Oh Boy: Nine New Machines for Boy at K
July 26, 2010
Germany-based injection moulding specialist BOY will have plenty to offer at K 2010, with nine new BOY XS machines on display during the exhibition.
According to the company, these machines can produce small parts with injection volumes between 0.1 cm³ and 8 cm³ in an automatic, precise and efficient way. The BOY XS series of machines are available in horizontal or vertical configurations. The space requirements are 0.8 m² or 0.6 m².
In addition to being compact, the series has been designed to allow the integration of peripheral devices and handling equipment without the requirement of additional floor space, including devices used for drying, conveying and colouring. A new control device on the BOY XS also allows for the placement and removal of parts.
The machine assures the production of parts according to ISO 14644-1 (class 6/1000) cleanroom standards, which ensures sanitary cleanliness of the surrounding air. Micro-parts from biomedical engineering with injection volumes under 0.1 cm³ can be produced with sprueless injection.
Additionally, the machine has the ability to process different types of materials, including thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, liquid silicone rubber (LSR), MIM (metal injection moulding), PEEK and hot melts.
Another focus for BOY during K 2010 will be the BOY E-series of energy efficient machines.
