Insert Molding and
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 has 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 molded part. 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.
