The year 2020 is bound to be a key year for automation enterprises to embrace the opportunity of rapid growth. Due to the coVID-19 pandemic, more and more business owners are turning to automation.It also allows the robotic arm, an entry-level automation member, to be more visible to the general public.What is the manipulator?What role can it play in production?Today, Ribo is here to talk to you about this topic.
From the beginning of the market, injection molding machine manipulator is mainly used to substitute manual from the mold cavity to take out products in accordance with the requirements of the designated place.Because of the avoidance of people directly into the injection molding machine closure interval, so the use of manipulator can effectively avoid the operation error or equipment failure caused by casualties.With the development of servo technology, the application field of manipulator has been constantly developed, and its functions have also developed from the early simple pickup and release operation to the in-mold paste, assembly, packaging and other aspects.More and more manipulator products are developed according to different needs.
Regarding the selection of the injection molding manipulator, we should pay attention to several main principles: get: ensure that the length of the robotic arm can reach the center of the mold to get the product
Get out: ensure the shape and structure of the product to enable the manipulator to take out the product smoothly
Place: Ensure that the manipulator is properly installed and can carry the product past the safety gate to the designated location
Reach: ensure that the load capacity of the manipulator can meet the demand for picking up and putting products and fixtures
Take fast: ensure the manipulator running speed can meet the production cycle of the injection molding machine
Player arm: select single arm or double arm manipulator according to the type of mold
Fixed cut-off number: according to the height of the crane or workshop to choose the manipulator arm cut-off number
With motor: according to the production speed, position accuracy and durability requirements with 4-axis and 5-axis servo manipulator
Making fixture: with cooling, cutting nozzle, metal inserts and other technological requirements can be completed by matching with different mold outside fixture
In addition to the above basic principles, considering the convenience of daily application and maintenance, injection molding enterprises can fully consider the universality of the manipulator to complete different functions with the same type of manipulator.With fast food box and other thin-walled products, enterprises can choose to automate the production of manipulator.Perfect performance in automation system with high speed and small load, such as tableware packaging.Therefore, although the application scenarios are different, the use of the manipulator of the same model can save a lot of costs for customers in future personnel training, maintenance, after-sales service and other aspects, and greatly improve production efficiency.
