Injection Moulding Robots

Injection Moulding Robots

Injection molding machines are used for plastic injection, a prevalent type of molding. And Injection molding robots use a kind of technology called Robots-As-A-Service (RaaS). This technology allows users to deploy robots quickly and easily in their facilities.

Definition of injection molding robots

Injection molding robots are used in the production of plastic parts. The main features of an injection molding robot are a tool changer, a palletizer, and a robot arm that picks up and places the molds onto the palletizer.

The tool changer is the part of the injection molding robot that changes tools on a conveyor. The palletizer then places the molds onto a pallet for storage or shipment.

What are the types of injection molding robots?

Single-shot injection molding robots

Continuous injection molding robots

Injection molding robots are used to automate the injection molding process. The robot loads the feedstock material into a hopper, which feeds it into a machine that melts and injects the material into molds before cooling down and ejecting completed parts from the mold.

How injection molding robots work

An injection molding robot is a machine that moves the injection molding machine. It does so by moving the robot arm, which has a drive shaft connected to it. The drive shaft is connected to an external gearbox and electric motor.

Injection Moulding Robots

The injection molding machine contains all its gears and other parts inside it. This means that they must be made out of metal, so they don’t break during transport or while being transported here from there. This also means no moving parts between you and your finished product!

Injection molding machine and injection molding robot

Injection molding machines and injection molding robots are two different types of machines. An injection molding machine is used to produce plastic parts, while the injection molding robot is used to make plastic parts.

The advantages of Injection Moulding Robots

Injection Moulding Robots can help reduce the cost of labor and time to produce a product and improve the efficiency of your production process.

Cost: Injection molding robots are expensive, but they will pay for themselves in less than two years.

Time: It takes longer to program an injection molding robot than for a person because so many variables are involved. However, these machines can run 24 hours daily without breaks or holidays once programmed. Making them much more efficient than humans who need breaks and vacations!

The advantages of Injection Moulding Robots

Speed: The robot works at a very high speed and can quickly produce large quantities of parts. In contrast, the manual process is slow because it involves many human operators who need to be switched between different tasks.

Precision: The injection molding robots can produce precision parts with tight tolerances and high-quality finishes because they are equipped with sophisticated sensors that ensure accurate positioning during the entire process. In addition, you can use these machines for mass production. Saving on labor costs and material wastage that may occur during manual operations (such as scrap pieces).

Reduction of defects: There is no human error when using these machines. Therefore, compared with traditional methods (such as handmade items), the possibility of defects such as cracks or warpage is slighter because artisans may not have enough expertise in their respective fields.

Cost savings: Compared with traditional methods, robots are cost-effective due to the lack of the required skill level and the lack of experience gained from working under pressure for many years. Errors may mean the loss of valuable time spent waiting for the shipment of new materials, etc…

In general, it has many advantages.

Injection molding robots are a great way to improve your manufacturing process. They can help reduce costs, improve efficiency and increase productivity. In addition, they allow you to produce quality products at a lower price than before because the robots do not need human intervention during operation.
