GRIPPER RAPIDLY REMOVES PLASTIC PARTS FROM EIGHT-CAVITY MOLD

摘要

For any plastic-injection-molding tooling company, nothing is more important than making sure its molds allow for consistent, quick and clean demolding of just-made parts. So anything that helps the company achieve this crucial goal is worth pursuing. Engineers at Franke Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co. KG (FKGC)-a German injection molding tool specialist - have successfully followed this philosophy for more than 30 years. Recently, it met with FIPA Inc. in search of a gripper that can demold plastic battery covers from an eight-cavity mold and then place the covers on a conveyor for transfer to another workstation.
