Smart Molding International 1-2020

8 newsfeed smart_molding interna ti onal 1/2020 Up to now the maximum plas ti cizing volume for the machine types men ti oned has been 10.2 cm³, but from the middle of this year the two injec ti on moulding ma- chines will have a maximum stroke volume of 15.3 cm³ as standard. An extended screw stroke at a screw diameter of 18 mm and an injec ti on force increased by 25 % makes this possible. Thus, the compact BOY XS (100 kN clamping force / 0.77 m² footprint) and the BOY XXS (63 kN / 0.89 m² footprint) have a significantly wider range of injec ti on volumes in comparison to other machines in this clamp- ing force class. These two BOY injection moulding machines do not use the piston plasticizing that is customary for this machine size, but instead rely on a screw plasticizing from 8 to 18 mm according to the " fi rst in fi rst out" principle. Maximum, speci fi c injec ti on pressures of up to 3128 bar are available. The proven design is ide- ally tailored to the indus- trial requirements of micro injec ti on moulding. In order to achieve a maximum con- serva ti on of resources, BOY is pushing for an almost sprueless part production with cost-effective single- cavity moulds. The diversity of the plas- ticizing units allows the processing of bio-based compounds in addition to the common plas ti cs such as thermoplastic (screw diameter 8mm to 18mm), elastomers (screw diameter 16mm) and silicone/LSR. Dr. Boy www.dr-boy.de INglass announces the sale of 100% of INEVO to Luigi Cover, owner of CST Stampi and Roberto Fagarazzi, Sales Director of the INglassmould division, since 2015. INEVO is the new name of the INglass mould division that started as INCOS in 1987. INCOS, focused since the beginning on injection moulds manufacturing for the car lighting market and the glazing technology. Maurizio Bazzo, President and Founder of INglass, states: “The sale of INEVO will allow Inglass to entirely focus on the HRSflow hot runner business, a market that requires continuous innovation and investments in order to satisfy the increasingly demanding needs of the injection moulding industry”. Luigi Cover, Ceo of INEVO states: “We are proud of this acquisition. INEVO has been chosen due to its deep knowledge of the lighting mould market and its high innovation skills in the production of new components for the smart mobility. At the same time the synergies with CST Stampi, both in design and manufacturing, will allow us to be a perfect partner for all the markets that require cutting edge technology “. The just signed company transfer represents the completion of the process of total separation between the hot runner systems HRSflow division and the lighting mold division.
