Anyway the implementing of an injection molding automation system would be a big investment and there would be many things the be taken into consideration so you'll have an early cost recovery. We're here some proposal for you of which an injection molding automation system to be prepared and implemented.

• Production Volume

  When talking about automation, many peoply will ask "Hey, I want to buy a robotic arm for my injection molding machine for the parts picking, brass inserting and flash polishing and I have many molding for the same injection molding machine, so the robotic arm must be suitable for the different size and type of parts picking and plishing." My dear friend, the real "Robotic arm" is not like what you see in a science fiction film which is so smart and can do anything. In reality the robotic arm is rather "stupid" and can do what it be programmed to do step by step. It's part of the injection molding automation system but not means a robotic arm is an automation system. The poor reality is, a complex injection molding automation system with the function of parts inserting, flash polishing, packing etc. is suitable for the single parts big volumn production. If there're many different parts to be produced by the same injection molding machine, the best solution is to have a robotic arm picks the parts only and have the rest done manually.

• Parts Complexity
  • Simple parts such as IML Yogurt cups: For the simple structure parts such as an IML Yogurt cup production, the injection molding system can be designed for the fast production of the IML Yogurt cups with vision control and auto-packaging to guarantee that the Yogurt cups supplied are defect free and will meet the food grade hygiene standard.
  • Complex structure parts like electronic components:For the injection molding of a complex structure plastic parts say automotive parts or electronic compents of which will have in mold insertion or assembly, the automation system would be designed for the precise inserting or assembly of the parts to ensure the parts quality and reduce the error of human workers.
• Existing Infrastructure

  If not a new factory, all the injection molding automation solutions will have to take the existing infrastructure into consideration. Which will include the details of the injection molding machine, the mold, the robotic arms, the supply of the water, electricity, the compressed air, and the layout of the workshop, the height of the ceiling etc. A custom made injection automation solution with the existing infrastrucdture eill help to reduce the cost of injection molding machinery purhcasing and have a faster system start up.

• Maintenance and Support

  The injection molding automation solution will help to reduce the man hour but higher requirements would been put forward to their team of engineering because of the much more complex mechanical and control system of the injection automation system. The long term technical support from the automation system integrator would be very important to maintain the smooth running of the automation system.

Focus on injection moldign automation solutions integrating since 2009, GuangDong SWITEK Technology will provide you with a turn-key injection automation solution from the project evaluation, system design, machinery purhcasing, system start up, operating training and life time technical support to provide you with a ready to work system of injection molding.
