Robotic Automation: Injection MoldingRobotic tending and injection mold machines are a winning combination. Once liquid thermoplastic or thermosetting materials fill the mold and it sets, the finished part must be carefully removed from the machine. Robots have the dexterity to carry out this job with efficiency.
Injection molding machines are able to run constantly when tended by robots. This leads to increased productivity and dependable cycle times.
Injection molding robots are also able to maintain the same timing, placement, and efficiency without taking breaks or making mistakes.
RobotWorx robots are extremely versatile. One robot can be used to man multiple injection molding machines, performing tasks such as loading, unloading, palletizing, stacking, lifting, etc. and can accomodate a variety of part sizes with ease.
Injection molding robots are ideal for carrying out related injection mold tending jobs, such as pretreating plastic and rubber parts, sonic and laser welding, as well as managing over-molding needs, which is the process of combining two materials (fabric and plastic for instance).
While injection mold machines use a great deal of floor space, robots have a relatively compact footprint and they can be installed on tracks, tables, and overhead. Slim robotic arms are ideal for reaching in and out of mold machines to extract parts. Conveyors, pallets, tables, and machines can be positioned in closer proximity when robots tend.
RobotWorx integrates new and refurbished injection molding robots from Motoman and Fanuc. We customize every injection molding robot to fit customer specifications. Customer training at our facility, phone support for the life of the system, and warranties that provide complete parts and service coverage are available with every robot.
RobotWorx can integrate an injection molding robot that will increase productivity, throughput, and revenue. Contact our sales department at 740-383-8383 for more injection molding information.
