Smart Molding International 2-2022

23 machinery www.smart-molding.com the possibility of simultaneous opera- tion. Rotational and axial movements of the new electro-mechanically driven unit are carried out independently of the machine hydraulics by two servo motors. This is particularly advantageous for short cycle times and high dosing volumes. With an optional second servo pump, all other movements of the injection moulding process can be controlled and performed simultane- ously. On the subject of the increasing de- gree of automation in this industry, BOY will present at its booth a large num- ber of exhibits with integrated handling devices. While the BOY handling unit LR 5 has so far mainly been used for the parts removal from the mould, BOY will demonstrate at K 2022 that the handling unit can also be used for other applications. In the interaction between a BOY 35 E VV overmoulding machine, an additional input terminal as well as the LR 5 handling device and a further assembly automation, metal insert parts are overmoulded into T-shaped handles, then removed from the mould with the LR 5 and supplied to an assembly automation. Here, the four Bit-inlays individually selected by the visitor are inserted into the plastic grip. The LR 5 then places the assembled sets on a conveyor belt and the visitor receives his individually assembled tool set. Company profile Dr. Boy GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading worldwide manufacturers of injection moulding machines with clamping forces up to 1,250 kN. The very compact, durable machines work precisely, energy-saving and thus highly economically. With innovative con- cepts and solutions, BOY has proved itself again and again as a trendset- ter. Automation, digitalisation as well as sustainability and CO2 savings are particularly in focus. Since the com- pany was founded in 1968 more than 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.
