In-the-Round Plate Imaging

Creo has thought out the entire in-the-round (ITR) workflow and shows the ThermoFlex in a production hub of auxiliary equipment, which includes a pre-mounter, cutting table, and pedestal loader. Sleeve mandrels, which consist of a universal arbor and multiple lightweight mandrel shells of different repeat sizes, are installed in the machine with the aid of an inexpensive lift. Successive sleeves are then loaded/unloaded onto the cantilevered mandrels directly in the machine. When the repeat size changes, a new mandrel shell can be installed in just a few minutes.
