SWITEK Finalize the Assembly and Testing of the Automation System for Ball Valve Injection Molding

PVC/PPR Pipe Fittings Injection Automation Solutions

The new automation systems for the auto-production of ball vales of varies size is assembling and tested in the workshop of GuangDong Switek Technology Co., Ltd., of which will help the producers of PVC/PPR ball valves reduce the man hours andd increase the productivity.

The automation systems under go assembly and testing are solutions for the produciton of ball valves with both male and female nuts of varies size to be used in the drainage system. With a custom made 3 axis servo injection robot and end of arm tooling, the automation system will finish the production process of O ring/Core sorting, layout, inserting, parts picking, runner cutting and handle turning.

Since the first automation system of in mold insertion for pipe fittings production delivered in 2015, SWITEK R&D team developed a series of custom made automation system which include PVC pipe fittings runner cutting, PVC/PPR pipe fittings brass in mold insertion and runner cutting, faucet mandrel in mold insertion and runner cutting solution, ball valve core and O ring in mold insertion and runner cutting solutions etc. to provide the producer of pipe fittings a turn-key solutions of injection automation.

Injection Automation Application -- Side Entry Petri Dishs Injection Molding Automation Solution

SIDE ENTRY PETRI DISH PACKING SOLUTION

Introduction of SWITEK Side Entry Petri Dish Packing System

The SWITEK side entry petri dish packing system is a custom made automation system for the stable production of laboratory consumable plastic petri dish with the picking robot, the petri dish assembly, stacking, packing unit etc. integrated as auniformed system for the efficient and stable production of the petri dish. The system can be custome made for a petri dish mold layout design of 2+2, 4+4, 6+6, 8+8 etc.

Functional Units of SWITEK Top Entry Petri Dish Packing System

(1) -- Side Entry Robotic Arm: The picking arm of the packing system in handling the picking of the petri dish from the injection molding machine and place them on the assembly unit.
(2) -- Injection Mold: The core injection unit to shape the petri dish, it can be 2+2, 4+4, 6+6, 8+8 configuragion of the petri covers and bottoms.
(3) -- Petri Dish Assembly Unit: Have the cover and bottom of the petri dish assembled and drop it on the conveyor.
(4) -- Sorting Conveyor: Lined the assembled petri dish sets for stacking before packing.
(5) -- Stacking Station: Have the well assembled petri dishes stacked up as requested (5/10/15/20/25 sets etc.).
(6) -- Petri Dish Packing Unit: Have the well stacked petri dish packed and sealed with optional function of vacuume the bag.
(7) -- Petri Dish Transfer Robot: Catch the well sealed petri dish bag and drop it to the conveyor.
(8) -- Petri Dish Dropping Conveyor: Deliver the well packed petri dish.
(9) -- Injection Molding Machine: The injection unit of the whole syste.
