by light
barriers or a safety laser scanner. The table moves
alternately out of the machine at the left-hand and
the right-hand side. When the shuttle table is positioned
it shuts the machine case like a drawer or
the machine case is shut by vertically running roller
blinds.
The rotary table is designed as NC-axis. Workpieces can be
changed while the machine is working. Loading and unloading
is at the same position so that the machines can easily be
integrated into production lines. Owing to these advantages,
machines with rotary tables are frequently used in the automotive
industry, for example for the processing of dashboards.
The danger area of the rotary table is protected by a light
barrier at the front and a safety laser scanner that prevents
trespassing the light barrier.
Sliding tables move out of the machine
to the front to facilitate the change of
workpieces. Machines with centre
screens can be fitted with 2 such tables.
For large formed parts, the sliding tables
can also be coupled.

Measuring sensor and measuring cycles
28
In addition to the measuring sensor on the sledge of the Z-axis for measuring
and recording the work piece co-ordinates, a fixed sensor is available
for automatic measuring of the machine axes and trimming tools as well as
a laser system for tool setting and breakage monitoring. Measuring cycles
automatically perform error compensation, tool compensation and zero
offsets are calculated and activated.
Teachbox HT6
The ideal complement to the control system for fast
program creation directly on the workpiece via
“teach-in”. The unit features integrated direction keys
and supports all functions in all operating modes.
Weakening of slush skins
To ensure the function of invisible airbags in motor
vehicles, the slush skins of dashboards and door panels
must be cut down to a very precise residual wall
thickness. Our machines with ultrasonic cutting unit are
perfectly suited for this application and are already in
operation in many factories. They are complemented by
2 measuring sensors to compensate machine tolerances
and thermal expansion as well as protocol system for the
process parameters.
Our experience in the manufacture of the necessary
cutting jigs makes us the preferred supplier to the
automotive industry.

Model- and tool making package

Trimming
Options for CNC trimming machines
Precision measuring scanning arm
The ideal aid when programs have to be generated frequently by teach-in.
The precision measuring scanning arm is also available for suspended
design. With additional software it can also be used for digitisation of 3D
objects and for measuring of workpieces.

TT-in-one series
30
The TT-in-one series is a unique system which combines
vacuum forming machine, feeder and CNC equipment into a
single unit. This fully automatic plant gives users a decisive
edge over competitors:
- the in-process stock (between vacuum forming machine
and CNC machine) is no longer required,
- the automation ensures a more uniform quality
of the products.
An essential advantage is the improved precision in the interaction
of vacuum forming machine and CNC trimming.
Due to smaller temperature differences the product materials
are less affected by stress and last longer when being
processed further.

Other features of the TT-in-one series:
- networking of PLC and CNC,
- also available with ultrasonic cutting unit and swarf extraction,
- also available with halogen heater elements (for higher outputs),
- linear motors substantially increase the processing,
- no limitation to length due to the system, hence available for any size (due to the parametric
principle for vacuum forming machines and CNC-trimming machines).
