What Role Does the Robot Play in an In-Mold Labeling (IML) Project?

In-mold labeling is a systematic project, composed of several main components such as the injection molding machine, mold, robot, and cooling system. Among them, the robot mainly performs the actions of label placement and finished product extraction.

    I. Common Forms & Solution Selection of IML Robots

According to different product characteristics and cycle time requirements, IML robots are mainly divided into the following two forms:

II. Summary & Exchange

As the core link of the in-mold labeling system engineering, the robot—selecting the appropriate extraction form (side-entry or top-entry)—directly determines the efficiency and stability of the entire production line.
