Why is LK FORZA-III Two-Platen Injection Molding Machine FA3000/33700 an Ideal Machine for Bumper Production?

The FORZA-III FA3000/33700 is a two-platen energy-saving servo injection moldign machine with clamping force of 30,000kN produced by LK machinery for the productionn of large size plastic parts. In car bumper production it has the advantages of:

• Space between tie-bars 2000 x 1800mm for larger size injection mould --
• Non-contact tie bars with the moving platent to provide excellent mold protection --
• Improved, light-weight materials and automated systems are reducing costs and streamlining process --
• Customization features to utilize precision technology to create quality pieces to exact specifications --

And the 3200mm mold opening stroke of the injection molding machine provide more space for the robotic arms to finish the complex picking process of a car bumper.

Why to have a A/C Servo Robotic Arm to do the Car Bumper Picking?

The car bumper is a large size arc shape plastic parts with complex structure, which make the picking EOAT of the car bumper a complex system. Below a standard design of the car bumper EOAT design to show the complexity of the system.

The EOAT above shows that the picking of a car bumper is a co-working of a couple of suction cups and clippers. As the length of the EOAT for bumper picking would be more than 1meters, it'll request that EOAT is able the change the angle while have the car bumper moved out of the mold area. In this case a robotic arm with A/C servo posture will solve the problem of pkicking angle adjusting perfectly.

The SWITEK SW7730DS is a heavy duty 3 axis servo robotic arm with payload up to 75kg designed for injection molding machine from 1000~4000T. Equipped with A/C servo posture, it would be a perfect picking robotic arm for LK FORZA-III FA3000/33700 in production of car bumpers.

How is a Car Bumper Picked by a Robotic Arm with Servo Axis C from the Injection Molding Machine?

The picking robotic arms of the car bumper is SWITEK SW7730DS with servo C, which is an economic solution of a smaller car bumper injection molding. The optional servo axis A is for the car bumper injection molding system with limited space between the tie bars would be a perfect solutions of the car bumper picking.

PVC/PPR ball valve is a very important pipe fittings in the drainage system in control of the water flow. But the injection production of a ball valve it'll need to insert the core of the valve with the sealing ring into the mold. The in mold insertion of the spare parts would be done manually which the cost is increasing with the getting higher labour cost and difficult to increase the productivity. That's why LESSO group invited SWITEK Automation to develop a series of pipe fittings auto-production solutions, among which include the Ball Valve Core Insertion System.

Designated to design an economic but efficient automation solution of ball valve injection production, the SWITEK 4 cavities ball valve in mold insertion solutions include the following functions:

• The O Ring sorting and inserting
• The ball valve core sorting and inserting
• The ball valve picking
• The runner cutting
• The turning of the ball valve core

The functions above will ensure that the system will produce the PVC/PPR ball valve automatically.
