Robotics Maintenance of Injection Molding Machines

Robotized operation of injection molding machines is rather popular in manufacturing industries.

Which robots are used for IMM operations?

  • 3-axes robots are used for most simple tasks, but they limit an option of full production cycle automation;
  • 6-axes robots are indispensable in production automation for parts complicated in geometry, with printing, sprueing, or sorting to different kind of containers.

What robots do we recommend?

KUKA industrial robots. It is in their controllers that the communication interface with the IMM is implemented from the factory. They are Euromap 12 or the newer Euromap 67. An industrial robot and an IMM are connected not just by exchange signals, but also by security devices.

It is important in case a programmer makes a mistake, a molding tool and a robot can be damaged. Implementation of Euromap on KUKA robots brings a possibility of such an error to minimum.

What does MetraRobotics propose?

Our engineers developed several unique solutions for IMM molding process automation

  • Classic task when an industrial robot controls injection molding machine
  • Complicated task of transparent parts’ control after their ejection from IMM.

We propose various layouts for robot and IMM placement. Installation on a plate and housing seats for 3-axes robot. For parts of bigger size a robot can be installed on the side of IMM. Pad printing, sprue trimming, laser engraving, grinding, quality control, sorting and packaging. .

Our solutions allow you to remove completely human labor out of the plastic parts production process. From molding to quality control and palletizing!
