Injection molding
When the process requires inserts, preparation, inspection, or additional operations, we design automation around the machine, the mold, and the actual molding workflow.
The molding process
In more demanding implementations, it isn't just about removing the molded part.
The process can include insert preparation, work at the mold, inspection, and operations before or after molding.
What the process can include
Insert preparation and feeding
Insertion into the mold and overmolding
Removal, inspection, and additional operations
Integration of the machine, robots, stations, and process
Result
automation has to cover the whole cycle, not just part removal.
Implementation options
Each solution connects the steps that need to work together around the specific machine and mold.
Preparation, handling, and insertion of inserts into the mold — e.g. electric motor stators, Bowden cables, bushings, or washers — with grips adapted to the part and the overmolding process.
A 6-axis robot typically handles machine tending and insert placement; a SCARA robot supports insert sorting and preparation where configured.
Vision, inspection, and measurement, plus additional stations before or after molding — e.g. insert preheating, height-under-load check, surface knurling, and laser welding when the implementation requires it.
Integration of the injection molding machine, the robot, stations, and existing equipment into a coordinated workflow.
Choosing a solution
The right path depends on the machine, mold, parts, inserts, and the steps needed around the molding itself.
