Set-up station for automation

Darstellung einer Rüstinsel in einer Spritzguss-Automatisierung, die den Rüstprozess optimiert. Die Rüstinsel ist direkt neben der Automatisierungsanlage positioniert und bietet eine strukturierte, staubgeschützte Aufbewahrung für Werkzeuge und Greifer. Auf einer rutschfesten Arbeitsfläche können Greifer und Endeffektoren effizient angepasst werden, wodurch Laufwege minimiert und die Rüstzeiten verkürzt werden. Die Arbeitsumgebung ist ordentlich und sicher gestaltet, um die Produktivität zu steigern.

Die Station verfügt über ein Rasterblech mit befestigten Werkzeugen wie Schraubendrehern und einem Schraubenschlüssel, sowie eine geneigte Arbeitsfläche mit rutschfester Oberfläche. Im unteren Bereich befinden sich Schubladen zur Werkzeugaufbewahrung.
Die Schubladen an der apra-lean Rüstinsel bieten eine übersichtliche und geschützte Aufbewahrung aller Greifer, individuell angepasst an die Anforderungen der jeweiligen Automatisierung.

The challenges in injection moulding automation are many and varied. The set-up of removal robots in particular - especially the changing of end effectors such as grippers and vacuum cups - often harbours potential for optimisation. Long walking distances, confusing tool storage and cumbersome work processes delay the production process and cost valuable time. The set-up station offers an innovative solution that effectively addresses these challenges.

Challenges in classic set-up practice

Injection moulding machines with automatic removal robots are the backbone of many production lines. However, in practice, those responsible repeatedly encounter the following problems:

  • Long walking distances: Grippers and tools are often located in different places, which considerably increases set-up times.
  • Unclear organisation: Tools and accessories are often scattered or stored in an unstructured manner.
  • Decentralised conversions: Adjustments to grippers are made away from the machines, which means additional travelling and time losses.

The smart solution: set-up stations directly on the automation system

The introduction of the set-up station eliminates this inefficiency. The concept makes it possible to seamlessly integrate the entire set-up process into the production environment.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Minimised walking distances: The set-up station is moved directly next to the automation system, reducing walking distances to a minimum. Maximum time saving!
  • Optimised conversion: Grippers can be adjusted directly on site on a specialised work surface with a non-slip rubber mat.
  • Dust-protected storage: Drawer modules offer clear and protected storage of all grippers, customised to the requirements of the respective application.
    Automation.
  • Tools to hand: All the necessary tools are clearly structured and directly available, eliminating search times and walking distances.

Process optimisation made easy

The set-up station significantly reduces set-up times and minimises machine downtimes. At the same time, employees benefit from a tidy and safe working environment.
Working environment.

The result: more efficient processes, reduced costs and higher productivity.

Conclusion: More efficiency through well thought-out solutions

The set-up station impressively demonstrates how targeted measures can make everyday work in injection moulding automation easier. By integrating this solution, companies benefit from shorter throughput times and a sustainable improvement in process quality.

Take advantage of the opportunities offered by modern automation and make your production future-proof - with innovative set-up concepts such as the set-up station.
