SWITEK engineer is preparing for the final testing of the ball valve auto-production with the double arms robotic before delivery. The system will have the core/O Ring in mold insertiong, ball valve picking, gate sprue cutting and valve turning done automatically to help the ball valve producer reduce the man hours and increase the productivity of the system.
What's the meaning of investing an automation system in ball valve production? As a complex system which will need to have the core of the ball valve and the O ring inserted, the cost of the automation system would be a big amount to most of the producer of the ball valve. But why is the investment so IMPORTANT? The man hours.
I still remember my first time visiting of the pipe fittings producing factory in September, 2017 with our service engineer about two weeks after my joint of SWITEK. I suffered an immediate heat stroke as soon as I entered the workshop, the temperature around the injection molding machine would be more than 38°C, I can see some middle aged man and women working beside the injection molding machine to insert the brass and cut the gate runner manually, but no yong staffs available.
The core of "Made in China 2025" policy is "Smart Production" which will have most of the repeat works done by machine instead of human staffs to reduce the tension of labour hunting, which is how it's so difficult to "Made in USA", the labour cost is too high to have the groceries "Made in USA", but with an automation system and have the labour intensive works done by the machine, maybe it'll make the sologan of "Made in USA" come true.
To "make the lazybones lazier", an injection plant with automation system will help to attract the young people to work in the plant and it seems "cool" and "amazing" that the automation system will have everything done automatically while the worker will only need to press some buttons. Which would be the future of the "Manufacturing Economy" in any country.

PVC pipe fittings are one of the most commonly used connector in the drainage project and a cold runner designed mold is the most economic solutions for the production of the PVC pipe fittings, but the removal of the runner in result is a labour intensive work. Is there any economic way to remove the runners from the PVC pipe fittings automatically?
For the producer of PVC pipe fittings the most economic soluton to remove the runner is with an Air Nipper fixed to the picking robot immediately after the PVC pipe fittings picked out from the mould. The robot will drop the seperated pipe fittings and runner to different containers. Below configuration of SWITEK runner cutting solution for 16 cavities PVC pipe fittings for your reference:
The Air Nipper runner cutting system is an easy to start solution for the producers of PVC pipe fittings, which the Air Nipper would be controlled by the picking robot and is the best solution for the small size PVC pipe fittings (with a diameter around φ25mm). Anyway it also must be custom made according to the mold design.
