Robot for stack-mold IML.A new high-speed, side-entry robot for in-mold Labeling (IML See Simputer. IML - Initial Microprogram Load ) with a stack mold, and a new flexible IML system designed for low-volume applications, are both new from Ilsemann Automation, Sharon Hills, Pa. Its SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. 642 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. robot is designed for mold-opening times of 0.35 sec and a cycle time under 3 sec with presses up to 770 tons. Features include a two-stage, sealed roller-bearing arm design, whereby each section moves half the distance for faster in/ out movements. It also has a servo-driven 90[degrees] turning unit that transfers articles from the vertical to horizontal position horizontal position, n a posture in which the body lies flat and the feet and head remain on the same level. Also called supine. and a special interface for simultaneous movement of the robot and mold. The robot arm and demolding device are manufactured from carbon fiber for light weight and stiffness. Ilsemann also developed a flexible IML system for low-volume production that allows users to switch easily between molds having different cavitation cavitation Formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid at low-pressure regions that occur in places where the liquid has been accelerated to high velocities, as in the operation of centrifugal pumps, water turbines, and marine propellers. and cavity pitch. For example, the robot end-of-arm tooling can be changed in less than 30 rain. Tel: (610) 461-6142 * www.ilsemann.com [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
