How to choose an injection manipulator

2021-06-28

In the injection molding market, all kinds of robotic arm products are readily available. Unlike other equipment, manipulators are not easy to categorize and evaluate: different axes, strokes, inconsistent specifications, and limited industrial specifications make comparison difficult. CASEND Automation Machinery Co., Ltd. is a rubber machinery automation manufacturer.


Potential buyers can use some guidelines to make wise decisions. To effectively compare different things, start with the basic elements; after understanding the basic things, you can make wise choices when choosing a robot.


The walking interval of the manipulator is the well-known stroke, and its size is related to the size of the part, the lowering position and the shape of the machine. For brevity, this interval is generally defined in terms of three axes: in this article we will use X, Y and Z three. Please note that not all manipulator manufacturers define the itinerary in this way. Some define axes differently, while others use different naming conventions.



X axis. This interval is generally called the recoil stroke, and its size is related to the thickness of the part. For example, in order to operate a bucket, it is necessary to extend the manipulator and pull the bucket out of the mold, which requires a satisfactory stroke.


Y axis. This interval is defined as the vertical stroke, which is determined by the height of the machine and the required descent height, that is, the height that the manipulator must meet so that the part can skip the machine, but also meet the low, and then can be off the ground Put down the parts at a reasonable height.


Z axis. The size of the back and forth movement depends on whether the manipulator puts the parts down on the side of the machine or behind. Parts of this type of travel are used just to skip the machine. Rubber and Plastic Machinery Automation Rubber and Plastic Machinery Automation


The easiest way to determine the required itinerary is to draw a layout diagram. The layout not only determines each itinerary, but also determines important items on the floor plan, such as **** equipment, support columns and empty areas.


The robot handles multiple items, and the payload is the component that the robot can handle, and is defined as follows:


Effective load = component component + arm end tool component


The component weight is often known for a specific purpose; however, this is not the case with end-of-arm tools. The weight of the end-of-arm tool can be estimated and can be obtained from the supplier.


Torque is more important than payload. The definition of torque is the tendency of a force to change and rotate around an axis, and is a function of the distance between the payload and the pivot point of the manipulator. To ensure that the manipulator can operate parts, compare the actual torque with the available torque that the manipulator can support.
