Abstract

The IML robot will working automatically in IML production of the containers after programming and parameter setting. Toggle the knob in the upper left corner of the teach pendant to AUTO, and the interface of the IML robot will jumps to the following automatic screen. In this chapter we're introducing the functions of each buttom you can see in the Auto mold of the IML robot.

No	Name	Function
(1)	1 Cycle	Select the number of run cycles to start automatic or single-step. Select 1 cycle, and after the program has been running for 1 cycle, it will stop.
(2)	Full cycle	Select the number of run cycles to start automatic or single-step. Select Full Loop and the program will run continuously.
(3)	Start	After selecting 1 cycle/full cycle, click this button to start the automatic operation.
(4)	Pause	When running automatically, click this button and the operation will be paused. After pausing, click "start" again to resume the operation.
(5)	Stop	When running automatically, click this button, and the program will stop in the standby position and end the auto after the current cycle has been running.
(6)	Single step	Select 1 cycle/full cycle, and click Single Step to enter the single step state. Click Step again to exit Step Run.
(7)	Forward/Backward	Enter the single-step state, click "Forward" once, and the program will run the one-step command.
(8)	Axis intelligence	Position: The current position of the axis is displayed. Encoder: The current position of the encoder (0-one revolution pulse value). Torque: The value of the torque output in real time while the current shaft is running.
(9)	Production management	Display of various production data generated during automatic operation Take-out time, cycle time, molding time, number of one-time take-outs/number of take-outs, number of current production/scheduled number, defective rate/achievement rate, estimated completion time, number of defective products, and advance notification time time setting.
(10)	I/O signals	Click to view the real-time changes of each I/O in automatic operation.
(11)	Timer	Each timer setting is displayed, and you can turn up and down to view it.
(12)	Counter	The settings of each counter and the current count are displayed, which can be viewed by turning the page up and down.

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.
