What Would be the Best Picking Robot for LK FA1200 in a Dustbin Production Project?
FA1200 is a Two-palten energy-saving servo injection molding machine produced by LK machinery for the production of automotive parts, home appliances, sanitation buckets, pallets, pipe fittings etc. As a Two-platen injection molding machine, it's an ideal choice for the production of deep cavity container like dustbin. For a project of dustbin production, which robot would be the best for this injection molding machine?
As a Two-platen injection molding machine with a clamping force of 12000kN, LK FORZA FA1200 has an opening stroke of 2100mm with a max mold thickness up to 1300mm, it'll be suitable to produce a dustbin with a maximum height up to 650mm without IML. To pick the dustbin only the 3 axis servo injection robot SW7518DS by SWITEK Automation would be the best one.
SW7518DS is a medium sized 3 axis servo injection robot designed for the injection molding machine with clamping force from 500T ~ 1500T with a payload up to 15kg. As a kick-back designed robot, it'll provide 30% more space for EOAT moving and a perfect mate to a deep cavity product like dustbin picking.
Starting from 2006, SWITEK is providing the OEM/ODM service of robotic arms for injection automation from Sprue picker to heavy duty robot with payload up to 75kg to match injection molding machine up to 4000T with turn-key injection automation solutions. For more information about SWITEK robotic arms and injection automation solution please contact Adams, your personal consultant of injecdtion automation solution integration.
