Injection Manipulator Empowers Efficient Processing of Cosmetic Plastic Outer Packaging —— Jiangsu Tianqixing Robot Releases Special Application Solution

Recently, Jiangsu Tianqixing Robot Co., Ltd. launched a special application solution of injection manipulator in the processing of cosmetic plastic packaging products for the field of cosmetic packaging manufacturing. This scheme focuses on the injection molding and post-processing of plastic products such as cosmetic packaging bottles, bottle caps, lipstick tubes, pump head shells, etc., and replaces manual parts picking and processing operations with automated robots, which helps enterprises to improve production efficiency, stabilize product quality and reduce labor costs.

Cosmetic plastic packaging requires high surface quality, dimensional accuracy and cleanliness, and has the characteristics of small weight, large batch and frequent replacement. For a long time, most injection workshops have relied on manual work to complete the processes such as opening the mold, taking parts, cutting the nozzle, placing and turning around, which is not only labor intensive, but also prone to in-mold damage caused by product scratches, contamination, untimely taking parts, and quality fluctuation caused by night shift fatigue. In view of these pain points, Jiangsu Tianqixing, based on its own injection manipulator products and combined with the technological characteristics of cosmetics packaging industry, has formed a complete application scheme covering injection taking out, automatic cutting, positioning and placing and signal linkage.

In the take-out stage, according to the mold opening mode and product layout, the scheme configures the manipulator with appropriate drawing stroke and special fixture, so that the multi-cavity product can be taken out quickly and smoothly after mold opening, and the take-out period is accurately matched with the production rhythm of injection molding machine, thus reducing the waiting time of empty mold. The fixture is made of soft material and copying design, which can effectively reduce the pinch and scratch when grasping fragile thin-walled parts such as bottle body and bottle cap, and protect the appearance of the product.

In the process of cutting and shaping, aiming at the post-processing requirements such as nozzle and flash, the scheme integrates automatic cutting station. After the product is taken out of the mold by the manipulator, it is sent to the cutting device according to the set trajectory to complete the nozzle separation instead of manual cutting. The cutting position and action can be adjusted, which can adapt to different specifications of packages, and the treated products have good consistency, reducing the pollution of secondary burrs to the clean workshop environment.

In the placement and turnover process, the manipulator can neatly place the finished products on the tray or conveying line according to the product direction and stacking requirements according to the set number of layers and spacing, so as to ensure the orderly discharge and facilitate subsequent inspection, assembly and packing. The scheme also supports linkage with injection molding machine signals to realize automatic logic such as mold opening signal trigger, take-out confirmation and abnormal alarm, so as to improve the stability of the whole line operation.

The implementation of this application scheme has brought many improvements to cosmetics packaging manufacturers. In terms of production efficiency, the manipulator takes the parts stably and with the same rhythm, which reduces the influence of manual operation on the molding cycle and improves the equipment utilization rate. In quality control, automatic picking and handling effectively reduces scratches and stains caused by manual contact, improves product appearance consistency, and reduces the risk of in-mold damage caused by untimely picking. At the level of employment, repetitive picking, placing and shearing operations are completed by equipment, and enterprises can shift their manpower to more valuable inspection, technology and debugging posts, thus alleviating the pressure brought by the difficulty in recruiting workers and the rising labor cost. In addition, the scheme operates in a clean workshop environment, which reduces the interference of human factors and helps to meet the requirements of cosmetic packaging for cleanliness and hygiene.

Jiangsu Tianqixing Robot Co., Ltd. has long been focusing on the research and development and manufacturing of injection molding robots and automation equipment, and its products are used in many industries such as home appliances, auto parts, daily necessities and packaging. In the field of cosmetics packaging, enterprises can provide integrated services of manipulator selection, fixture design, peripheral equipment integration and installation and debugging according to customers' specific mold structure, product size and production rhythm, and provide follow-up support according to changes in production lines.

The launch of this special solution is another extension of Jiangsu Tianqixing's application in sub-sectors. The enterprise said that it will continue to be close to the actual needs of the manufacturing site, continuously optimize product and process matching around injection molding automation, provide stable and practical automation options for more light industry and packaging manufacturing enterprises, and help improve production quality and efficiency.
