BOY to launch insert moulding machine with increased clamping force

BOY is to offer a new version of its insert moulding machine with an increased clamping force of 600Kn.

The BOY 60 EVV machine, which will be available at the end of 2020, will take over the previous 550Kn model to become BOY’s largest vertical injection moulding machine.

“The increased clamping force is initially only available for the BOY 60 EVV with injection unit SP 215 (maximum stroke volume of 166.3 cm3)” explained Martin Kaiser, Head of Mechanical Design at BOY.

BOY’s three smaller injection units – SP 56, SP 69 and SP 82 – will also be available for this model, according to Kaiser. Overmoulding of insert components of different sizes is easily possible with a total of eight different screw diameters, he added.

The four-tie bar BOY 60 E VV offers a table height of 975 mm and access to the mould from all four sides.

It also features dimensions of 3.21 m² and plenty of space on the rear machine frame for peripheral devices and accessory equipment, which BOY says offers a wide range of integration options for automation devices.

An energy-efficient servo drive and the high-end control ‘Procan ALPHA’ are also offered as standard on the BOY 60 E VV. The BOY-EconPlast plasticizing unit is available as an option starting from a screw diameter of 18 mm.
