Boy at Fakuma 2021:
Electromechanically operated ejector larger injection moulding machines
At Fakuma 2021 Boy will present an electromechanically operated ejector for its larger Boy 50 to Boy 125 injection moulding machines. The main features of the optionally available electromechanical ejector are an operating mode that is independent of the main drive of the injection moulding machine, adjustable speed profiles (up to 500 mm/s) with high accuracy and dynamics, and an exact track-positioning of the ejector with synchronisation of ejector and handling-movement.

With the introduction of a WLAN-stick Boy deals with the trend subject digitalisation. With this WLAN-stick Boy injection moulding machines with the Procan Alpha 4 control can be integrated into any network with Internet access much easier and without wired network connection. Equipped with the Boy-WLAN-stick the users make their Boy injection moulding machines network-compatible, i.e. complex installations are not necessary. Among other things remote monitoring becomes possible. After the user has enabled access to the machine control system, immediate assistance is possible by means of remote maintenance via VNC or programming environment via the Boy-repeater-server in Neustadt-Fernthal. Via the hotspot of a mobile end device the injection moulding machine is online via the WLAN-stick.
A further step towards the digitalisation of injection moulding machines is demonstrated with the Boy-software "Moulding Assist". With this intelligent assistant, injection moulding faults that have occurred can be identified. The digital assistant provides the user with solution suggestions to eliminate the injection moulding errors directly at the injection moulding machine. The corresponding setting pages of the Procan Alpha4 control are directly displayed to make troubleshooting easier for the user. If the production of impeccable parts restarts, the intelligent software system adopts the successful strategy and automatically adapts future solution proposals.
A Boy-cooling water-distribution with electronic flow quantity recording is demonstrated for the first time at the Boy-booth. The flow quantity set is digitally recorded and shown on the machine display. Target quantities and tolerances can be set, displayed and monitored. Boy intends to integrate this function as standard in all its injection moulding machines with Procan Alpha 4. In addition to the flow quantity a temperature display with process data monitoring is optionally available.
