BILLION GROWS THROUGH CUSTOMER FOCUSSED INNOVATION French injection moulding machine manufacturer, BILLION, is flourishing since its takeover by Korbinian Keisl, just seven years ago. Since this time, the company has introduced the now well known SELECT range of all-electric, highly energy efficient machines
from 40 to 600T, including twin shot versions, which are very much part of the heritage at BILLION. Customers have been highly satisfied with the performance, reliability and outstanding efficiency of the machines with proven case studies showing real energy
0T in Shot 20 Select Tw
savings of 60 – 70% across a broad range of applications. The launch of the new 550T / 600T SELECT — first displayed at K2013 — with MINIMAX maintains the energy efficiency and performance balance and sets the platform for development of even larger machines in the range. SELECT now accounts for 50% of the BILLION sales volume in the 40 – 400T capacity, with initial sales of the new 550T / 600T also strong, including significant sales in the UK. Everyone within BILLION knows that the company exists because of its customers, so the focus is always on developing service, machines and processes, which are designed to perfectly suit customer applications and provide organic growth.

NEW SERIES OF ELECTRIC MACHINES FOR THE INJECTION MOULDING OF THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS WITH A REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT BMB is a leading manufacturer of injection moulding machines, committed to the development and application of innovative technical solutions. BMB specialise in design, manufacture and supply of injection moulding machines to transform thermoplastic resins to produce parts suitable for many varied applications, traditionally with hydraulic drives and now with energy efficient all-electric technology, an Archimedean screw and with the mould closing and opening system with horizontal tie bars to complete the technical make-up of a fast, accurate, reliable, energy efficient machine. Market leading technology (such as the ‘World patented’
double toggle system model KW), that allow the end user considerable competitive technical and economic advantages are synonymous with the BMB name. In fact, thanks to the unique patented toggle design, all-electric machines are now available up to 2,200 tonnes. In recent times, with the impact of higher energy costs and increased focus on the environmental impact of production methods, combined with market
globalisation and stronger competition between moulding companies, there is a demand to offer machines characterised by high technical performance in terms of speed, precision and flexibility but with significantly reduced energy consumption. To this end, BMB offers a series of technological developments which lead to the realization of an innovative range of full-electric machines, designated as “series eKW”.

ENGEL UK - THE 7 DAY SERVICE OPERATION Engel manufactures injection moulding machines and automation, and is known for the capability to deliver integrated system solutions for bespoke applications. In the UK, Engel is the market leader in terms of the value and number of machines sold. Operating solely in injection moulding, and with manufacturing in 8 production plants across Europe, North America and Asia, Engel turns over more than EUR1 billion making it the largest such manufacturer. The Engel brand is synonymous with the unique tiebarless clamp system, which has been in the market now for more than 25 years with over 50,000 machines in operation worldwide. The principle advantage of having no
ENGEL tiebarless clamp unit tiebars is the ability to fit larger moulds within a given machine size. There are also numerous secondary benefits, such as a complete freedom for automation solutions, faster mould change times, and a lower crane height necessary to load the tool. Engel also leads the way in terms of large tonnage machines for automotive and packaging applications. Available with clamping force up to 5,500 tonnes, the Duo range was introduced
in 1992 as the first 2 platen design on the market. Now with the new Hybrid Ecodrive system, it offers significantly reduced manufacturing costs through minimizing energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption is foremost in most company’s plans. Here again, Engel offers technology leadership with comprehensive ranges of fully-electric machines for both standard and high speed applications up to a clamping force of 650 tonnes. Engel UK can also be proud of its aftersales service. Since May 2015, the service department at its headquarters in Warwick has opened its doors during weekends, with the field service team scheduled over 7 days instead of 5.

Short cycle times, consistent parts quality ROBOSHOT takes 60 years of world-beating CNC knowhow and applies it to electric injection moulding. The results are greater acceleration, incredibly precise movements and extremely short cycle times to produce large quantities of consistently high quality parts. Energy consumption is also extremely low and, because all FANUC products share one common control platform, ROBOSHOT is easily combined with robots.

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP COMES AS STANDARD Fanuc has been manufacturing all electric injection moulding machines since 1984. Unlike all of the other injection moulding machine manufacturers in the world, who started and based their technologies and control systems on hydraulic machines, Fanuc injection moulding machines were designed based on their advanced CNC control and servo drive technologies, which they have been market leaders in for over 50 years. The Roboshot comes as standard with many advanced features to allow customers to know that when it comes to repeatability, stable and accurate moulding conditions, the Roboshot is a clear choice.
real time and at every point of the moulding cycle. • Advanced mould and ejector safety to protect the mould, reduce scrap and increase productivity • Precise metering control to improve shot to shot repeatability, reduce moulding defects and stringing • Class leading energy efficiency making the FANUC Roboshot extremely economical to run.
All of the above facts are widely known in the injection moulding community and ensure that the Roboshot is greatly admired and respected for its performance and manufacturing capabilities. What is perhaps less well known is that the Roboshot offers amazing value for money, not only for the abilities described above, but also because it offers an extremely low cost of ownership.
These advanced features include: • Artificial Intelligence to offer the most advanced accurate control system for the moulding process in
