 ABSTRACT

In today’s plastics industry industrial robots have been used across all areas of plastic production,
including injection moulding related processes. From loading components into the injection moulding
machine to finishing and assembling injection moulded parts, the use of robotics provides plastics
manufacturers with a competitive advantage with marked increases in productivity and high quality. Besides
this, robots are more frequently used in post processing outside of the moulding process, such as welding,
assembly and packaging tasks, driven by an increasing demand for more flexible solutions. Pick and place
robots enable companies to use automated solutions for lifting objects from one location and placing them at
other locations. Simple tasks such as lifting objects or moving them do not require a lot of thought
processes. Therefore, using human workers on these tasks can be wasteful, as the workforce can be used for
other tasks that require higher mental abilities. These repetitive tasks are handled by pick and place robots.
These robots are often equipped with sensors and vision systems to lift objects from moving conveyor belt.

 1. INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO PICK AND PLACE ROBOT FOR INJECTION

MOULDING MACHINE

Injection moulding is the most traditional plastic parts manufacturing procedure. Using
injection moulding, a large range of items are made, varying in scale, complexity and
implementation. Hot runner is better than cold runner but is seldom utilised due to high cost and
difficulty. Every substance needs a complicated set of parameters such as injection temperature,
injection pressure, flow rate, mould temperature, ejection temperature, cooling rate and cycle
time. Improper set of parameters leads to many flow lines, burn marks, warping, vacuum voids /
air pockets, sink openings, weld lines, jetting. Few defects, including discoloration, plastic use
and delamination storage. Quick shots and flash triggers faulty construction or fix. These
criteria include process optimization and defect-removal collection. The impact of these criteria
on moulding process and recommendations to generate defect-free components needs more
study.

Injection molding technology is one of the main methods of industrial processing. Most
injection machines used in industry today are screw-type injection machines. According to the
driving mode, injection machines are mainly divided into electric injection machines and
hydraulic injection machines.[1-3] It is a powerful molding method that can mold plastic
products of various shapes and sizes. It is also the preferred process for products with complex
three-dimensional structures. From micron gears,[4-6] micron needles,[7-9] etc. to plastic
bottles, plastic barrels and daily necessities that are common in daily life, they can be molded
by injection molding. Injection molding technology can be used for a variety of materials,
including composite materials, foamed materials, thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics and
rubber, etc.[10-17] There are also various forms of injection molding such as gas-assisted
molding, waterassisted molding, micro-injection molding, injection foam molding, low-
pressure molding, injection compression molding, etc.[18-29]

1.1 Literature Survey :

Robotics has become most common course in higher education or industries most of them are for
industry purpose . In industries there are many robots are available but most of them are costly. There
is need to develop a low-cost system for students or small-scale industries. For students it will be
useful for learning the elements of robotics such as kinematics, dynamics, sensing, and control. The
aim of the project is to develop and design a mechanical structure of a robotic arm that can perform
various operations like pick and place the object, material handling, welding, etc. the main objective
is to control the robotic arm automatically and manually. This project focuses upon to create more
useful, and build more compact, cheaper robotic arm to perform various dangerous tasks and to
eliminate human error to get more precise result . History – Conceived from a design for a mechanical
arm patented in 1954(granted in 1961) by American inventor George Devol.

1.2 Problem Definition :-

Plastic injection moulding is a commonly used manufacturing process for producing plastic parts.
The injection moulding process requires the use of an injection moulding machine, raw plastic
material, and a mould. Raw plastic material is fed into a heated barrel, melted, mixed and then
injected into a mould cavity, where it cools and hardens into the shape of the mould.

1.5 Methodology
14
Plastic injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing plastic products in large volume. It
is typically used in mass-production processes where the identical products are being made repeatedly
and Industrial robots can perform these highly repetitive tasks. The most common application is machine
tending – to unload finished parts from the injection moulding machine ready for downstream processes.
In traditional injection moulding, this task is labour intensive and requires high consistency in handling
due to the heat sensitive material being moulded. The use of a robot can relieve operators from repetitive
work and the risk of injuries, resulting in improved product consistency and production capacity. Robots
equipped with pneumatic grippers or vacuum can ensure the careful handling of newly injected moulded
parts and avoid damage. Robots are also relied on to perform insert moulding. Insert moulding involves
encapsulating an ‘insert’ in moulded plastic. Most often, the insert is a metal object such as a pin, blade,
threaded rod and so on. (Picture 1) Inserts can either be put inside plastic moulded parts during or after
the injection moulding process. The following picture (Picture 2) shows two six-axis robots loading and
unloading a vertical injection moulding machine and adding an insert to the moulding. The inserts are
presented to the first robot, which loads them into the machine for the moulding process. There are
multiple designs of pick and place robots, based on the specific application for which they are used. The
basic principle of most of these designs is on similar lines. These robots are typically mounted on a
stable stand, and have a long arm that can reach their entire area of operation. The end of arm attachment
is specialized to the type of objects the robot intends to move. These robots can transfer items from a
stationary surface to a stationary surface, stationary to a moving surface, moving to a stationary surface,
and moving to a moving surface (such as between two conveyor belts). The proposed system is divided
in two major parts, an on-board embedded device (situation node)& emergency control terminal room.
We have divided vehicular emergencies into five different types according to their characteristics like
medical, accident, civil, criminal, and mechanical.
