2022 will be another year for automation enterprises to usher in rapid growth opportunities. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic that has swept the world one after another, more and more enterprise owners are turning their eyes to automation, which also makes robot automation members appear more in the eyes of ordinary people. What is robot? What role can it play in production? Today, editor Ruibo will talk to everyone about this topic.

From the beginning of its launch, the robotic arm used in injection molding machines was mainly used to replace manual labor in removing products from the mold cavity and placing them in designated locations as required. Because it prevents people from directly entering the mold closing section of the injection molding machine, the use of the robotic arm can effectively avoid casualties caused by operational errors or equipment failures.
With the development of servo technology, the application fields of robotic arms have been continuously developed, and their functions have also evolved from early simple picking and placing operations to various aspects such as in mold pasting, assembly, packaging, etc. More and more robotic arm products have been developed according to different needs.

Regarding the selection of injection molding robots, we should pay attention to several main principles:
Obtained: Ensure that the length of the robotic arm can reach the center of the mold to retrieve the product
Obtaining: Ensure that the shape and structure of the product enable the robotic arm to smoothly remove the product
Can be put down: Ensure that the properly installed robotic arm can take the product over the safety door and place it at the designated location
Enough force to hold: Ensure that the load capacity of the robotic arm can meet the lifting and placing needs of the product and fixture
Quick delivery: Ensure that the operating speed of the robotic arm can meet the production cycle of the injection molding machine
Arm selection: Select a single arm or double arm robotic arm based on the type of mold
Fixed cutting number: Select the arm cutting number of the robotic arm based on the height of the crown block or workshop
Equipped with motor: Select 3-axis and 5-axis servo robotic arms according to production speed, position accuracy, and durability requirements
Making fixtures: There are process requirements such as cooling, cutting nozzles, and metal inserts that can be completed by cooperating with different external fixtures
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 robotic arm to complete different functions with the same model of robotic arm. Enterprises mainly producing thin-walled products such as fast food boxes can choose the robotic arm produced by Zhiyi Automation. Perfect performance in automation systems with high speed requirements and low load, such as tableware packaging.
Therefore, although the application scenarios are different, using the same type of robotic arm can save customers a lot of costs in future personnel training, maintenance, after-sales service, and greatly improve production efficiency.
