High-Efficiency Machine Tending with Post-Processing Capabilities
To meet the demands of modern plastic injection processes, Comau and MGM Robotics have developed a fully integrated system using Comau’s NJ-40 anthropomorphic robots.
The solution guarantees fast cycle times, high flexibility, and integrated traceability through automated laser marking and other post-processing functions.
Smart Automation for Plastic Molding
In this application, Comau robots perform machine tending and laser marking within the same cell, ensuring seamless part management and real-time product traceability.
The robot handles components directly from the injection molding machine, performing multiple downstream operations without interrupting production.
Case Study: Comau NJ-40 in Plastic Injection Post-Processing
The EUMP system by MGM Robotics integrates Comau NJ-40 robots into a modular automation kit, offering:
- Laser marking for permanent QR-code identification
- Short cycle times and process flexibility
- Integration with additional post-process tools, including cutting, flamming, weighing, and labeling
- Full compliance with safety standards and Industry 4.0 software for real-time control
The inclusion of laser marking ensures traceability throughout the product’s lifecycle, offering added value and quality assurance.
