Abstract

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.

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

Why is 8 Cavities Mold Design the Best Solution for Elbow with Nuts?

For PVC/PPR pipe fittings with nuts with a diameter of around φ25mm most of the producer will choose an injection molding machine of around 250T and a mold cavities of 8 Cavities, will a more cavities mold design with a larger injection molding machine a better choice for pipe fittings producers?

8 Cavities Pipe Fittings Nut Insertion Automation Solution

According to the experience of working with LESSO group in the automiztion of their PVC/PPR pipe fittings injection production system, we finally decide to have an 8 cavities mold deisgn with 250T injection molding machine because:

A 250T injection molding machine with 8 cavities mold design is an economic investment to start up a pipe fittings injection production system.
For a pipe fittings auto-injection production system with nut insertion, the weight of the EOAT would be very heavy. An eight cavities solution will perfectly balance the payload of the injection robot and weight of the EOAT.
An 8 cavities layout design of the pipe fittings will produce a better mold flow during the injection production of the pipe fittings.

Anyway, to upgrade your PVC/PPR pipe fittings injection molding system you must keep in mind that it's only valuable to have an automation system for bulk production products, which means that one injection molding machine with only one mold to be equipped with one automation system for the pipe fittings' Nut insertion, runner cutting and parts picking.

For any other question about a PVC/PPR pipe fittings auto-production system please contact Adams from SWITEK for a turn-key solutions of pipe fittings production.
