Plastic Injection Molding Machines: Types and Benefits

August 11, 2022 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermoset materials.

Injection molding machines are used to inject molten plastic into a mold cavity, where it cools and hardens to the shape of the cavity.

There are many different types of injection molding machines, each with its own set of benefits. In this blog post, we will discuss the three most common types of injection molding machines: hydraulic, electric, and servo-electric. We will also discuss the benefits of each type of machine.

Plastic Injection Molding provides a versatile manufacturing process that can be used to produce parts from a wide variety of materials. Injection molding machines are available in a variety of different types, each with its own set of benefits. [Read more…] about Plastic Injection Molding Machines: Types and Benefits

Different Injection Mold Machines and What They’re Used For

April 13, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Manufacturing plastic products requires the use of injection molding machines. These come in a variety of sizes and types, each of which is designed for specific applications.

In this article, we will take a look at some of the more popular types of injection mold machines and what they’re used for.

Injection molding machines are classified by the type of driving system they use. There are four main types of injection molding machines, all of which vary slightly in terms of cost, speed, and size. [Read more…] about Different Injection Mold Machines and What They’re Used For

How Robotics Work in the Plastic Injection Molding Industry

June 26, 2020 by Polly 3 Comments

Driven by the never-ending increasing demand for more flexible solutions, industrial robots are extensively used in today’s plastics industry in all areas of the production process, including injection molding related operations.

Industrial robots can be used to automate the injection molding process by using a pick-and-place robot to load plastic parts into the machine or to place the finished pieces onto a conveyor belt.

And as human-operated injection molding leaves room for variations, the use of robots in the process ensures the production of the highest quality, accurately cut, formed, and measured finished products every single time.

New Universal Robots interface enables ‘fast’ implementation of injection molding applications

April 23, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Universal Robots has launched a new interface which it says enables faster implementation of injection molding applications.

With the Injection Molding Machine Interface (IMMI), Universal Robots says it has launched a “user-friendly and quick solution” for plastics manufacturers to integrate Universal Robots with injection molding machines.

Plastics manufacturers are increasingly turning to collaborative robots to tend injection molding machines. [Read more…] about New Universal Robots interface enables ‘fast’ implementation of injection molding applications

Kuka shows off its robots working in microelectronics

May 30, 2017 by Sam Francis

KUKA robots Possehl Electronics

Electronics is a fast-growing market for industrial robots, and Kuka has been showing off some of its success in the sector. 

In one example the company highlighted recently, a total of 25 Kuka robots are in operation at Possehl Electronics in Niefern, Germany.

There, they manufacture complex timing cases for electric power steering systems for cars.

At the core of the system, three KR Agilus robots precisely place components into the injection molding machine.

Industrial robots work on three lines with an accuracy to a tenth of a millimeter, says Kuka.  [Read more…] about Kuka shows off its robots working in microelectronics

Use of the LBR iiwa enables maximum flexibility at Arburg

In the age of Industry 4.0, “smart factories” are developing at an unprecedented rate. Nowadays, automated, networked and variable production lines are in high demand as companies aim to respond quickly and flexibly to ever shorter product life cycles.

At the same time, the issue of how to incorporate individual customer requirements into industrial series production is growing in significance.

The German machinery manufacturer Arburg has developed a fully automated production line, completely networked in terms of IT processes, which allows series-manufactured injection moldings to be individualized right at the production line, according to the customer’s requirements.
