Automated insertion into injection molding machine

Automatisiertes Einlegen in Spritzgussmaschine

In this video, we demonstrate the use of an automated system for inserting components into an injection molding machine. This innovative solution optimizes the production process and significantly increases efficiency.

The operation of the insertion process is shown step by step, demonstrating the precise positioning and handling of the components. The seamless integration of the insertion system into the existing injection molding machine will then be demonstrated, including the communication interfaces and control logic.

The benefits of this solution include increasing production speed and accuracy, reducing scrap and material waste, and improving worker safety by minimizing manual intervention.

An important aspect here is maintaining a low footprint.

In automation technology, 3-finger grippers are of great importance due to their adaptability and precision when handling a wide variety of objects. A recent customer test examined the performance of such a gripper when picking up components from a fixture and assembling them.

The 3-finger gripper demonstrated high precision in picking and reliable assembly of the components. The speed of the process and the low error rate confirmed the suitability of the gripper for production use.

The test underlined the advantages of the 3-finger gripper in terms of flexibility and reliability, making it a valuable component for automated assembly processes. The results support the integration of the gripper into existing and new production lines to further increase efficiency.

Pick and place applications are a central component of modern production processes, especially in automation technology. They make it possible to pick up objects precisely and place or assemble them at a defined location. This process is particularly relevant for the assembly of small, lightweight components such as plastic lids.

The test is intended to evaluate the efficiency and precision of the pick and place application when picking up and assembling plastic lids. Particular attention will be paid to the speed of the process, the error rate and integration into existing production lines.

The application consists of a pick and place robot equipped with a gripper system specially designed for plastic lids. The robotic arm is able to pick up the lids at high speed and place them on the corresponding containers by pushing the lid into the opening.

The pick and place application for picking up and fitting plastic lids shows that significant improvements in production efficiency can be achieved through the use of robotics and automation technology. The results of the customer test confirm the potential of this technology to optimize modern production processes and increase competitiveness.

物料搬运

中型工业企业面临着很高的自动化压力。但是，并非所有机器人技术都很昂贵。igus低成本机器人可以帮助客户低成本和低风险地实现自动化。

使用低成本机器人实现自动化可以帮助工业公司提高生产效率并实现稳定的产品质量。igus的轴承盖注塑系统就是明证。将工程塑料球体插入注塑机这项操作过去一直都是人工完成，现在该工作被臂展510mm的4轴机械臂robolink取代。机械臂用抓手拣起球体并将其放入机器中，其重复定位精度为0.5mm，运行速度为0.25m/s。零件通过玻璃纤维增强塑料包覆成型并自动弹出后，该过程再次开始。机器人每年重复执行此操作25万次，三班倒运行。

“对于工业中很多单调的重复性工作，因员工疲倦而操作失误从而导致产品质量受损的现象时有发生。通过引入低成本机器人，我们不仅能减轻员工的工作负担，也同时提高了产品质量。”igus自动化注塑部门负责人说道，“此外，注塑机的生产效率也能因此提高，因为即使员工休息，系统也能继续运行。”

低成本机器人：投资约4个月之后回本

并非所有机器人都价格高昂。此应用的情况就并非如此。igus机器人价格非常实惠，即使是中小型企业也可以轻松实现自动化和工业4.0。例如，易格斯robolink最低仅需2766欧元，几乎与一台功能强大的家用计算机价格差不多，这要比动辄数万欧元的同类机械臂便宜很多倍。而它之所以能如此便宜，主要是因为机械臂的很多组件（如轴承和齿轮等）并非由金属制成，而是由高性能工程塑料制成的。Commonplace Robotics控制器的价格为1897欧元，Schunk平行抓手则仅需100欧元。“最重要的是，这种低成本机器人解决方案的投资风险很低。”Franke说道，“投资约4个月后就能回本。”

工业企业的自动化压力越来越大

根据在线门户网站Statista的数据，2017年全球工业机器人销量达38.1万台，这些机器人被用于搬运、装配和加工等任务。到2021年，这一数字达到了63万台。引入自动化技术的优势巨大：据德国工业联合会（BDI）预测，在机器人的帮助下，到2025年工业企业预计可以额外创造1.25万亿欧元的产值。因为机器人不仅可以提高公司的生产效率，还使企业的生产工艺更加灵活和定制化。关键在于工业4.0和定制化批量生产。

但是现在问题是，当汽车和航空航天等行业的自动化和智能化程度越来越高时，很多中小型企业却对自动化望而却步。自动化技术成本高昂是原因之一。另一个原因是，公司需要自己调配来自不同制造商的各种组件（包括机械电子设备、控制系统和软件）。此外，由于害怕失业，员工对自动化技术的接受度也很低。

整合领先机器人制造商产品的机器人套件

RBTX的目标之一就是帮助企业消除这些自动化障碍。RBTX是igus开发的一个低成本机器人在线交易市场，在此您可以找到整合了知名品牌产品的机器人套件。基础框架由igus机器人组成，如关节机器人、delta机器人或直角坐标机器人等。然后，您可以在此基础上使用不同制造商的组件扩展配置，比如抓手、摄像设备、交互式软件、电力电子设备、电机、传感器和控制器。只需点击几下您就能配置出所需的个性化机器人解决方案。所有产品保证兼容。“配置器中的所有部件都经过兼容性测试，保证客户投资风险很小。”Franke解释道。

不会导致人员失业：员工认可自动化

此例中，igus注塑机中使用的低成本机器人解决方案得到了员工的认可。从一开始就显而易见的是，自动化转型能优化生产流程，但不会导致人员失业。这是因为员工的工作负担减轻，而且他们接受了自动化培训。他们学会了如何操作机械臂，甚至还学习了新的机器人动作序列。整个培训过程仅花了3天时间。“Commonplace Robotics的控制系统最初是一款教育软件，操作简单，对操作者无任何编程经验要求。”Franke强调道，“员工们对该技术充满热情，因为它不仅简化了工作，还使工作变得更有趣。”

维护成本低且维修简单：robolink使用成本低

此例中用于注塑机的自动化解决方案不仅购置成本低，使用成本也很低。这是因为robolink机械臂由耐磨工程塑料制成，可进行免润滑干运行。因此，机器人的润滑和维护成本很低。维修也很简单，只需按照igus官网上发布的维修手册操作即可。此外，igus还可以在24小时内快速提供备件。Franke：“实现自动化从未如此简单。”
