With the rapid development of Industry 4.0, our traditional injection molding industry uses robots more and more frequently, because the injection molding industry uses robots instead of manually to take products out of the mold, and embed products in the mold (labeling, embedding metal, two Secondary molding, etc.), it can reduce heavy physical labor, improve working conditions and safe production; increase the production efficiency of injection molding machines, stabilize product quality, reduce scrap rate, reduce production costs, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, so it is widely used in In industries such as automobiles and spare parts, industrial electrical appliances, electronic communications, food and beverages, medical care, toys, cosmetic packaging, optoelectronic manufacturing, home appliances, etc., the editor briefly summarizes what are the advantages of using robots in the injection molding industry?
1. The safety of using the manipulator is high: use human hands to enter the mold to take the product. If the machine malfunctions or the wrong button causes the mold to be closed, there is a danger of pinching the workers' hands. Use the manipulator to ensure safety.
2. Use the manipulator to save labor: the manipulator takes out the products and places them on the conveyor belt or the receiving platform. only one person needs to watch two or more sets at the same time, which can save labor. The automatic assembly line can save the factory land, so the whole plant planning is more Smaller and more compact.
3. Use a manipulator to improve efficiency and quality: If there are four problems when people take out the product, it is possible that their hands will scratch the product, and the hands will be dirty and the product will be dirty. The fatigue of the personnel will affect the cycle and reduce the production efficiency. Extend the service life of the machine. People need to open and close the safety door frequently to take out the product, which will shorten the life of some parts of the machine tool or even damage it, affecting production. The use of a manipulator does not require frequent opening and closing of the safety door.
4. Use a manipulator to reduce the defective rate of products: the newly formed products still have not completed cooling, and there is residual temperature. Manual extraction will cause hand marks and uneven manual extraction force. There are variations in uneven product extraction. The manipulator adopts a patternless suction tool to hold the tool uniformly, which greatly improves the product quality.
5. Use a manipulator to prevent damage to processed products: sometimes people forget to take out the product, and the mold will be damaged if the mold is closed. If the manipulator does not take out the product, it will automatically alarm and stop, and it will never damage the mold.
6. Use a manipulator to save raw materials and reduce costs: the unfixed time for personnel to take out will cause product shrinkage and deformation. Because the manipulator takes out time is fixed, the quality is stable.
