Efficient Automation: 16,500 Injection Molded Parts Packed Autonomously in 12 Hours
After completing the preliminary development and starting stable series production, the customer suddenly requested that the parts be delivered in their own packaging instead of bulk.
Given the output of around 1,400 parts per hour, this additional task was impossible to handle economically by hand. A standardized and reliable automation solution with a robot and tray stacker now performs this job efficiently.
