Selection of injection molding machine robot is a decision-making process involving multiple factors. The following are some basic steps and considerations:
1. Determine the tonnage of injection molding machine: First, understand The locking force of your injection molding machine is a key factor in choosing the stroke of the robot. The stroke of the robot should match the tonnage of the injection molding machine.
2. Select the robot type: Decide whether to use a single-arm or a double-arm robot according to the mold type of the injection molding machine. Single-arm robots are suitable for two-plate molds, while double-arm robots are suitable for three-plate molds.
3. Consider the size and weight of the mold: The size and weight of the mold will affect the choice of the robot. Larger molds may require a robot with greater stroke and greater load-bearing capacity.
4. Determine the installation height: Determine whether a single or double-section robot is required based on the height of the robot being installed to the pickup point. If the height is high, a double-section robot may be required to provide sufficient stretch range.
5. Consider production efficiency: When choosing a robot, consider its removal time and cycle time to ensure that they can meet your production efficiency requirements.
6. Compatibility and Integration: Ensure that the selected robot is compatible with the existing injection molding machine control system and can be seamlessly integrated into the production process.
7. After-sales service and technical support: Selecting suppliers in the nearest urban area will help reduce the time loss of robot installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
8. Budget: Choose a cost-effective robot according to your budget. Don’t make decisions based solely on price, but also consider long-term operating costs and return on investment.
9. Customization requirements: If you have special production needs, such as large-span injection molding workshops, you may need to customize non-standard robots to meet these needs, such as truss robots.
During the selection process, other factors may need to be considered, such as the control method, accuracy, repeatability, durability of the robot. It is recommended to consult with an experienced robot supplier or professional to ensure you choose the one that best suits your production needs.
