After clicking the Zone button we're entering the axis setting page where the operator will set the working zone of the IML robot axis. Here you can find two pages, in page area setting you can set the parameters of the working zone of the IML robot axis and the area correction page for the operator to modify the parameters of the IML robot axis.
Area Setting
| No. | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Point selection | Select the area extremum you want to set. |
| (2) | Current position memory | Click to memorize the current position of the axis to the (3) setting value. |
| (3) | Set value | Click to modify the setting. |
| (4) | Position | The current position of the axis is displayed. |
Aera Correction
The parameters set in "Area Settings" can be viewed and modified in "Area Correction".
The set area parameters should be consistent with the sensor signal, etc.,, and the manipulator will be alarmed if it descends outside the set area, or if there is a tendency to move out of the set area in the downward state of the arm.

Why There's An Additional Static Charge Ring Installed to Some IML System?
For visitors of SWITEKK website will find that for the IML system no matter if it's side entry IML robot or Top Entry IML Robot, you can see a ring just outside the mold area in some of the IML system but not to the other IML system. Why would it happen and what's the function of this ring to the IML system?
The ring installed is a static charging ring. For a better understanding of the function of this static charging ring we'll need to know the types of the labels which we're using in an IML project. For an IML container made from PP (Polypropylene) there're two main types of IML labels, the regular material IML labels which could be easily static charged from the inner side of the label and the metallic label of which has a metallic layer will releas the static immediately. In this case we'll need to have the label static charged from outside of the label. That's why an extra static charging ring is to be installed to the IML system to ensure that the metallic IML label could be well static charged.
