What led to the development of the Take-out Robots? |
|
Among plastic molded products, those with thinner constructions that are used in tableware and kitchen utensils, medical equipment, optical disks and other fields are mass produced. There is a strong call in these fields for higher production efficiency. For that reason, using part removal robots in molding processes to shorten total cycle times using higher-speed operation has become a primary focus of interest. A tiny difference of a fraction of a second in the cycle time can mean a huge difference in the overall productivity of the plant. Another demand is for machines that can repeat the same operation many thousands of times in succession without an error. The part removal robot is a dedicated machine that can meet these exacting demands continuously, at ultra-high speeds. With the explosive growth taking place in the information equipment market, a world record of 0.069 seconds has been achieved in the field of mass-produced CDs, DVDs, and other optical disks (by the ultra-high speed disk part removal robot DRDIII). That achievement has been highly acclaimed by the industry worldwide.
