The applications of Robots in the plastic industry

Businesses are hesitant to consider robotic automation, especially if they have never deployed robots in their factory even when realizing the benefits that robots can bring to their business. Today, Robots have been programmed and designed to be ready for almost any task and your need. The subsidy of robot lines makes it easier for businesses to breathe if they want to invest in a robotic system for their factory.

How are robots changing the plastic industry?

Robots have long been used in the plastic industry. Since the 1980s, they have been used in large manufacturing facilities with duties including material handling, machining and gluing.

Now, after 41 years, robots have been used more in the plastic industry. Robots offer a multitude of benefits to companies in the plastics industry, including higher productivity, better consistency, longer working hours, and safer working conditions for people.
 

Typical and popular applications of industrial robots in the plastic industry

• Injection molding: Picking - placing, cutting bavia, checking the appearance of products from injection molds
• Blow molding: Picking - placing, cutting bavia, checking the appearance of products from blow molds
• Plastic welding: Attaching plastic welding equipment and tools to the robot combined with a bond inspection system to detect errors and automatically weld at complex positions
• Sorting: arranging products after high-speed and precise processing to ensure product quality and time
• Spraying paint: combining the paint sprayer mounted on the robot to spray evenly on the surface of the product with high accuracy and safety
