Dual robots serve stack molds. (Injection Molding).A new single-beam, dual-robot system is designed as a space-saving configuration for stack-mold production of large parts on presses of at least 650 tons. The Integrated Dual Carriage Inline Robot from Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd Husky Injection Moulding Systems Ltd was founded by Robert Schad, a German immigrant who came to Canada in 1951 with $25 borrowed from an uncle and a letter from a family friend by the name of Albert Einstein. . In Bolton, Ont., has two independently controlled, four-or-five-axis robots riding on a common beam mounted atop the press and parallel to its long axis long axis n. A line parallel to an object lengthwise, as in the body the imaginary line that runs vertically through the head down to the space between the feet. . The robots reach down into the molds to retrieve the parts. Then the two robots move in unison to transport the parts behind the clamp, where they can be placed on a conveyor Conveyor A horizontal, inclined, declined, or vertical machine for moving or transporting bulk materials, packages, or objects in a path predetermined by the design of the device and having points of loading and discharge fixed or selective. or inspection table. This configuration minimizes space needed beside the clamp. The robots' relatively long traverse movement can be accomplished within the molding cycle of large parts made on a stack system. The PC-based controller for the injection press is used to program and operate the robots. The robot's main linear axes are servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk. driven, while the rotary motions are pneumatically pneu·mat·ic also pneu·mat·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to air or other gases. 2. Of or relating to pneumatics. 3. a. Run by or using compressed air: a pneumatic drill. operated. The robots can handle payloads up to 176 lb apiece.
