Abstract

Pendent setting here is to introduce how to set the parameters of the system which include the system seting, the user permissions setting, the Network setting etc. to have the IML robot working comfortably and safely.

System Setting

No.	Name	Function
(1)	Screen Brightness	Adjust the screen brightness by "+" and "-".
(2)	Screen time	Tap to set the holding time for the screen to light up without operation.
(3)	Program selection	Use a teaching program or a fixed program selection.
(4)	IMM Selection	The European Style, Chinese style, and Japanese style of the injection molding machine are selected, and the signal processing (clearance, mold area safety, etc.) of different styles is different.
(5)	Machine name, Factory time	Set the name of the machine and the date of manufacture.
(6)	Registration code	After using the password acceptance function, you can obtain the permission and time of use through the registration code issued by the manufacturer.
(7)	Time remaining for accpetance	After using the password acceptance function, the remaining time to continue using it is displayed here. When the remaining time is 0, the robot will not be able to enter the automatic operation.
(8)	Save	After the above settings are modified, you must click Save. Otherwise, if the power is back on, the modified items may not be maintained.

After you have modified each of the system settings, click "Save".

User settings

No.	Name	Function
(1)	Set up	Click "√" to indicate that the function is enabled in the user permission.
(2)	Page	Scroll up or down to view the assignment of permissions.

The operation authority of each user can be assigned through the setting in above figure to facilitate the operation and management of the site. (Higher-level users can be assigned permissions to low-level users by logging in. )

Network settings

As shown in the figure above, two sets of MODBUS communication IP addresses are set, please click "Save" when completed.
The two sets of IP addresses are set for the following two network ports:

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

For Small and Medium Sized IML Container Producer, Is it Possible to Produce More the One Products with the Same IML Robot?

For manay small and medium sized producer of IML containers it many not be easy to make a decision if to accept the order or not because of the small quantity at the beginning but a huge potential in the future. As the IML robot is a custom made system according to the mold design and the injection molding machine for this mold. But is there any possibility to have one IML robot for a couple of molds? The answer is yes.

High Speed Side Entry IML Robot

The SW8 series of side entry IML robot is one of which an ideal choice for the small and medium sized producer of IML containers. With exchangeable magazine and stacking unit, the IML robot enable the IML containers producers to produce the small and medium sized IML containers and IML lids by the injection molding machine and the IML robot with simply to have the magazine and EOAT replaced for the new mold. But with this IML robot, how will the IML containers produce to achieve the maximized productivity?

To maximized the productivity of the IML system, the key would be to have the injection molding machines and the IML robots well organized according to the products. To make the change the magazine and EOATs faster, we can have the containers with wraping labeling produced in one IML system and have the 3/5 face labeling containers and the lids produced by another IML system. It's not recommended to have the containers with wraping labeling to be produced by the same IML system with an IML lids, which will need to change both the Magazine and the stacking unit and the time to start the system up would be much longer.
