Picking the plastic part and placing small steel sheets have to be done from the moving side of the mold. Since both process will be done from the same side, firstly it was necessary to pick the molded part.

Gimatic one finger grippers and suction cups are used to pick up the product.​

Then for Inserting part, AGG centering grippers are used for compensating repeated positioning accuracy, Suction cups are used to pick up steel and dowel, to locate it into the mold. High precision sliders are used to insert the 6 steels into the mold at the same time by the cylinder with sensors. For In-mold monitor to keep checking on whether the insert steels are in right place.

6 inserts have to be located in 3 different movements. After the first metal insert is placed on the mold, EOAT has to move by slides, then place next 3 inserts, then move again and place the last 2 inserts. These movements were in right, left and down directions.

The realization of automatic insert and picking-up of this product requires the high coordination of EOAT, mold and robot, and requires high precision in XYZ direction, with certain compensation function. In this way, inserts must be located smoothly and stably in all directions and different parts.

This set of insert EOAT integrates all insert actions in the current market, which is a typical case of the most difficult insert Technology.

Our customer needs to pick the medical test tubes from injection mold. Tubes have 12mm diameter and they are located very near to each other in an 8 cavity mold. Gimatic SGP-S pneumatic grippers are the best solution for the small spaces which they have compact body regarding their force-stroke effectiveness. Detection is made by Gimatic PR-SN-HS programmable highly sensitive sensors which let us detect 3 different position in a short stroke. Dedicated custom fingers are made by Gimatic 3D multi jet fusion printer facility and it is used Gimatic serial number system which makes it possible to track and reproduce easily every single custom part.

Problems:

Automobile instrument panel is an important part of automobile interior. The modeling part of this part is complex. The surface of many products is also textured which cannot be picked out by vacuum cups. And there is also one bumper in this project that has to be picked out from cavity side. At present, it is a common problem to take parts of automobile plastic parts from cavity side.

How to use GIMATIC products solve them?

GIMATIC components are standardized products, which can be made into the most suitable shape according to the modeling of products. When the surface is textured, we can use OFR gripper at the edge of the product and cooperate with the front suction cup to hold the product out. In this case, even if the suction cup is not vaccumized, the product can be taken out smoothly. As for the problem of taking parts from cavity side, we will describe it separately in another Case.
