Injection Molding Machines and IML Robots

• Operator terminal with 7” color touch screen, with ergonomic gripping and anti-panic button
• Simple, quick autolearning of positions by means of dedicated screens which can be personalized for every work cycle
• Vacuum level adjustment for monitoring of piece presence on pickup device directly by the Touch Screen control, memorized in each work cycle.
• Air Energy Saving System allowing up to 80% reduction of the air consumed for vacuum generation, by means of a Venturi ejector system
• Modification of working positions (with safety ensured), times and counters during robot automatic cycle
• Parallel programs for management of auxiliary tooling without affecting the robot’s operating phases
• Auxiliary functions available: pneumatic axes, vacuum, grippers, belts, peripherals
• Advanced programming functions for complex cycle creation
• Control of up to 6 servo-motorized axes
• Extraction cycle with function that reduces the torque to be used if the robot’s movement cannot be synchronized with that of the mold extractors.
• S-shaped acceleration ramps to reduce vibration and protect mechanical components
• Dynamic advance functions for high-speed cycles
• Automatic speed and acceleration optimization during unloading phase. ECO-MODE
• 8 working areas to establish permitted robot paths
• Expandable inputs/outputs
• Names of inputs, outputs and parameters can be customized from the Touch Screen for clearer understanding of special work cycles.
• Palletizing macros for simple configuration of the sequence and number of pieces for placing
• Automatic work cycle selection by means of a code received from the gripper or injection molding machine
• Multi-level passwords to restrict access to the robot’s functions as appropriate to the operator’s experience level
• Multilingual support, including two with immediate selection.
• Alarm log for diagnostics and monitoring of any malfunctions
• USB port for backup of robot programs and parameters on memory sticks
• Ethernet connection for remote assistance and connection to the company network
• System parameters configurable from the control to activate the management of devices and functions
• Offline programming
• Control of the molding machine’s radial cylinders, conveyor belt and peripherals
