Wittmann has introduced a completely new solution
for In-Mold Labelling (IML) which offers the
highest efficiency with the lowest capital cost.
The new W717 robot IML system is designed for molding machines from 90 to 275 tons and cycle
times of 5 seconds or more. The system provides
automatic insertion of labels into one and two cavity
molds and free drop of the finished parts.
The label magazine, mounted on the kick-stroke
frame, is designed for maximum label dimensions
of 8” x 8” and provides a buffer of up to 1 hour
of production. It provides positive pick-up of the
labels by the robot EOAT and convenient horizontal
loading of new labels by the operator. The
EOAT houses the electrostatic charger.
Changeover between different label designs can be
easily accomplished by simply changing the label
magazine and tooling, resulting in fast amortization
of the system over a variety of products.
As a full package provider WITTMANN can
supply the W717 IML system with the appropriate
molds, designed for short cycle times and highest
reliability.
