Eight cells for injection moulding

High tech solutions, applications with fully renewed design capable of meeting every possible production requirement: this is how the Negri Bossi group aims at presenting its very latest innovations at K 2013 in Düsseldorf. On an 800-sqm stand (hall 15, stand B22) entirely dedicated to injection, the company will showcase no less than 8 integrated production centres featuring machines with 2-platen and toggle-clamp injection technology, all equipped with Smart Energy devices to contain consumption.
To start things off, there will be a 650-ton version of the evergreen Vector series with integrated robot, set up with a mould for polycarbonate headlight reflector dishes. Another icon of the Negri Bossi range will be also showcased: a Canbio 210 equipped with a mould for automotive heat shield caps in PA66 filled with 25% of glassfibre; this unit, like the former, will also feature an integrated Sytrama robot. All the machines in the 160-500-ton range are equipped with the new Smart Flex clamping units with optimised structural rigidity and V-rails to guide the mobile platen, creating an oil-free moulding zone.
Moreover, the full electric version of the Vesta 300 will be also on show: in addition to the Smart Flex clamping unit, it also features the new actuator with ultra-rapid ball bearing screw to meet the specific needs of the packaging and medical industries, which require a short cycle time. Another solution designed for the medical sector is the electric version of the Eleos 65, an extremely compact 2-platen machine that moulds a polypropylene syringe component; besides, an EOS 120 hydraulic version with inverter on the variable-capacity pump will be exhibited in the LSR version.
In addition, the base of the injection machine "pyramid" will be represented by the excellent Sintesi Global machine, belonging to the BM Biraghi brand, the Negri Bossi group's entry level solution for technical moulding.
To demonstrate Negri Bossi's technical capacity to provide turnkey solutions, the range on show at K 2013 will be completed by an integrated PET test tube moulding centre, based on the Janus hybrid series and equipped with a 32-cavity Gefit mould and a Piovan pellet treatment system.
The Negri Bossi stand will showcase Sytrama's new Cartesian S-series manipulators. Extremely fast and precise, these are suitable for even the most difficult applications (e.g. IML).
And, last but not least, the new Bi-Power VH 1000 will be on show, the smallest in the 2-platen range which has allowed Sacmi, over the years, to become a key partner in the international automotive, environmental, large-scale packaging and construction industries.
These machines combine power, performance and energy saving and are able to mould "one step" articles of wide dimensions and complex design with reduced cycle time.
