Fakuma 2023: Boy to Showcase DC-Powered Press
The German injection molding machine maker will display a BOY 35 E supplied by a DC network in support of direct, renewable energy powering of presses.
Addressing the changing nature of energy supply, as well as interest greater energy efficiency, Dr. Boy GmbH & Co. KG will display a BOY 35 E at Fakuma 2023 (hall A7 booth 7101) that is supplied directly by a DC network.
Boy notes that direct DC networks applied without transformation to AC-power offer many advantages for injection molders, including lower losses due to conversion; reduction in wire cross-sections and the number of wires; reactive power-free operation of the machines; elimination of interference filters; and better utilization of braking energy.
