Product Descriptions
General Overview - Industrial Positioning of the BOY 60 E Platform
The BOY 60 E is Dr. BOY's servo-hydraulic injection molding machine in the 600 kN clamping force class. By combining a compact machine layout with high technical performance, it offers outstanding advantages in both floor-space efficiency and process reliability. Decades of machine-building expertise and the BOY Injectioneering philosophy are clearly reflected in this model.
The BOY 60 E is a versatile production platform suitable for processing thermoplastics, elastomers, silicones including LSR, thermosets (duromers), as well as metal and ceramic injection molding feedstocks used in PIM technology.
Clamping Unit - 600 kN Two-Platen Cantilever System
The BOY 60 E features a four tie-bar, two-platen clamping unit with a cantilever design. Compared to conventional three-platen machines, this structure requires less installation space while providing excellent and unobstructed access to the mold area.
Clamping unit technical data:
- Clamping force: 600 kN
- Tie-bar spacing (H × V): 360 × 335 mm
- Maximum daylight between platens: 650 mm
- Maximum adjustable mold opening stroke: 400 mm
- Minimum mold height: 250 mm
- Maximum mold weight on moving platen: 400 kg
- Mold opening force: 38 kN
- Mold closing force: 24.4 kN
- Maximum ejector stroke: 80 mm (optional 130 mm or 150 mm)
- Ejector forward / return force: 20.4 / 13.5 kN (optional 42.7 / 30 kN)
Thanks to the cantilever clamping concept, no additional floor space is required for robots, pick-and-place units, conveyors, or cellular automation systems.

Servo-Hydraulic Drive System and Energy Management
The BOY 60 E is equipped with a servo-motor-driven hydraulic pump system. Hydraulic power is generated only when required by the process. Dr. BOY's patented pressure intensifier system maintains clamping force during injection and cooling phases without the need for an additional pressure-holding pump.
Energy and hydraulic system data:
- Installed drive power: 11 kW
- Total installed power: 18.7 kW at 400 V
- Hydraulic system pressure: 195 bar
- Oil tank capacity: 200 liters
- EUROMAP 6 dry cycle time: 1.9 s at 252 mm stroke
This configuration ensures low energy consumption and exceptionally quiet operation.
EconPlast Technology - High Wear Resistance and Stable Plasticizing
The BOY 60 E can be optionally equipped with the EconPlast plasticizing unit. This technology significantly extends screw and barrel service life, particularly when processing glass-fiber-reinforced or abrasive materials.
EconPlast advantages:
- Reduced energy consumption
- More homogeneous melt structure
- Lower material degradation
- Extended maintenance intervals
Control System - Procan ALPHA
The BOY 60 E operates with Dr. BOY's advanced Procan ALPHA control system.
Control system capabilities:
- 8-stage injection speed control
- 2-stage injection pressure control
- 8-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 functions
- USB, Ethernet, and OPC interfaces
- EUROMAP 67 robot interface
