Ningbo Union Power Machinery Co., Ltd. the injection molding machine manufacturer founded in 2007, on showed their 170ton high speed injection molding machine UP-170S/HS with turn-key solutions of 1 cavities box high speed injection molding at Chinaplas 2025.

As one of the earliest manufacturers of injection molding machine in the world manufacturing hub Ningbo City, Union Power owns large high-precision machining equipment and various types of CNC machining equipment as well as a full set of precision testing equipment and facilities in production of injection molding machines include:

• UP-100S ~ UP-1680S high precision servo injection molding machine
• PET Preform injection molding machine
• Tag pin/Loop Pin injection molding machine
• Two-tone injection molding machine
• Injection molding machine for medical parts clean production
• Injection molding machine for large size productions
• High speed injection molding machine for thin-wall containers injection molding production

Followed up Haitian group to has their own brand injection robot and auxiliary machinery, nearly all the manufacturers of injectio molding machine will choose to have their own brand injection robot in Exhibition to provide a turn-key solutions of injection molding to clients. With more than 2000 manufacturers of robotic arms producers in China, it's easy to find an OEM producer of robotic arm for any injection molding machine manufacturers to provide a ready to work turn-key solutions of injection molding to clients.

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.
