A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT TO BEGIN 2017

December 21 , 2016

New Castle, Delaware 12/21/2016

2016 was another excellent year for Negri Bossi, both in the North American market and globally. Group sales were up 15% on 2015 and this has allowed us to continue with our investment plans for additional personnel, facilities and new products in our primary markets.

In 2017, Negri Bossi North America will build a new technical center in Michigan. This facility will accommodate a sales office, warehouse and showroom where the Negri Bossi and Sytrama products will be available for demonstration. This facility also compliments the recent addition of MI, OH and IL based service technicians, along with a new direct salesperson in the IL/WI territory.

New products that made their debut at K2016 in October are now available in North America. We have high expectations for the Canbio ST range of machines and I am pleased to announce that 2017 will see the launch of several more exciting new products. Stay tuned!

We have a positive feeling about our prospects for 2017 and are confident that we will continue to grow our business. Of course, this would not be possible without the continued support of you, our customers. So I take this opportunity to thank all our employees, customers, stakeholders and friends for your continued commitment to Negri Bossi. It is this support, combined with a clear determination that we provide the plastics industry with quality equipment and excellent after-sales support, which will lead to a bigger, better and more profitable future for us all.

NEGRI BOSSI OFFERS THE NEW CANBIO ST SERVO-PUMP INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE LINE EQUIPPED WITH NEW TACTUS™ TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLLER

August 4 , 2016

NEW CASTLE (DE), 08/04/2016

The all new CANBIO ST from Negri Bossi was built to exceed all expectations in the servo-pump hydraulic powered injection molding machine class. The CANBIO ST combines accuracy, efficiency, and dependability due to the advanced technology improvements, which include the new GH4 series pumps from Bosch-Rexroth in conjunction with leading edge three-phase synchronous motors and drive from Baumuller.

A result of the new servo-pump design greatly reduces energy waste, lowers sound levels to 50dBa (comparable to a normal conversation), and is remarkably accurate. The hydraulic system optimizes the reduction of oil thermal stress generated by oil flow during movements, and also turns the pump on standby resulting in high energy efficiency. The system’s halved response times allow for faster and more accurate loop regulation, and an improved pressure overshoot control that minimizes material waste, which keeps part production costs down.

The CANBIO ST is fitted with the new TACTUS™ touchscreen controller equipped with resistive technology – a touchscreen that can be used even when wearing gloves – and Powerlink communication. The 21.5″ TFT LC display has a 1920×1080 resolution and features a fully industrial screen that can withstand the abuse of the industry’s harshest environments. An IP54 protective enclosure keeps the electronics safe from dust, moisture, and other contaminants that could lead to a premature electronic failure.

The Powerlink offers fast communication speeds of only 2 milliseconds as opposed to other systems which communicate at the rate of 4-8 milliseconds. The ergonomic design gives a 43% increase in screen real-estate from previous Negri Bossi controllers, features configurable options keys for quick selection, as well as a Favorites function. A synoptic dashboard displays machine information and vitals, and provides the ability to monitor previous and actual cycle visualization for immediate improvements of cycle settings.

The Negri Bossi AMICO monitoring software is a standard feature (US and Canada) for remote real-time machine monitoring, parameter modification, I/O configuring, production reporting, software version upgrades, and more.

MACRO PLASTICS COMMISSIONS TWO NEW NEGRI BOSSI BI-POWER MACHINES FOR EXPANDED PE CONTAINER PRODUCTION

April 20 , 2016

NEW CASTLE (DE), 04/20/2016

Negri Bossi North America has recently commissioned two Bi-Power injection molding machines at Macro Plastics (Shelbyville, KY). The 2000-tonne (2200 US tons) and 3500-tonne (3850 US tons) Bi-Power injection molding machines are paired with two Negri Bossi Sytrama 301G integrated Cartesian servo robots to ensure a seamless turnkey molding solution. The machines have been installed in order to handle increased demand for bulk materials handling products.

The two machine cells are the first to be installed at the Kentucky facility and represent a significant investment for Macro Plastics. According to Jeff Mitchell, Macro Plastics Vice President of Operations, “We selected Negri Bossi for this project because of our six-year satisfactory experience with their machines and robots at our Fairfield, California plant, and in particular because of the ease with which the equipment can be configured to meet our particular molding requirements. We know that we can always count on Negri Bossi, their support staff has always been very helpful and quick to address our issues.”

The Bi-Power is highly modular two-platen clamp, hybrid power injection molding machine available in models from 1000- to 7000-tonne (1100 to 7700 US ton) with injection capacities (oz. PS) ranging from 104.4 to 2641.5 (x1 injection unit 1000- to 7000-tonne models) and also 4134.1 to 5282.9 (x2 injection units on 7000-tonne model) across the line. Machines are extremely compact featuring a robust twin cylinder injection unit, yet feature generous tie bar spacing and long ejector strokes. The moving platen rides on precision slideways and features a “hydroblock” tie bar locking system for excellent reliability and faster dry cycle times. The electric screw drive ensures efficiency and energy savings, allowing overlapping movements resulting in faster cycle times.

Tony Firth, President of Negri Bossi North America is excited to continue the partnership with Macro Plastics as they expand their injection molding capabilities in the Shelbyville plant. According to Mr. Firth, “The Bi-Power line is a proven product, producing excellent results over the long term. We stand behind everything we offer, and partner with our customers to ensure that we provide full support services to help them succeed. We appreciate the opportunity to continue our support of Macro Plastics as they expand molding operations to Kentucky.”

Installation of the new Bi-Power presses and Sytrama robots was completed in March 2016.
