PL4100 Vacuum-assisted positioning and moulding system
What is the PL4100?
The PL4100 is a vacuum-assisted positioning and moulding machine for leather goods production.
It uses controlled suction, custom moulds and dedicated templates to hold, shape and position components during preparation and assembly.
THE POWER OF AIR
The PL4100 uses controlled vacuum suction to keep moulds and components firmly in place, helping manufacturers shape, position, and assemble leather goods with greater accuracy, less manual effort and repeatable results.
Three independent vacuum zones
The PL4100 is equipped with three vacuum zones that can operate together or independently. Operators can activate each zone with buttons or foot pedals, keeping both hands free for precise positioning and assembly.
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3
Bag assembly made easier
With dedicated templates developed for each product, the PL4100 helps operators position, shape and assemble bag components with greater speed and accuracy. The vacuum system keeps the parts stable during the process, reducing manual adjustments and making complex assembly steps easier to control.
Custom moulds and templates
We develop custom 3D templates and moulds tailored to your products, production process and assembly needs.
If your facility already has a 3D printer, we can provide the digital files so you can produce the moulds in-house.
Alternatively, teams with the required expertise in 3D design and printing can develop and print their own moulds independently.
Best for
PL4100 will fit you best in the following cases:
-
Leather component positioning
-
Assembling irregular shapes.
-
2D and 3D moulding
-
Repeatable production operations
-
Preparing parts before stitching or gluing
3D Mould Production in 3 Steps
DXF File Provided by the Customer
The process starts with a DXF file supplied by the customer. This file contains the exact geometry of the component and serves as the foundation for the mould design.
Mold Design & Engineering
Based on the DXF file, our engineering team creates the 3D mould. A physical sample is recommended, as it helps verify the shape, function and application before production.
STL Export & 3D Printing
Once the design is approved, the mould is exported as an STL file and produced using 3D printing. The final mould is then checked, tested and adjusted if needed before use.
Elastic latex membrane cover
The PL4100 uses an elastic latex membrane cover to seal the component at the final stage of the 2D moulding process.
Its high elasticity allows it to adapt to different shapes, including irregular and complex geometries, ensuring stable pressure, precise forming and consistent results.
The latex cover has a long service life and is supplied as a replaceable consumable.
Features
The advantages of PL4100
The PL4100 enables faster and more precise moulding, positioning, assembly, and processing of leather components using custom-developed moulds and templates.
Innovation that improves the process
The PL4100 helps operators mould, position and assemble leather components faster and with greater control – even in complex production steps.
Higher productivity
Faster preparation, easier positioning and more controlled assembly help improve the overall efficiency of the production process.
Repeatable results
Dedicated moulds and templates make it possible to repeat the same operation with consistent shape, positioning and quality.
Less operator dependence
By reducing manual adjustments, the PL4100 makes complex assembly steps easier to manage and helps maintain consistent quality across different operators.
