Another side entry IML robot of 2 cavities 1L pails with handle assembly is semi-finished at the workshop of GuangDong SWITEK Technoloyg Co., Ltd., the leading IML solutions provider from China.

The solution is one of the favorite among the producers of IML packages for the dairy giant of the 1L temper proof IML pail with handle, of which is a popular solution of packing for Yogurt and icecream but the assembly of the handle to the bucket is a labout intensive job. To have the handle assembled immediately after the IML will help to increase the productivity of the IML system and reduce the production cost.

The highlight of the solution is that the bucket and the handle to be integrated into the same mold to enable the robot to finish the assembly of the handle immediately after the picking of the IML pails with a custom made handle assembly unit.

With the first IML robot on show Chinaplas 2010, SWITEK R&D team has accumulated thousands of solutions of IML and is willing to cooperate with clients around the world to provide innvoative custom made IML solutions with cutting edge technology.

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?

PVC Pipe Fittings Runner Cutting Solutions

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:

• Injection Molding Machine: HaiTian MA4500
• Picking Robot: SWITEK SW6712S 3 Axis Servo Injection Robot
• Mold Design: 16 Cavities
• Air Nipper: 4pcs
• Cycle Time: 60s

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.
