Injection Molding Machines and IML Robots

Negri Bossi Vector Injection Molding Machine

HIGH PERFORMANCE TOGGLE TECHNOLOGY

Powerful • Precise • Efficient

The VECTOR Series are 5-point double toggle clamp, hybrid injection moulding machines available in 650-, 800-, 1100-, 1100WP- and 1300-tonne models.
