    [ Star Enterprise of Chemical Machinery Equipment Network] During the injection molding process, the fixture usually needs to wait for the start signal of the injection molding machine before entering the open mold
    .
    With KraussMaffei's automated "synchronized motion" function, gripper start-up is faster and cycle time is saved
    .

    Injection, pressure holding, cooling stages - injection molding is a continuous process, each step is basically optimized, and there is little improvement potential to optimize cycle time
    .
    Although automated systems account for a small percentage of total processing time, in most applications, part removal affects the overall cycle time to some extent
    .

     

    Normally, the robot does not receive an operation signal until the mold is fully opened
    .
    The "synchronized motion" function allows the robot to enter early
    .
    The robot has thus reached the removal position of the assembly during the remainder of the mould opening movement
    .
    The movements of the mould and handling system overlap, saving time
    .

     

    Thanks to KraussMaffei's synchronized motion function, the robot's gripper starts faster, which saves cycle time
    .

     

    This technology synchronizes the movement of component release and mold opening, minimizing non-productive time and sometimes even eliminating expensive fixture hardware
    .

     

    Typically, ejection motion is used for parts that are difficult to demold
    .
    This means the robot grabs the finished part during demolding and the ejector pushes the component onto the fixture
    .
    This requires the use of expensive pneumatic systems (for the "depressurization" step) during processing
    .

     

      However, if the gripper moves with the ejector, a pneumatic system is not required
    .
    Depending on the complexity of the application, the jig, part or ejector can move synchronously, allowing customers to optimize their production process
    .

     

      According to KraussMaffei, the synchronized movements can reduce demold times by about 35%
    .
    In the production of waste containers, for example, this means that the overall cycle time is reduced by 6%, with a corresponding increase in the total annual output
    .
    Turnover rates are up to 5% for pallets and 4% for crates
    .

     

      The new KraussMaffei injection molding machines and their MC6 machine control systems are now equipped with the "synchronized motion" function
    .
    This feature provides a technological advantage for linear robots of the LRX series and IR industrial robots from KraussMaffei, helping manufacturers reduce costs and increase efficiency
    .
