Insert Molding & In-Mold Labeling (IML) |
Insert
Molding and In-Mold Labeling are two of the most
difficult tasks for either an operator or an EOAT to
perform.
Insert Molding is the
process of placing small parts into a mold that then
become part of the finished product. The robot must be
able to assure proper placement and alignment of the
inserts. Our experience designing EOAT for insert
placement have made the process second nature to us,
regardless of complexity or size.

IML is the process of placing labels into the mold
so that they become part of the finished product. We
have developed and patented a process for IML that
does not require mechanical gripping of the label by
the tool or in the mold, leaving a much cleaner
surface on the finished part.
IML
processes are increasingly popular because of their
labor saving benefits. But equally important is their
ability to produce a better part - with more
accurately placed labels that adhere permanently.
Advantages of In-Mold
Labeling
- Robot handles the
process
- Accurate label
placement
- Reduced waste
- Constant cycle times
- Label becomes part
of the finished part - does not rely on adhesive
- No edge to peel back
for fingers to remove.
The >SAS< patented
(U.S. P at. #6,416,706) Insert Mold System can be
applied to other parts including metal inserts, cloth,
and vinyl. Our EOAT makes your parts better with
accurate placement of a permanent label at less cost
with reduced waste and labor.

Automation a introduit maintenant sur le marché
des broches d’indexage sur ressort pour les
applications de moulage d'insertion (IM)
Quand il s'agit du surmoulage, il faut
souvent une précision de pointe pour l'insertion des pièces. Le
préhenseur doit exécuter souvent encore plusieurs processus en même
temps. Au cas de tolérance minime et d'applications complexes on n'y
arrive qu'en employant des broches d'indexage. Elles fournissent la
sécurisation nécessaire que moule et préhenseur se raccordent bien
l'un à l'autre.
Caractéristiques :
- Les broches ont une précision de +/-
0,025mm
( 0.001 inches)
- Elles sont dimensionnées pour s’adapter
facilement à votre préhenseur, votre robot et votre moule
- Les broches peuvent s’adapter aux boulons
de centrage déjà existants sur votre moule.
- Des longueurs, courses et dimensions
spécifiques sont disponibles
