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.

For manay small and medium sized producer of IML containers it many not be easy to make a decision if to accept the order or not because of the small quantity at the beginning but a huge potential in the future. As the IML robot is a custom made system according to the mold design and the injection molding machine for this mold. But is there any possibility to have one IML robot for a couple of molds? The answer is yes.

High Speed Side Entry IML Robot

The SW8 series of side entry IML robot is one of which an ideal choice for the small and medium sized producer of IML containers. With exchangeable magazine and stacking unit, the IML robot enable the IML containers producers to produce the small and medium sized IML containers and IML lids by the injection molding machine and the IML robot with simply to have the magazine and EOAT replaced for the new mold. But with this IML robot, how will the IML containers produce to achieve the maximized productivity?

To maximized the productivity of the IML system, the key would be to have the injection molding machines and the IML robots well organized according to the products. To make the change the magazine and EOATs faster, we can have the containers with wraping labeling produced in one IML system and have the 3/5 face labeling containers and the lids produced by another IML system. It's not recommended to have the containers with wraping labeling to be produced by the same IML system with an IML lids, which will need to change both the Magazine and the stacking unit and the time to start the system up would be much longer.
