RUNMA Has High Speed Take-out Robots Improved
RUNMA has extended the range of high speed robots which are primarily used in the packaging industry. The high speed take-out robots will run at high speed on injection molding machines from 80tons to 500tons. These robots can achieve a take-out time of 4 seconds and an overall cycle time of 5 seconds, which is suitable for most packaging applications like thin wall.
It leads to three key areas for change and improvement:
Lighter weight
We have discovered new ways to reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining the same functions. We have reduced nearly 15% weight of machines, primarily the moving parts, which allows smaller motors with high speed to give a greater energy reduction and lower running costs.
Lower profile
The wrist area of a robot lies at the extremity of the arm and must enter the mould during the take-out process. Any bulk removed here allows the mold opening to be reduced, saving valuable time on each cycle. We managed to create a comparable wrist that is an incredible 38% slimmer, allowing mold openings to be a vital 41mm narrower over a standard robot.
Vibration control
Vibration is a particular hindrance to high speed operation because time delays must be programmed in to allow settlement. Our engineers designed a radically new Vibration Control Technology and also created a new carbon fiber reinforced plastic arm that promotes superior vibration dampening.
We have also included our groundbreaking ECO vacuum system which reduces air consumption by up to 75% over the previous model, even better we now can monitor the energy use and air consumption in real time.
