Aluminium Foil Container Making Machine 80 Ton H Frame with Mitsubishi PLC and ABB Motor Foil Container Press

The control system on this 80-ton aluminium foil container press line is specified as one matched package: a Mitsubishi PLC as the control core, an ABB motor for the main drive, Schneider low voltage components for the distribution and control circuits, and SMC and Airtac pneumatic parts. These are not individual brands picked from different sources and put together — the electrical package is selected and commissioned together with the mechanical structure, so the control logic, the cycle timing and the machine movements line up with each other. It also means every component has a known brand and model, so sourcing a spare part later does not rely on guesswork.

The main body uses an “H” type frame with a solid worktable. Multi-cavity moulds place higher demands on table rigidity, and a solid table resists deformation under repeated stamping, which gives more consistent forming. Lubrication is a closed circuit: lubricant circulates inside the machine instead of being sprayed onto the tooling. That matters for the electrical side as well — with less oil mist in the air, the control cabinet and the control components sit in a cleaner environment.

On the operating side, the touch screen offers a multi-language interface and displays fault messages, and the system stores up to 60 sets of mould parameters. The worktable has a mould lifter arm and the table height is adjusted by a hydraulic pump, so one worker completes a mould change in about 15 minutes, and one operator can run the line in automated production. A complete line includes the foil decoiler and feeder, the 80-ton press, the mould lifter arm, the safety door, the scrap aspirator, the control cabinet and the stacker, and it runs both wrinkle wall and smooth wall container moulds.

1. H-type frame with a solid worktable — Multi-cavity moulds demand high table rigidity. With an “H” type frame and a solid worktable, the table resists deformation under repeated stamping, forming stays consistent, and the service life of the press is longer.
2. Electrical package selected as one set — The electrical system is not a part-by-part brand mix; it is fixed together with the mechanical structure. The benefit is direct: control logic, cycle timing and machine movements match each other, so commissioning does not involve constant compromise. When a component is replaced later, the drawing and model number correspond exactly — no parts that fit the specification but not the machine.
3. Mitsubishi PLC control system — The control core is a Mitsubishi PLC with a touch screen HMI. The interface supports Chinese, English, French and other languages, faults appear directly on screen, parameter adjustments are made on the touch screen, and the screen password can be changed. The system stores up to 60 sets of mould parameters and includes automatic counting.
4. ABB main motor — The main drive uses an ABB motor: stable output and good reliability in long, continuous production, with a known brand and model for maintenance and replacement rather than a non-standard part.
5. Schneider low voltage components and SMC pneumatics — Circuit breakers and contactors are Schneider components, which keeps the power and control circuits stable and makes replacement easy with parts that are readily available. The pneumatic side uses SMC and Airtac components.
6. Self-diagnosis with safety door interlock — When something is wrong, the machine stops automatically, alarms, and shows the specific fault on the touch screen — troubleshooting starts with reading the screen instead of testing item by item. A safety door stops the machine immediately if it is opened during production.
7. Closed lubrication benefits the electrics too — Lubricant circulates inside the machine instead of being sprayed onto the tooling, so oil mist and leakage in the workshop are clearly reduced and less oil is used. For the electrical side, the control cabinet and control components sit in a cleaner environment, which keeps routine cleaning and inspection lighter.
8. Whole-line electrical supply and overseas service — Feeder, press, mould, safety door, scrap aspirator, control cabinet and stacker are supplied as one matched line, with the electrical package from the same supplier, so wiring standards, parameter settings and commissioning follow one consistent process instead of being coordinated between several vendors. Focused on aluminium foil container equipment and moulds since 2010, with overseas installation and training support, a one-year warranty and long-term technical support.

The above is the standard configuration. The actual configuration is adjusted according to mould cavities, product size and local power supply standard; before ordering we confirm a configuration list based on your product plan.
