The new automation systems for the auto-production of ball vales of varies size is assembling and tested in the workshop of GuangDong Switek Technology Co., Ltd., of which will help the producers of PVC/PPR ball valves reduce the man hours andd increase the productivity.

The automation systems under go assembly and testing are solutions for the produciton of ball valves with both male and female nuts of varies size to be used in the drainage system. With a custom made 3 axis servo injection robot and end of arm tooling, the automation system will finish the production process of O ring/Core sorting, layout, inserting, parts picking, runner cutting and handle turning.

Since the first automation system of in mold insertion for pipe fittings production delivered in 2015, SWITEK R&D team developed a series of custom made automation system which include PVC pipe fittings runner cutting, PVC/PPR pipe fittings brass in mold insertion and runner cutting, faucet mandrel in mold insertion and runner cutting solution, ball valve core and O ring in mold insertion and runner cutting solutions etc. to provide the producer of pipe fittings a turn-key solutions of injection automation.

PVC/PPR ball valve is a very important pipe fittings in the drainage system in control of the water flow. But the injection production of a ball valve it'll need to insert the core of the valve with the sealing ring into the mold. The in mold insertion of the spare parts would be done manually which the cost is increasing with the getting higher labour cost and difficult to increase the productivity. That's why LESSO group invited SWITEK Automation to develop a series of pipe fittings auto-production solutions, among which include the Ball Valve Core Insertion System.

Designated to design an economic but efficient automation solution of ball valve injection production, the SWITEK 4 cavities ball valve in mold insertion solutions include the following functions:

• The O Ring sorting and inserting
• The ball valve core sorting and inserting
• The ball valve picking
• The runner cutting
• The turning of the ball valve core

The functions above will ensure that the system will produce the PVC/PPR ball valve automatically.
