Sprue picker

The IAP1 was developed for engagement in stripper and ejector moulds. Lubricant-free igus plain bearing materials are used for the movement by means of a link guide, as well as spindle and drive technology. A dynamic 1-axis picker with electric drive. The picker is particularly suitable for the automation and retrofitting of small injection moulding machines and allows the removal and separation of sprues in a very confined space. The system can be fully integrated into the injection moulding machine, with fast r, moval within the standard protective housing. Total mould open to close cycle in 1.25 seconds. The picker has a modular design. For example, the base can be individually adapted for different machine types. The solution is a stand-alone device including motor control with simple programming. No additional software is required.
