End of arm tooling companies specialise in providing the devices used on robotic arms to handle plastic parts in manufacturing. These tools, known as end of arm tooling (EOAT), allow robots to interact with moulded components.
End of arm tooling solutions include vacuum systems, which use suction cups to pick up plastic parts from smooth surfaces, and gripper systems, which physically grip components, like sprues or runners.
Continue readingAutomation systems for plastic moulding are transforming production processes by enhancing efficiency, improving precision and consistency, and reducing costs. These automation systems, or automation cells, use advanced machinery and robotics to automate tasks once done manually, enabling continuous, high-volume production.
Choosing the right supplier for your automation cell or system is critical for manufacturers in the plastics industry aiming to improve their production capabilities and efficiency. This article highlights the top 5 suppliers of automation systems making a significant impact in the plastic moulding sector.
A Proof of Principle prototype – often referred to as Proof of Concept – is the process of identifying if a particular process or group of processes are robust enough for full-scale automation.
The world’s leading intelligent lock manufacturer approached RNA to design and develop a robot de-moulding & assembly cell system to handle and assemble plastic moulded letter box facia plates.
As indicated in the name, automation refers to something automatically occurring. Within manufacturing, process and production automation occurs with the use of robots and control systems, amongst other things which reduce direct human involvement.
Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution that will take the manufacturing industry by storm. It is a form of radical and disruptive innovation that will see an enormous opportunity for the manufacturing industry.
