Abstract

A mold tool includes: a first tool part and a second tool part that works together with the first tool part. In the closed state, the two tool parts are moved toward one another, and in the open state, the two tool parts are moved away from one another. The mold tool also includes a first mold half in the first tool part and a second mold half in the second tool part. The two mold halves reshape the sheet of material, arranged between the two tool parts, into at least one three-dimensional article when the two tool parts are moved toward one another. The mold tool also includes a cutting device including at least one cutting element and at least one actuating device. The actuating device extends the cutting element in the direction of the sheet of material, to cut the sheet of material.

Abstract

A molding tool (1000), in particular a thermoforming tool, for producing a container (10) is provided. The molding tool comprises a mold bottom (200) and a mold insert (100) receiving the mold bottom (200), wherein the mold insert (100) is constructed of at least two mold insert parts (110, 120) that together with the mold bottom (200) define a cavity (300) provided for reshaping a two-dimensional web of material into a container, wherein a first mold insert part (110) is mounted stationary in the molding tool (1000) and a second mold insert part is axially movable in the molding tool (1000).

Abstract

A thermoforming mould for producing cup-shaped articles from a heated film of plastic is provided. The thermoforming mould comprises a first mould part and a second mould part which are movable in relation to one another, wherein at least one cavity for moulding a cup-shaped article is formed in one of the two mould parts. The thermoforming mould also comprises a measuring device which is designed to determine a tilting of the first mould part and the second mould part with respect to one another. Furthermore, a thermoforming machine comprising the thermoforming mould and also a method for determining a tilting between a first mould part and a second mould part of a thermoforming mould are provided.
