Assignment

A new clean room solution for the removal of injection moulded parts from 96 cavities must be found to replace bulk material operation. The parts are to be transported to a packaging machine and, if necessary, it must be possible to eject parts for quality control and rejected parts from the system.

Solution

A variety of concepts were drawn up and evaluated together with the customer. Fast performance, handling of conical injection moulded parts made of a flexible material, clean room suitability and the requirements on the production of medical products took centre stage here. For the final concept of the handling gripper, a prototype was made and feasibility tests were conducted. In this way, the prototype was optimised for the influences of the injection moulding process, the injection moulding material and the shape of the parts.

Customer benefits

This system impresses with its reduction of waste parts and consistent quality through the targeted removal of individual injection moulded parts and its high performance as well. More efficient quality control with regard to the cavities and simplified quality control part ejection top off the added value for the customer.
