Injection Molding Machine

Injected parts showed reproducible weight constancy At the German Rubber Conference (DKT) in Nuremberg, BOY presented the processing of Elastomers and Silicones on two BOY Injection Moulding Machines. In particular, the application on the BOY XS with UV-cross-linked two-component-liquid Silicone was well received by trade visitors. The small 8 mm screw-piston-plasticizing-unit of the BOY XS allows a high dosing accuracy for smallest shot volumes for the micro injection moulding of Silicone. At the German Rubber Conference (DKT) the injected parts with 0.06 cm 3 shot volume showed precise and reproducible-accurate weight constancy. The small-size LSR-sealing rings cross-linked only in the transparent mould cavities under UV- light. At this lower temperature level, even thin-walled components or long flow- paths do not pose any problems when processing the two-component Silicone. In cooperation with the University of Kassel, the company EMT Dosiertechnik, the EMDE Industrietechnik and BOY, this processing method has been optimized. BOY's presence at the German Rubber Conference 2018 was complemented by an Elastomer application on a BOY 35 E. The compact, four-tie-bar Injection Moulding Machine produced o- rings which were removed from the mould after each shot by an integrated brushing device. Andreas Scheideler, BOY Sales Manager Germany, was highly satisfied with the presence of BOY at this trade fair: "The presence at this internationally important Elastomer-event was absolutely justified. The high level of interest in the applications presented and the many expert discussions confirmed that we are also well positioned in this segment. We could convey this clearly in Nuremberg." According to the machine manufacturer, located in Neustadt-Fernthal, the processing of Silicone has been one of its “specialties” for many years. With long-term partner-companies BOY has gained a very good reputation in this sector worldwide. About Dr. Boy Dr. Boy GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading worldwide manufacturers of injection moulding machines with clamping forces up to 1,000 kN. The very compact, durable machines work precise, energy-saving and therefore highly economical. BOY continually sets new standards in our industry with innovative concepts and solutions. Since the company was founded in 1968 nearly 50,000 Injection Moulding Machines have been delivered worldwide. The privately owned company continues to put special emphasis on engineered performance and high-class "made in Germany" workmanship. BOY-booth at the German Rubber Conference (DKT) 2018 in Nuremberg
