The screen of the pendant is the interface of the IML robot from where the operator will operate and program the IML robot. In this chapter we'll introduce how to program and set the parameters of the IML robot. Below the interface of the IML robot after powering and system loading for your reference:
Toggle the knob in the upper left corner of the handset to MANU, and the interface is as follows:

What's the advantage of a double arms robot top entry IML system for lids?
IML lids is now a business of billions of US dollar around the world especially as the package of dairy products. But as an easiest IML products to produce, IML lids is one of the most price sensitive products in the market. A smaller budget in facility investment and easier operating will no doubt help the IML lids producer to reduce their production and will be able to react faster to the market change.
For IML lids for small and medium size containers to be produced in injection molding machine around 350T, the cost of a double arms top entry IML system would be about one 2/3 against a side entry IML robot with similiar productivity. And since the robot is to be installed to the top of the injection molding machine, it'll occupy less floor space and maximize the the floor occupation of your working place. And as a top entry IML system it'll provide more flexibility to have the parts either dropped to the operator side or the non-operator side.
