Currently, air cylinder type sprue pickers are still widely used in injection molding machines.
This time, we will introduce a servo-driven sprue picker.
Problems
Don't you have any following problems?
- From sales development to customers, the company has succeeded in receiving orders for new molds, but the production volume is so high that the company needs to add molding machines.
- There is no space in the factory for additional molding machines.
- Building a new factory would be costly and time-consuming.
Solution
To replace the current air cylinder type sprue picker with a servo-driven sprue picker.

Result
Shorten the take-out cycle
- Air cylinder type:2.1 seconds
Servo-driven type:0.8 seconds
→Reducing the cycle time by 62% *In Harmo’s comparison
For example, assuming a molding cycle of 10 seconds for 12 pieces and molding for 24 hours.
The daily production volume of the air cylinder type is 103,680 pieces, while that of the servo-driven type is 119,172 pieces, per month allowing an increase of 464,760 pieces.
If you multiply the quantity you could increase by the unit selling price of the product, you will find that you can pay the initial cost.
If you can increase productivity by 15% by replacing the take-out robot, it means that you can produce the same productivity with 100 molding machines instead of 115 molding machines.
