Beside the standard robotic arms for injection molding, PMC will also supply the 6 axis servo industrial robot, the module gantry robot for automation system integration and the intelligent stereo warehouse solutions to provide a turn-key solutions of whole factory automation to clients around the world.

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.
