Vacuum Heated Tooling Plate
The Vacuum Heated Tooling Plate option holds a part on the tooling plate and supplies
controlled heating underneath the part. This feature improves fluid flow control and
dispensing accuracy. A silicone rubber-resistive element pad heats an aluminum tooling
plate. The temperature of the tooling plate is controlled by FMW software and/or the
HT-2000 Controller. (When using FMDOS, only the temperature controller can operate
the heater.)
The Vacuum Heated Tooling Plate is shown in Figure 13-3. The Temperature Controller is
shown in Figure 13-4.
