Compatible with all trim presses but specifically designed for both non-servo- and long-eject models, it is said to be ideal for handling lids, cups, bowls, and clamshells, Mantis reportedly can automate counting and separation of parts from any trim press machine and can reduce users labor requirements by up to 75% at the end of the trim press. 

 â–ª   BMG’s NextGen Controls: This is reportedly an intuitive, easy-to-use HMI platform that simplifies operations and reduces training requirements for new employees. Compatible with most existing servo-based BMG machines, the NextGen Controls platform will provide a common look and feel to all BMG brands and future products.
