The Assembly of SWITEK New IML Robot of 2 Cavities Side Entry IML With Handle Assembly Semi-Fished

Turn-key IML Solutions

Another side entry IML robot of 2 cavities 1L pails with handle assembly is semi-finished at the workshop of GuangDong SWITEK Technoloyg Co., Ltd., the leading IML solutions provider from China.

The solution is one of the favorite among the producers of IML packages for the dairy giant of the 1L temper proof IML pail with handle, of which is a popular solution of packing for Yogurt and icecream but the assembly of the handle to the bucket is a labout intensive job. To have the handle assembled immediately after the IML will help to increase the productivity of the IML system and reduce the production cost.

The highlight of the solution is that the bucket and the handle to be integrated into the same mold to enable the robot to finish the assembly of the handle immediately after the picking of the IML pails with a custom made handle assembly unit.

With the first IML robot on show Chinaplas 2010, SWITEK R&D team has accumulated thousands of solutions of IML and is willing to cooperate with clients around the world to provide innvoative custom made IML solutions with cutting edge technology.

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.
