BMB showcasing new all-electric IM solutions

BMB SpA (Brescia, Italy) will be in Hall 13, Stand A33, to demonstrate how BMB has anticipated market demands and, in cooperation with its customers, has invested heavily in R&D to provide high-performance solutions. The company’s growth in all-electric machine designs has given the company the opportunity to focus on production cells capable of operating at extremely fast cycle times, while offering precision and energy reduction of between 45% and 60% on a rugged, reliable platform.
 

Now, BMB offers a range of all-electric machinery from 70 to 800 tons for packaging applications. The conversion from traditional hydraulic to electric drives offers not only performance, but also elevated speed and accuracy levels, and simplicity of operation on a compact platform.
 

The BMB technical team can provide customer support to customers anywhere around the world through the ability to remotely access the machines, thanks to the built-in software (RDP – Remote Desktop Protocol). This is a service provided at no cost to the customer, no licensing fee.
