These improvements are designed to streamline installation, reduce downtime and elevate overall system performance. Dr. Boy GmbH & Co.

This marks a significant step towards even greater efficiency and user-friendliness in production. The LR 5 is not just another robot; it's a full integration into the injection moulding machine's central control system. 48 27 Transparency is an essential part of Bell’s corporate philosophy, with the main emphasis not so much on the transparent plastic materials which take up the lion’s share of the company’s production, but rather on transparent communication directed towards consumers. Only particularly energy-efficient machinery and equipment are admitted to the company’s injection molding floor, such as the IMMs, robots and dryers from WITTMANN.
