General Overview - The Highest-Tonnage Solution in the BOY Electric Series
The BOY 100 Electric is positioned as the highest-tonnage model within the BOY Electric series, offering a clamping force of 1000 kN. While preserving the compact design philosophy of classic small and mid-tonnage BOY machines, it is specifically developed for applications requiring larger molds and higher shot volumes.
The core engineering concept of the BOY Electric series is the use of fully electric drives for injection, screw rotation (dosing), and ejector axes, combined with a robust and energy-efficient servo-hydraulic clamping unit. This clearly defined hybrid architecture brings together high dynamics and long-term process stability.
Clamping Unit - 1000 kN Two-Platen Cantilever Design
The BOY 100 Electric is equipped with a two-platen, cantilever-type clamping unit. This design provides a large mold space, easy automation integration, and excellent operator accessibility.
Clamping unit technical data:
- Clamping force: 1000 kN
- Tie-bar spacing (horizontal × vertical): 430 × 360 mm
- Maximum daylight between platens: 725 mm
- Maximum adjustable mold opening stroke: 475 mm
- Minimum mold height: 250 mm

- 38 mm
- 42 mm
Injection unit technical data:
- Maximum theoretical stroke volume:
- 77 cm³ (28 mm)

These values ensure homogeneous melt flow and stable filling, even for large-volume parts and applications requiring high filling speeds.
All-Electric Ejector System (E-Ejector)
The BOY 100 Electric uses a fully electromechanical ejector system instead of a hydraulic ejector. This system provides high precision for both very slow and very fast ejector movements.
Key advantages of the E-Ejector system:
- Digital adjustment of force, speed, and position
- Parallel ejector operation with mold movements
- Elimination of stick-slip effects typical of hydraulic systems
- Reduced mechanical load on molds, parts, and robotic grippers
- Shorter overall cycle times
Servo Drives and Parallel Motion Capability
One of the most important engineering features of the BOY 100 Electric is the ability to execute multiple movements in parallel within a single cycle.
Examples of parallel operations:
- Gradual build-up of clamping force during injection
- Ejector movement during mold opening
- Continuous dosing and decompression throughout the cycle
- Pressure build-up synchronized with injection
This architecture reduces cycle time while significantly increasing process reliability.
Control System - Procan ALPHA 6
The BOY 100 Electric operates with the advanced Procan ALPHA 6 control system developed by Dr. BOY.
Control system capabilities:
- 9-stage injection speed control
- 9-stage injection pressure control
- 9-stage holding pressure control
- Holding pressure switchover based on pressure, stroke, or time
- Closed-loop injection and back-pressure control
- Production monitoring and part counting
- USB, Ethernet, and OPC interfaces
- EUROMAP 67 robot integration
