With the right gripper concept, the automatic removal of injection-molded parts is child's play
Injection molded parts can have simple, flat or very complex shapes. The gripper must be designed accordingly for automatic removal. The requirements increase if the parts to be removed are to be chrome-plated later.
With the acquisition of SAS and Feba Automation, Piab has specialized in developing gripper concepts for different levels of complexity. Piab's gripper concept based on round profiles is particularly suitable for complex, geometrically complex components, such as those commonly used in the automotive industry for bumpers, which are removed from the die side - i.e. the nozzle side. It allows greater flexibility with regard to the positioning of the components on the gripper. The lower weight of the gripper protects the robot's mechanics and reduces its susceptibility to faults. Accordingly, higher payloads or the use of a smaller robot are possible.
