Tips for a Top Entry IML System with MA1600

As a small size injection molding machine, the size of the parts produced by MA1600 would be a small sized one, and the size of the robotic arms for the IML system would be limited. The suitable robotic arms would be the 3 axis servo injection robot SW6308S or SW7110S which has a payload of 3kg and vertical stroke 800~1000mm.
The height of the parts producable. Since the mold opening stroke of MA1600 is only 430mm, it's not suitable for the IML production of a plastic parts with a height (thickness) more than 140mm.
As a standard servo injection molding machine with an injection rate up to 235g/s, it's not suitable for the production of thin-wall containers like snack box, cups etc.
To ensure the success of an top entry IML system, please prepare the details of the injection molding machine, the 3D drawing of the mold (.stp/x_t) and the 3D drawing of the parts.

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

For vision control system for IML containers, what's the advantages and disadvantages of the open type of vision control system?

Vision control is now a very important in IML system especially the IML solutions for dairy products packages like yogurt cups, butter cups etc. For most European IML solutions providers like BRINK that they'll choose an open type of Vision control system which will check if the containers are well labeled or not immediately after the containers picked out from the mold and have them re-stacked after the vision control. This kind of solution will help to increase the efficiency of the IML System and pick out the defect parts quickly.

But, for some minor defect like dirt it would be impossible to be checked out because the precision of the cameras would be influenced by the changing light of the environment. To solve this problem the updated solution would be to have the IML containers checked in a closed light box which will creat a stable environment to the camera to minimize the misjudgement of the good and non good parts. -- SWITEK Yogurt Cups Vision Control Solution
