SWITEK engineer finished the testing of high speed 3 axis servo robotic arm SW7112DS in picking of 36 cavities spoons with the injection molding done by HD 290L at Ningbo Haida Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd., which is the final testing of a turn-key cutlery production system before delivery.

The HD290L is a high precision servo injection molding machine with a clamping force 2900kN manufactured by Ningbo Haida Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. which is one of the earliest injection molding machine manufacturer in China established in 1992. With enhanced clamping mechanishm and optimized linkage mechanism to have a faster and smooth operation, Haida HDL series high precision servo injection molding machine is designed for the precise injection molding production of universal plastic parts.

Other than the sample picking of the cutlery from the injection molding machine like this project, SWITEK developed series of cutlery auto-production solutions like fork/spoons folding, folded forks/spoon single pieces film packing, cutlery multi-pcs bag packing, cutlery multi-pcs paper box packing and stack mold cutlery bag/box packing etc. With the first cutlery packing system on show Chinaplas 2011, SWITEK Automation will provide a one stop cutlery automation solution from pre-planning consultation, system integration and installation service.

PVC pipe fittings are one of the most commonly used connector in the drainage project and a cold runner designed mold is the most economic solutions for the production of the PVC pipe fittings, but the removal of the runner in result is a labour intensive work. Is there any economic way to remove the runners from the PVC pipe fittings automatically?

PVC Pipe Fittings Runner Cutting Solutions

For the producer of PVC pipe fittings the most economic soluton to remove the runner is with an Air Nipper fixed to the picking robot immediately after the PVC pipe fittings picked out from the mould. The robot will drop the seperated pipe fittings and runner to different containers. Below configuration of SWITEK runner cutting solution for 16 cavities PVC pipe fittings for your reference:

• Injection Molding Machine: HaiTian MA4500
• Picking Robot: SWITEK SW6712S 3 Axis Servo Injection Robot
• Mold Design: 16 Cavities
• Air Nipper: 4pcs
• Cycle Time: 60s

The Air Nipper runner cutting system is an easy to start solution for the producers of PVC pipe fittings, which the Air Nipper would be controlled by the picking robot and is the best solution for the small size PVC pipe fittings (with a diameter around φ25mm). Anyway it also must be custom made according to the mold design.
