Why and How to have Two Robotic Arms Working Together in an Injection Automation System?
The injection molding automation system of which will need two top entry robotic arms working together are mostly a system of in mold insertion or assembly or packing. With two injection robotic arms working together the automation system will finish a complex process like to have one robotic arm pick the parts A from injection molding machine A and the other robotic arm have the Parts A inserted into the injection molding machine B.
What's the Ideology of SWITEK Wheel Injection Automation Solutions?
The SWITEK wheel injection automation solution is a representative solution of multi-components injection molding of which the core and the outring of the wheels are produced of different materials. The ideology of the automation system is that the core of wheels are injection molded by injection molding machine A and robot A will pick the core out and placed on the to be furtherr cooled and quality checked by the vision control system; the robotic arm B will pick the quality core and insert it into the injection molding machine B for outring injection molding and pick out the finished wheels to be placed on the conveyor.
Is there Any Other Solutions of Multi-Components Parts Injection Molding?
For multi-components injection molding the other solution is to use a two-tone injection molding machine of which the mold will switch the position for the soft-plastic injection molding after the hard plastic core injection molding.
What's the Difference Between SWITEK Two Robotic Arms Solutions and Multi-Components Injection Molding Machine Solutions?
The SWITEK two robotic arms in mold inertion system has the injection molding of the hard plastic core and the soft plastic outring of the wheel done by two injection molding machines, the system is much more complex. But with this system the core will have a better cooling and after quality checking before the soft plastic injection, it'll have a better quality control of the final products.
For sure it would be much more easier to have the injection molding of both the hard plastic core and the soft plastic outring done by the same injection molding machine, but it'll request a perfect chilling system in the mold design and in case there's any defect in the hard plastic core injection molding, a defect wheel would be produced and difficult to be find out because the core is wrapped by the soft plastic after the second injection molding.

What would be a price smart configuration for the production of 20L paint buckets?
With more producers of the pails for paints introduced IML system in their production, it make the IML paints pails market getting more and more competitive. With a lower investment on the facilities will no doubt help to earn the investment back faster. Here is some recommendation of the IML solutions for 20L buckets for your reference.
As a 20L IML pails would be produced in an injection molding machine around 700T with a cycle time of 25s or longer, the robot to recommed would be SW7518DS by SWITEK Automation which is a 3 axis servo injection robot with a kick-back design, the best structure for deep cavity parts picking like an IML pails. It's the top choosed robot for an IML system of 20L paint buckets.
As a deep cavity IML container, the injection molding machine would be very important because it'll request a much larger opening stroke to ensure that the IML robot will have sufficient space to pick the buckets and insert the label. The injection molding machine to recommend here is the HD700U seriese of injection molding machine produced by HAIDA. This machine is specially designed for the production of IML pails > 20L with enlarged opening strokes.
For any more questions about the production of 20L IML pails for paints please just feel free to contact Adams to get a ready to work turn-key IML solution.
