Air cell lockup high pressure forming is done with machinery specifically designed for this process. This technique extends both platens, locking them to each other, then inflating air cells under a floating plate attached to the bottom platen. MAAC Shuttle Pressure Formers feature our heaviest and most accurate, “zero deflection” motor driven platens and are available with multiple control system options.
