Injection molding is an incredible process: liquid thermoplastic or thermosetting material is shot into a mold, hardens as it cools, then emerges as a complete product. Voila! Now, with industrial robots taking care of all the machine tending duties associated with injection molding, this application is even more miraculous.
Robots Add Accuracy, Speed to Injection Molding Process: Injection molding machines produce the same results at the same speed - every time. Robots are able to keep pace and improve the efficiency of the entire system with quick material handling, few if any mistakes, and effective palletizing. Speed up your process with industrial robots.
Flexibility and Injection Molding Robots: Industrial robots add flexibility. Injection molding is used for all types and sizes of parts - from tiny assembly components to large automotive body pieces. Robots can be quickly programmed to handle different products. Furthermore, they can easily tend more than one machine at once. They can also be programmed to palletize or place parts on a conveyor.
Injection Molding Robots are Compact:
An injection molding machine takes up a lot of real estate. With machine tending robots, you can conserve floor space. Robots work from a compact footprint and they can be mounted anywhere - ceiling, wall, shelf, machine. Streamline your floor set up with slim-armed robots to handle the machine tending.
Robots, Injection Molding and Safety
Robots create a safer work environment. Typically, workers are required to work in close proximity to injection molding machines, reaching to remove parts and stack them - over and over again. Those removing the parts from an injection molding machine are prone to repetitive movement injuries. With robots, human contact with the injection molding machine is minimized.
