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

What's Would be the Most Economic Way to Produce An IML Bucket With Handle？

As one of the most popular food package in the market, an IML pail with handle is in demand of huge quantity but the assembly of the handle make it a labour entensive products. Is there any solutions that will make the production of an IML bucket with handle automatically? The answer would definitely yes.

One of the most economic way would be to have the pails and handle integrated into one single mold, it could be 2 + 2 or 4 + 4 design which the IML robot will pick the buckets and have the handles assembled automatically. With this solution, the IML buckets producer will only need one set of IML system to have the buckets and handle produced and assembled immediately.

2 Cavities Side Entry IML Buckets Solution with Handle Assembly

> It sounds great right, but what would be the productivity of such a system? In Chinaplas 2024 SWITEK cooperated with YIZUMI onshowed a 2 + 2 IML solution of 1L pails at the cycle time of around 7.5s. Generally the performance of the injection molding machine, the mold and the IML robot are all very important to make it a perfect IML system with handle assembly.
