In injection molding mass production plants, take-out machines contribute to improving the efficiency of the production process and ensuring product quality. As part of automation in manufacturing and processing industries, molding machines and take-out machines are expected to work together to ensure smooth production.
In addition, camera inspection uses image recognition to detect and record shorts and other defects in molded products. This is also expected to improve the efficiency of the production process and reduce the occurrence of defects, for example by eliminating them so that they are not mixed with good products.
Normally, the molded products taken out of the ejector are placed on a conveyor, and the camera inspection is performed on the placed molded products.
The molded product is placed on the conveyor and is inspected by a camera.
However, since similar molded products are brought in front of the operator, it is difficult to determine which molded product is defective, even if the defect is determined by camera inspection. This makes it difficult to determine which molded product is defective.
Which ones are defective?
In this case, if “only good products” are placed on the conveyor, the worker only needs to pack and transport the flowing items. So how do we get only the good products onto the conveyor?
Our approach is to take the molded product out of the machine, and then put it through a camera inspection while it is still in the grip of the take-out machine. After the camera inspection, if the product is good, it is placed on the conveyor, but if it is defective, it is not placed on the conveyor but in the defective box.
This means that the take-out machine will sort out good or defective products.
This process review has not only reduced the workload of workers, but has also reduced the defect rate.
