Iml Robot System- Design, Safety and Performance are Important Factors

Earlier sticking on labels used to be a long drawn out process but now with technology advancing day by day, even label –sticking has become much smoother. Rapid improvements have led to the iml robot system or the in mold labelling which is done by robots. This means that the automated system picks and sticks on the labels very precisely and because of its flexibility, it can put on the labels even on the trickiest corners. It is used a lot in various industries like the food sector, medical and defence sectors along with household appliances.

The iml robot system consists of various parts like label feed gripper, stacking parts, label collecting, vaccum sucker loop and the conveyor. This system is of two types and is based on the way each iml system mould works. The robot system can either be the top enter IML robot machine or the side enter robotic IML machine. Both the systems have their own advantages. The top enter robot system is easy to install and is not at all complicated. Moreover, it is very reasonably priced. The side enter robot system has the advantage of an excellent working speed because of its ability to work on both sides and therefore it also has a short cycle period along with an extremely reliable performance capability. The customer can choose either type of the machine according to his requirements.

Many in mould labelling robot system has a gripper which can be interchanged and different sizes and shapes of the molds can use the same robotic machine. The crucial part is that the gripper should correspond to the chosen size.

While selecting the iml robot system, it should be borne in mind that the morecompact the size, the more its adaptability to various molding machines. The installation too is faster and simpler. The design should not be too complicated and it should guarantee utmost safety and must be ergonomically-built. It should also be low-maintenance and space-saving.

There are many advantages in using a reputed brand’s iml robot system. Firstly, the range of label thickness will be higher and can accommodate labels from 50u till 500u. It will also accommodate labels which are electrostatically low. Secondly, the mechanism will be simple but the machine will be extremely durable which will result in low cost maintenance. Thirdly, the iml robot system offers both vacuum and static functions for sticking labels and is thus more flexible and adaptable to various products. Fourthly, it can integrate well with any type of mold machine. The technical integration will much superior to any offered by inferior manufacturers.

The safety, performance and design concept of iml robot system is of prime importance.
