The Customer:

An automotive components supplier

The Task:

Demould and stack bulky under-the-hood parts made in an IMC process

The Problem:

How to automate handling of awkwardly-shaped frontend components

The Solution:

Use a shelf-type industrial robot with a large reach

The Outcome:

The frontend parts are made on a KM 950 MX IMC, a KraussMaffei Injection Molding Compounder. They are demolded and deposited on a conveyor belt by a shelf-type industrial robot with an extended reach and reduced payload. KraussMaffei's unique combination of process engineering, injection moulding compounding and automation delivers substantial cost benefits to our customers.
