Negri Bossi Launch NOVA eT Range at NPE2018

Following a highly successful European launch, NPE 2018 will be the platform to launch the Negri Bossi NOVA eT all-electric machine range to the North American market.
A NOVA eT 180-630 machine will be used to demonstrate the ability to combine energy efficiency with fast cycle times. Key markets have been identified as Medical and Packaging. A four-cavity food container lid, with in-mold labelling (IML), will be produced in a cycle time of just three seconds.
The machine on the NPE booth will be paired with a high-speed side entry robot supplied by Negri Bossi sister company, Sytrama.
The NOVA eT is Negri Bossi’s fourth-generation all electric machine, already available in models from 50 to 350 tonnes.
The serie, made up of 9 all-electric models, is equipped with the ‘Smart Flex 2’ toggle system benefits from 70 years of experience and design evolution, while linear runners with self-lubricating bearings on the moving platen, ensure cleanliness of the die area, making them perfect for cleanroom environments.
The toggle has 5 clamping units, with chromed plated tie-bars driven by an electric servodrive. It is equipped with automatic die thickness and clamping self-adjustment and is built to ensure greater precision and compactness. The NOVA eT serie is all electric and the recycled bowl-screws are grease lubricated. Lubrication is completely automatically. The linear bearings are on prismatic
guides, with no friction and precise speeds.
