What is the development trend of the injection molding manipulator?

At present, the application of injection molding manipulator is constantly expanding, and the technical performance is constantly improving. The current trend of development is:

1, multi-function: in the past can only complete the function of the piece, can now realize such as arrangement, stacking, burying, cutting, testing and other functions.

2, combination: in the requirements of higher applications, can be coordinated by the use of multiple manipulator operation. For example, Xiaobian saw at a 2015 rubber and plastic exhibition that a company could coordinate and cooperate with three robots to extract and install various kinds of products in a suit box.

3, tactile, visual: injection products, generally need manual inspection, to avoid defective products packaging. Using the image processing technology, the manipulator can be replaced by the manual examination, thus the manpower cost is saved.

4, intelligent (self adjustment): have a certain sense of perception (sensor), through the perception of the changes in external conditions, and make the corresponding adjustment. For example, with mechanical wear and loosening of joints, there may be slight deviations in the movement position of manipulator. Future manipulator may have self regulating ability, thus ensuring accuracy.
