What is the best position for the robot when working with an injection moulding machine?
The most suitable position for the robot is based on local requirements including such factors as unloading times required, space available, ceiling hight, retrofitting of existing automation solutions, safety, etc. The decision on where to position the robot in relation to the injection moulding machine is dependent on the specific requirements of the application with regard to handling, paths, operator control, the position of the injection mould, safety, unloading with the safety gate open or closed, accessibility for maintenance, and floor space requirements. The advantage of the new shelf mounted robots is that they can be installed on top of, alongside, or over the machine.
