Dr. Boy went big at the K 2025 by introducing an entirely new line of small injection molding machines, the company’s first all-electric molding machines. 

The four machines in the series range from the Boy 35 Electric, with about 39 tons of clamping force, to the Boy 100 Electric, with about 102 tons of clamping force. There also are 55-ton and 88-ton models. 

All have electromechanical drives for injection, dosing and ejection. Dr. Boy said the new series has outstanding dynamics, precise position detection and shorter cycle times. 

The injection unit has been redesigned and features patented back pressure measurement. Dr. Boy developed a dynamic pressure measurement system that monitors the force transmitted to the screw with a force sensor, then sends data to the control system to be analyzed. 

The presses have a two-platen clamping unit that is free of oil and lubricants in the molding area. 

The electromechanical ejector delivers precise movement without stick-slip, both at full loads and slower operations.

The Boy 35 Electric has an 11-inch-by-10-inch distance between the tie bars. The Boy 100 Electric has a distance of about 17 inches by 14 inches. A trip chute is accessible from three sides to make part removal easier.

The new series uses Dr. Boy’s Procan Alpha 6 control. 

All four machines have a small footprint. The Boy 35 Electric has a footprint of less than 24 square feet. The largest in the series, the Boy 100 Electric, has a footprint of just 43 square feet. 

A Boy 50 Electric was running at K 2025 with an LR 5 linear robot fully integrated into the molding machine’s control system. This lets the robot act as an integral part of the molding machine. Benefits include an automatic link between the press and robot data set, a common alarm system and event logging that simplifies fault diagnosis.

In addition to the new all-electric series, Dr. Boy debuted the Boy 20 E Pro, the successor to the Boy 22 A Pro.  

The new model is a hybrid press and has the same performance but uses significantly less energy due to the addition of modern servo-drive technology. 

Plasticizing units are from 12mm to 32mm. 

The Boy 20 E Pro has 24 tons of clamping force. It uses Dr. Boy’s Procan Alpha 4 controller and has integrated hot-runner control. 

A company spokesman said the Boy 20 E Pro is designed to be competitively priced.   

The Boy 22 series was launched in1968, and more than 25,000 are in use around the world, according to the company.
