ROBOTS AND AUTOMATION | TECHNOLOGY
Above: Photo shows an innovative system from Sytrama that provides an alternative to the standard solutions of cup vibrators used for loading inserts into the mould (in this case, filters for respiratory masks). It consists of a rotating bowl that distributes the inserts and SCARA robot with a vision system that sends the coordinates of the piece to be picked up by the robot
Engel all-electric E-motion high-performance machines help Ypsomed ensure high-precision, zero-defect production. An injector pen, for example, consists of between 11 and 15 parts – de- pending on the model – and they are assembled fully automatically. Ypsomed has also started to standardise the automation of injection moulding processes. “We have had very good experience with Engel for the [injection] machines,” says Mengis. “That’s why we chose Engel as our partner for automation of injection moulding processes too.” Moulding machines are now being equipped with Engel Viper linear robots. Engel says its new compact cell, unveiled at K2019, also plays a key role. It says the standardised design makes it particularly easy to integrate a wide variety of automation components and other downstream process units. “It encapsulates all the components while remaining significantly narrower than standard safety guarding,” the company says. “In terms of footprint, the compact cell is
unbeatable,” says Marlon Trachsel, Process Man- ager Production Technology at Ypsomed in Switzerland.
