Innovative barista bar
with BOY 50 Electric and collaborative automation
At this year's K trade fair in Düsseldorf (8-15 October 2025), BOY will demonstrate how modern injection moulding technology and creative applications can be combined in the smallest of footprint. In Hall 13, Booth A43, visitors will experience an enjoyable live application: The BOY Barista Bar.
At the centre of the eye-catching presentation is the BOY 50 Electric, combined with an integrated LR 5 linear robot, which impresses with a new, parallel ejector movement to the X-axis of the handling system - a novelty that enables even more compact and efficient automation.
Visitors take a seat at a stylishly designed counter and conveniently select their espresso speciality via an integrated touch display. The highlight: On request, your own name can be laser engraved on the cup - a real trade fair highlight with a personal touch.
A collaborating 6-axis robot takes the freshly injection-moulded espresso cup from the handling system, places it under a fully automatic coffee machine and then finishes the drink with a decorative BOY logo made of cocoa powder. The filled cup is then served to the guest directly at the bar.
The cups themselves are made from the high-quality, sustainable material NAS® ECO 30 BC90, coloured with a special laser-capable colour that creates the ideal conditions for precise engraving.
The material is provided by our long-standing partner INEOS Styrolution, leading manufacturers of high-performance styrenics. Christian Dietlein, Head of Technical Service, INEOS Styrolution: "We value our longstanding relationship with Dr Boy and encourage our customers to discover the BOY injection moulding machines at the K fair. We invite you to get in touch with us to find out how our high-performance styrenics can help you find innovative, sustainable and future-proof solutions."
The combination of mechanical engineering, robotics, digital technology and coffee culture makes this application a visitor magnet - with guaranteed enjoyment.
Dr. Boy GmbH & Co. KG once again demonstrates with this application how versatile and accessible injection moulding technology can be used in the context of digitalisation, automation and customised production - practical, compact and extremely inviting.
Visit us at K 2025: Hall 13 | Stand A43 - We look forward to seeing you!
