  • LIZHU Vertical Injection Molding Machine Works with Industrial Robot for Automated Production of Small Plastic Parts

    As injection molding production becomes increasingly automated, robotic part removal, product transfer, and automatic positioning are being applied to injection molding processes. This case combines a vertical injection molding machine with an industrial robot and peripheral automation equipment to handle and transfer small plastic parts, creating continuous coordination between molding and subsequent automated processes.
    As shown in the video, after the vertical injection molding machine completes molding, the yellow industrial robot enters the working area and uses a dedicated gripper to pick up the molded plastic parts and transfer them to the designated position. The parts are then conveyed and positioned by the automated mechanisms before entering the subsequent automated station.

Case Details

1. Vertical Injection Molding for Part Production
The vertical injection molding machine performs the molding process for the plastic parts. Its vertical working configuration provides convenient access for robotic part removal and allows coordination with peripheral automation equipment.

2. Automated Robotic Part Removal
After molding, the industrial robot moves to the designated position and uses a dedicated gripper to pick up the parts and remove them from the machine working area.
The robot repeatedly performs part removal and transfer according to the programmed sequence, reducing the need for frequent manual handling and allowing the parts to move automatically to the next station.

3. Part Conveying and Positioning
After the robot places the parts at the designated position, the automated mechanisms convey and position them. Multiple product positions and tooling structures can be seen in the video, with the parts transferred according to the production sequence.
Automated conveying and positioning help maintain a continuous workflow between the injection molding machine and subsequent stations.

4. Coordinated Automated Operation
The production cell combines the vertical injection molding machine, industrial robot, and automated conveying and positioning mechanisms.
The equipment performs molding, part removal, transfer, and positioning according to a preset sequence, reducing manual intervention and connecting the different production steps automatically.

Customer Benefits
● Reduced Manual Operations: The robot performs part removal and transfer, reducing repetitive manual handling.
● Improved Production Continuity: Coordinated operation between the injection molding machine, robot, and automation equipment helps reduce manual waiting and auxiliary operations.
● Automated Conveying and Positioning: Parts are automatically transferred and positioned, supporting smooth connection with subsequent processes.
● Flexible Automation: Robot grippers, movements, and peripheral automation equipment can be adjusted according to product and production requirements.
This case combines a LIZHU vertical injection molding machine with an industrial robot and automated equipment to achieve coordinated molding, automatic part removal, transfer, and positioning of small plastic parts, providing a practical solution for automated injection molding production.
