Project Name: Injection Molding Automation
Service Customer: European plastic parts factory
Background
With the upgrading and high-end development of global industries such as automobiles, electronics, medical devices, and home appliances, the market demand for precision plastic parts continues to expand, putting pressure on plastic parts factories of European customers to upgrade their products.
Challenge
1. High labor costs but insufficient efficiency: The production of precision components involves multiple collaborative operations such as loading and unloading, and metal inlaying. The local labor costs in Europe are high, and the efficiency of manual operations is limited.
2. Unstable quality: Uneven manual demolding can easily lead to problems such as scratches and deformations on the product surface, resulting in a low product qualification rate.
RBTC Solution
RBTC, in light of its production characteristics of multiple varieties and small batches, offers a full-process injection molding automation solution and on-site installation and commissioning services to ensure the rapid commissioning of the equipment.
It is equipped with offline practical training to help operators quickly master the skills of using the equipment, lower the technical threshold and the threshold for upgrading factory automation.
Core equipment: High-precision six-axis industrial robots are selected and equipped with customized non-standard auxiliary equipment, which are seamlessly connected with injection molding machines and conveyor lines, and are suitable for the production of multiple varieties of injection molded parts.
To address the pain point of uneven manual demolding, through rapid demolding response and precise parameter control, the problems of product scratches and deformations are avoided from the root, ensuring production consistency.
Project Achievements
1. Dual improvement in production capacity and efficiency: Robots operate continuously for 24 hours, and multi-link automated collaboration reduces process waiting time. Overall production capacity has increased by 40%, and the production cycle has been shortened by 25%, successfully meeting the expansion demands of customers.
2. The pass rate has been significantly improved: The problem of uneven demolding has been solved, with a fast demolding response speed. The product pass rate has been raised to 98%, greatly reducing the loss of defective products and rework costs.
3. Optimization of labor costs: Robot automation replaces 80% of manual labor, reducing the factory's reliance on manual labor and saving a significant amount of labor costs.
