Dr. Boy GmbH & Co. KG, regarded as one of the world's leading manufacturers of compact injection moulding machines with clamping forces from 100 to 1,250 kN, has announced its participation in Mecspe 2026 in Bologna. At the booth of its Italian sales partner ST.A.TE Technologies in hall 36, booth E17, the company will present the fully electric Boy 80 Electric injection moulding machine. During the event, from 4 to 6 March, the machine will demonstrate live the capabilities of modern, resource-efficient plastics production. The demonstration will cover the complete processing sequence, with a particular focus on energy efficiency, precision and process stability in injection moulding for applications with high quality requirements.
During the trade fair, Boy 80 Electric is to illustrate the suitability of the injection moulding machine for medical technology by producing blood filters live. This is a complex medical product that requires very high standards of precision, cleanliness and process stability. The fully electric drive system enables accurate and repeatable control of the cycle, which is crucial for medical components.
Boy 80 Electric injection moulding machine in medical applications
During the demonstrations at Mecspe 2026 in Bologna, Boy 80 Electric will be producing blood filters directly at the ST.A.TE Technologies booth. The organisers of the presentation emphasise the particular suitability of this machine for the requirements of the medical sector. The main features highlighted are high repeat accuracy, precise control of all axes and the ability to perform simultaneous movements within the moulding cycle.
The fully electric design of the injection moulding machine results in exceptional repeatability and sensitive control of the drives. This allows stable process conditions to be maintained and high moulded part quality to be achieved. The use of simultaneous movements in the work cycle makes it possible to significantly shorten cycle times while maintaining the required precision in positioning and metering of the plastic. According to the manufacturer, this combination of short cycles and high repeatability is a key characteristic of the machine in applications where both productivity and component quality are critical.
Additional attention is drawn to the electric ejector system, which ensures that parts are demoulded in parallel with the opening of the mould, without a slip effect. This solution is intended to reduce the risk of product contamination by foreign substances, which is important in the production of medical components subject to stringent cleanliness and particulate control requirements.
Operating characteristics and energy efficiency
The manufacturer points out that Boy 80 Electric is characterised by high energy efficiency and short cycle times. The fully electric drive concept ensures that the moulding machine operates quietly and in a way that supports reduced resource consumption. The absence of hydraulic systems lowers the demand for oil and related maintenance operations, and also eliminates the risk of leaks, which is particularly relevant in production environments with elevated cleanliness requirements.
According to the announcements, a key element of the presentation will be the demonstration of precise motion sequences tailored to the requirements of injection moulding of high-precision parts. Of particular importance in this context are the capabilities for controlling individual axes and maintaining stable processing parameters, which directly affect the quality and repeatability of the products.
Presentation at the ST.A.TE Technologies booth
Dr. Boy plans to use its presence at Mecspe 2026 to present to visitors a broad range of solutions in the area of compact injection moulding machines and possible configurations of automation around the machine. Together with its partner ST.A.TE Technologies, the company is inviting industry professionals to the booth in hall 36, where they will be able to learn more about Boy technology and discuss individual production requirements.
The topics of discussion are expected to include innovative solutions in injection moulding as well as user-specific automation concepts for production cells. Representatives of Dr. Boy and ST.A.TE Technologies intend to highlight the benefits of the fully electric drive system of the injection moulding machine and the options for integrating the machine with auxiliary equipment used in modern plastics processing plants.
During the trade fair, information will also be provided on the advantages of Boy technology in terms of precise process control, parameter repeatability and improvements in the energy efficiency of production lines. The ST.A.TE booth is to serve as a contact point for users looking for compact, energy-efficient injection moulding solutions for medical applications as well as for other segments requiring high-quality plastic components.
