Cup manufacturing – standard robot for injection moulding for medium sized batches
A special automation system is not always required for the production of packaging items in medium to large unit volumes. A standard linear robotic system with dynamic mould-entry can already shorten cycle times.
An electric ALLROUNDER 570 A injection moulding machine produces two cups/beakers made from PP weighing 6.4 g. The standard robot MULTILIFT V reduces mould-entry and cycle time considerable due to its dynamic mould-entry: Compared with a robotic system with conventional mould-entry the MULTILIFT V achieves almost 40 % faster mould-entry times, the overall cycle time amounts to just 3.56 s. This example shows just how important equipment can be when it comes to saving valuable seconds during production.
