Product Features of the TH-710EU PLC Control Mini Heavy-duty Walled Sole Attaching Machine
PLC Control and Computer Screen Settings for Precision
- User-friendly Interface: The TH-710EU features a modern computer screen interface that allows operators to set, monitor, and adjust parameters with ease. This centralized control significantly reduces setup time and avoids operator errors.
- Programmable Stop Points: Using PLC control, stop points on the machine can be quickly programmed and adjusted externally without halting production. This capability ensures rapid adaptation to different shoe sizes and sole styles.
- Efficient Pressure Adjustment: All movements on the machine incorporate pressure adjustment functions, with handles conveniently positioned at the front of the machine table. This allows operators to make fine-tuned real-time adjustments, guaranteeing even pressing and consistent adhesion.
- Multi-Functional Pressing: The machine can complete bottom pressing, edge pressing, and front and back pressing either simultaneously or independently, offering flexibility for complex sole shapes and customer requirements.
- Compact Design: Despite its heavy-duty function, the machine’s space-saving footprint (10063196 cm) makes it ideal for factories with limited floor area, optimizing production space usage.
Hydraulic System and Robust Mechanical Details
- Full Hydraulic Operation: The TH-710EU uses a hydraulic system delivering oil pressure at 40kg/m³ powered by a 1.5kW pump, providing strong, stable, and even pressing force to ensure durable sole adhesion.
- Side Pressing Blocks: Equipped with 16 or 24 side pressing rubbers, each with a height of 80mm, the machine exerts uniform pressure around the sole edge. This configuration enhances the bonding strength and improves the aesthetics of the sole attachment.
- Automatic Edge Pressing Balance: The edge pressing blocks feature intelligent automatic balancing between left and right feet, pressing from all directions. This feature enhances molding precision, reducing deformation and producing higher quality finished shoes.
- Adjustable Band Distance: The distance of the pressing band can be adjusted in two sections to accommodate various shoe lasts within a width range of 140mm, length 130–400mm, and height below 190mm, including sole edge heights up to 80mm.
- Weighing 513kg: The machine’s sturdy build ensures stability and reliability in continuous production environments, minimizing vibrations and operational disruption.
