Share with you: the customization process of manipulator of five-axis injection molding machine

The following is about the customization of five-axis injection molding machine manipulator:

Customization process

Demand communication: communicate with customers in depth to understand the specific needs of injection molding production, such as product type, size, weight, production rhythm, working environment and other information, and also clarify the functional requirements of customers for the manipulator, such as grasping mode, motion accuracy, speed, freedom and so on.

Scheme design: according to the customer's needs, a professional team of engineers will carry out the scheme design. Using CAD, SolidWorks and other software to carry out three-dimensional modeling and motion simulation, simulate the working process of manipulator in injection molding production, and evaluate its feasibility and performance.

Selection and manufacture of parts: according to the design scheme, select appropriate parts, such as servo motor, reducer, guide rail, lead screw and sensor. For some parts with special requirements, it may be necessary to carry out customized processing and adopt advanced processing technology to ensure the accuracy and quality of parts.

Assembly and debugging: in the assembly workshop, according to strict assembly process specifications, all parts are assembled to complete the overall assembly of the manipulator. After the assembly is completed, the electrical wiring and control system are installed and debugged, and the manipulator is debugged with no-load and load.

Acceptance and delivery: invite customers to the factory for acceptance, and test and verify the performance indexes of the manipulator according to the contract requirements to ensure that it meets the production requirements. After acceptance, arrange packaging and transportation, deliver the manipulator to customers, and provide installation, debugging and training services.

Considerations in customization

Load capacity: it needs to be determined according to the weight and size of the injection molded product to be grabbed, generally ranging from several kilograms to dozens of kilograms.

Motion accuracy: For injection molding products with high accuracy requirements, such as electronic parts and precision molds, it is necessary to choose a five-axis injection molding machine manipulator with high motion accuracy, and the repeated positioning accuracy can reach ±0.05mm or even higher.

Motion speed: The injection molding production line with fast production rhythm requires the manipulator to have high motion speed, such as the horizontal motion speed can reach above 1000mm/s and the vertical motion speed can reach above 500 mm/s..

Scope of work: According to the size and layout of injection molding machine and production process requirements, determine the working scope of the manipulator, including horizontal stroke, vertical stroke, arm rotation range, etc.

Control system: Advanced control system can realize precise control and efficient operation of manipulator, such as adopting PLC or special motion controller, with friendly man-machine interface and convenient operation and programming.

Safety performance: equipped with various safety protection devices, such as emergency stop button, safety light curtain, overload protection, limit switch, etc., to ensure the safety of operators and equipment.
