Eight advantages of using injection molding machine manipulator in industrial intelligent manufacturing
With the vigorous development of industry in the 1940s, the manufacturing industry gradually turned to the era of replacing people with machines. Take Foxconn, which we know better. As early as 2010, we already had the idea of developing robots. Only the skills at that time were not as sophisticated as they are now.
As for the injection molding factory, “time is money”. In order to improve the production power, it is necessary to seize every minute, use higher speed, more flexible and higher load manipulator equipment to complete automatic production, so as to increase the efficiency of production.
The use of manipulator can deal with many challenges, such as high labor loss rate, shortened delivery cycle, safety problems and so on. Factory workers change jobs more frequently, and some workers return home instead of going back to the factory in the lunar new year. Employers must constantly train new employees, which will affect the output and production power. There is no fear in using robots. In addition, robots can ensure the consistency of operation cycle, improve quality and become more and more safe.
1. Labor saving: the manipulator takes out the products and places them on the conveyor belt or receiving table. It only needs one person to watch or one person to watch two or more injection molding machines together, which can save labor. Making an automatic assembly line can save the plant land and make the whole plant planning smaller and more compact.
The cycle is stable and the benefit is higher: people can lie or even fake, but machines can’t. The output value of employees is high and low every day. People will find reasons to hide their lack of homework. The production cycle of the machine is 20s, which is permanent and convenient for production management. In the long run, the interests of the boss, because of the use of manipulators, the same plant, the same equipment and the same conditions, because of the stability of the production cycle, the output value is invisible, and this part of the output value is the net profit.
3. High safety: the operation safety of workers is guaranteed, and there will be no industrial accidents caused by neglect or fatigue. Make people enter the mold to take products. If the injection molding machine is defective or the keys form a mold closing, there will be a risk of hand injury. Especially for the operation of two shifts and three shifts, it will show physiological fatigue and safety accidents at night. The use of manipulator can ensure safe production, which is particularly important in large injection molding machines.
4. the power of the process: the first mock exam can make the production time of each mould fixed, the same plasticizing time, injection time, holding time, cooling time and switching mode time, and the product yield can be simplified.
5. Save materials and reduce costs: the product will shrink and deform if the personnel take it out at an uncertain time (if the material pipe is too hot, it will waste materials if it needs to be re injected). The manipulator is fixed at all times, so the quality is stable.
Improved output: the freshly formed products have not been cooled and there is residual temperature. Hand marks will be formed when taken out by hand, and the manual removal force is uneven. There is uneven deformation when taking out the products. In case of active demoulding, the product will fall and form bumps. Defective products due to oil contamination. The manipulator adopts a non striated suction tool with uniform force, fixed mold locking time and normal mold temperature, which can reduce the defective rate of products and greatly improve the production and quality.
7. Avoid mold damage: if the worker fails to take out the product successfully, the mold will be damaged. If the manipulator fails to take out the product successfully, it will actively alarm and stop the machine.
8. Improve the competitiveness: use the manipulator to improve the image of the workshop, ensure the quality, more accurately calculate the output value and improve the competitiveness of the enterprise. Customers also expect to select injection molding manufacturers with robots to cooperate. The use of robots overcomes the laziness of labor to a great extent and can accurately calculate the daily value and delivery date. The use of manipulator can increase the competitiveness of enterprises, which is the trend in the future.
Now, robots have become a reality. With “more and more robot armies”, more operations will be completed and operated by robots. This makes people worry about whether the use of injection machines will affect the employment of ordinary workers, especially operators. In the future, robots will replace human operation?
Some people believe that, on the whole, there is no complete replacement for human beings. In addition, some people believe that as long as the introduction of robots, reduce costs, improve quality and competitiveness, the livelihood and development space of production enterprises, so as to bring more workers’ work.
