Netstal Hall 24 Stand B62
The main exhibit from KraussMaffei brand Nestal will be production of insulin pen piston guides in POM on an 8.5s cycle using a 175 tonne Elion moulding machine. The all-electric machine will be running a
16-cavity mould made by Kebo of Switzerland. Accord- ing to Netstal, the free-programming capability of the Elion machine’s aXos control system allows it to optimise the complex mould core movements required to achieve the short cycle time. Netstal will also show production of a 13g thin wall
beaker in PS on a 2.3s cycle on a 120 tonne Elion machine fitted with a 2-cavity mould by SN Caulonques of France. Automation is supplied by Camptella and materials handling and cooling equipment by Moretto (both from Italy). ❙

Sepro Robotique Hall 22 Stand C61-D62
French robot maker Sepro Robotique will launch its Strong robot line in Milan, a more affordable series of robots designed for use on large moulding equipment up to 2,800 tonnes clamp force. According to the company, the Strong product line
makes the speed and precision of 3-axis servo robots available to users of large machines with pick-and- place or simple downstream automation requirements. All models in the range can be specified with a horizontal axis stroke of up to 10m, allowing the robot to be integrated to deposit parts beside or at the end of the moulding machine. The units can be supplied with Sepro’s basic Touch 2 or enhanced Visual 2 control. The Strong product line includes three models. The
Strong 40 is intended for machines from 700 to 1,000 tonnes and offers a 20kg payload, the Strong 50 is intended for machines from 1,000 to 1,600 tonnes and offers a 40kg payload, the Strong 60 is for machines from 1,600 to 2,800 tonnes and provides a 50kg payload. Visitors will also be able to see the company’s newly
introduced 7X and S7 robot lines, all of which offer longer kick strokes and larger payload capacities compared with the previous G4 models. ❙

strengthened structure. The updated ES-II robot is designed to offer flexible performance and simple programming at an affordable price. The S7 IML FlexSystem will be running on an
all-electric BMB eKW28Pi injection moulding machine producing 36.5g 1-litre oval ice cream containers decorated with a full-wrap IML label. The 2-cavity mould will be running on a cycle of less than 5s. Star Automation will also show an Lx-1500 robot
suitable for use on machines up to 700 tonne and an Fx-1500 high speed packaging unit, as well as a selection of end-of-arm tooling accessories from its EINS division. ❙
