The "Monitor" which we're discussing here is where you'll have a clear understanding of the working stituation of the robotic arm. In monitor page you can check the signal of the robotic arm, the EOAT, the injection molding machine and the working status of the servo motor and the control system of the IML robot for a fast diagnose of the broken point of the system.
Click

| No | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Robot/Jig/IMM | IO displays the category, click to quickly switch to the corresponding signal page. |
| (2) | Page | Click to switch to the I/O page |
| (3) | IO display | Real-time ON/OFF display of all current input and output points. |
| (4) | Drive monitoring | Real-tme display of speed, torque, load rate, and deviation of each axis servo motor. |
| (5) | Internal monitoring | Real-time display of internal I/O status. |
Use (1) or (2) to switch the IO display, and the front light is on to indicate that the signal is on.

| (7) | Reset | The maximum value previously recorded is cleared. |
Waveform
| No. | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Axis selection | Click to select the axis to display. |
| (2) | Torque (%) | The blue waveform curve shows the change in torque. The instantaneous torque of the servo motor can reach up to 300% of the rated torque. |
| (3) | Speed(rpm/min) | The red waveform curve shows the change in velocity. |
| (4) | Start | After selecting the (1) axis, click "Start" to start the waveform sampling. |
| (5) | Stop | Stop waveform sampling |
| (6) | The waveform displays the scale. | Click "+" and "-" to zoom in and out of the displayed waveform. |
3.5.3 Internal Monitor
"Internal monitoring" refers to the monitoring of the ON/OFF of the internal flag position of the controller, which is divided into 5 blank *2 units, a total of 10 areas, and the switching between bank and unit is completed through (1) and (2).

How is the SWITEK IML System for 2 Cavities Butter Box with 2 Lables Designed?
IML Containers with 2 lables will provide more space for the dairy products producers to design their pattern and provide more detailed description of their products, but with one more label it'll make the design of the IML system much more complex. How would be the two labels to be put into the mold and what would be the recommendation of such an IML system?
SWITEK has both solutions of 2 cavities IML solutions for oval shpe box and 4 cavities IML solutions for round cups with 2 labels. The difference of the 2 labels IML solutions of wrap + bottom labeling will request more space for the magazine layout design. Both the labels would be put into the cavities at the movable part of the platen with the parts to be picked from the fixed part of the platen.
Since the structure of the magazine for the IML containers with two labels is much more complex than that of wrap labeling only, the best solution is to have a turn-key IML solutions from SWITEK Automation so we can have the robot and the injection mould well tested together before delivery to ensure that the system which you received is ready to work. For more details about a turn-key IML solutions please contact Adams from SWITEK Automation, you're personal advisor of IML Soutions integration.
