Smart Molding International 3-2022

23 machinery www.smart-molding.com B OY will present the enhance- ment of its successful compact machine with a clamping force of 100 kN. Thus the new BOY XS E is the successor of the globally success- ful BOY XS, which has been used for a continuous industrial operation in many industries since 2009. Themain difference between the BOY XS E and its predecessor model is the servo-motor pump drive. The efficient drive concept of the E-series from BOY thus covers its entire clamping force range from 100 kN to a maximum of 1,250 kN. "In addition to the energy benefits provided by the drive tech- nology of the E-series, the servo drive of the new BOY XS E also scores with its high dynamics and an extremely smooth running," reports Martin Kaiser, Head of Technology at BOY. According to his statements, the modified BOY in- jectionmouldingmachine offers amore ergonomic and service-friendly design as well as a significantly improved ac- cessibility. Amongst others an extract- able drawer has been integrated into the front side of the machine frame for service and cleaning purposes. The BOY XS E is available with two different clamping platen configura- tions; in the standard-design for con- ventional mould sizes up to 160 mm (diagonally up to 205 mm clear space between the tie bars) as well as with a special 75 x 75 mm mould holder for micro moulds from many well-known standard manufacturers. The specialist for injection moulding machines with clamping forces of up to 1,250 kN will present both designs of the BOY XS E at its booth. Another advantage of the BOY XS E in terms of application tech- nology is the 25 mm height-adjustable injection unit, which enables decentra- lised injection. At the K 2022, the BOY XS E will be presented with a new screen visuali- sation. The ALPHA 6 appears in 16:9 screen format and is equipped with additional functions, such as an indi- vidually adjustable (Widget-) library as well as a modified presentation of the symbols on the user interface. With this new visualisation, users of previ- ous BOY machine controls wont’t have any problems in getting around with it, as the basic concept has been rmain- tained. For example, previous data sets from the previous Procan ALPHA 4 are compatible for the transfer into the new ALPHA 6. The equipment of the BOY XS E is supplemented by a cooling water distribution system with digital flow measurement, which will be offered as standard for all BOY injection moulding machines in the future. The cooling wa- ter distribution system developed by BOY can be optionally expanded and can be equipped with a temperature recording. This data can also be record- ed into the process data collection of the control system. Optionally a socket distribution (triple) can be integrated. The space-saving integration of sprue and removal pickers under the protec- tive housing is just as much a part of the variety of equipment as well as the rear removal handling with parts transport planned for K 2022. At the BOY booth one of the two BOY XS E will produce an egg cup made of NAS 30. The egg cups will be removed from the mould via removal handling and placed on a conveyor belt. The second BOY XS E with microform- plate design (mould holder 75 x 75 mm) will produce a mounting bolt made of PP. After 13 years of BOY XS, the medi- um-sized machine manufacturer devel- oped the successor model just at the right time. The BOY XS E meets the increased demands for high efficiency, energy-saving machines and a sustain- able and resource-saving design.
