Injection molding with collaborative robots realizes ROI in 1,500 hours

Midgard Inc. has deployed dexterous 6-axis cobots from Universal Robots to handle both the tending of injection molding machines and secondary operations in the same cycle. The optimized, automated production process saw a quick return, reduced scrap rate to nearly zero, and improved worker ergonomics.

It is no surprise anymore that robotic automation offers advantages for a wide range of applications, including injection molding.

With the Injection Molding Machine Interface (IMMI), the collaborative robots leader has launched a user-friendly and quick solution for plastics manufacturers to integrate Universal Robots with injection molding machines.
