OPT, the brand originated at year 1983 in Germany and entered China in 2013 who is designated to make the assembly of the robotic arms EOAT as easy a play a LEGO, on showed their solutions of robotic arms EOAT at Chinaplas 2025.

With a unique modular system developed by OPT automation, the projector can assemble their own gripper solution with perfect precision with the spare parts produced by OPT which include low density and lightweight carbon fibre material of high bending strength, shear strength and tension strength.

Not only the supply of standard parts for the assembly of robotic arms EOAT, OPT automation will also provide customization service for the special EOAT parts for individual special constructions of gripping parts. The projector can combine the standard parts of OPT with special parts and individual products to create special solutions.

To be the supplier of IML Yogurt cups for the dairy producers now in China is not an easy job, the strict standard of "Biotic Pollution Free" make it a basic requirement to have a system of IML cups production system which will have the vision control system and the packing system integrated. Only with an IML solution of this kind will ensure that the IML cups would be "Biotic pollution free" to ensure thee food safety.

8 Cavities Yogurt Cups Side EEntry IML Solutions with Vision Control and Packing

It sounds great right? Yes it's great to have the yogurt cups produced from IML to bag packing automatically with the bad parts rejected automatically. It's an economic solution with the increasing manhours globally for the bulk production of IML containers for dairy products. As an efficient production solution of IML containers, what should the IML containers producer keep in mind while planning such a project?

For an automation system of IML with vision control and packing, the key to note would be:

• The Expected Daily Output of the Containers: As a bulk production system, an IML system with vision control and packing is not suitable for samll orders. Each system would be suitable for one products only.
• The Mold Drawing: For an IML containers production system, a 3D drawing of the mold is essential for a successful IML project. It could be either .stp or x_t file.
• The Details of the Injection Molding Machine: An IML robot would be a custom made one according to the dimension of the injection molding machine and the layout drawing of the mold, the details of the injection molding machine would be very important to an IML project.
• The Checking Standard of the Cups: As a vision control system is a "self-study" system so while planning an IML project with vision control it's important to prepare samples of both "good" parts and "bad" parts for the system to "learn" which one to be packed and which one to be rejected.
• How Would You Want the Parts to be Packed: It's the key to design the packing system for the IML cups, you should discuss it with the dairy producer and provide the packed sample if possible.

The tips above are some basice notes for an IML system with vision control and packing, for more information about IML solutions please contact Adams from SWITEKE for a ready to work turn-key IML solutions.
