SIDE ENTRY ROBOT

Packaging, IML/IMD and Thin Wall Injection Molded Part Robotic Workcell Solutions

CLINTON, MA (November 21, 2005) – Automated Assemblies Corporation, a leading U.S. designer and manufacturer of robots and workcell solutions for the plastics injection molding industry, has introduced the newest addition to the Raptor® advanced technology product line.  The Raptor® SE-310 High Performance Side Entry Robot, with configurations available for presses from 100 tons to 600 tons, delivers molded parts at speeds of over 5.2 meters per second.  Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber end of arm tooling and the patented InteliMotion™ dynamic Raptor motion control combine to deliver responsive and repeatable part handling of molded parts.

The Raptor SE-310 High Performance Side Entry Robot was developed by Automated Assemblies in response to the quest of manufacturers for more flexible and efficient part handling at rates that match consumer demand.  Sold under the Raptor name, the SE-310 is easy to install and operate, and is available integrated with an IML/IMD Workcell or Packaging System.   

 

 

As with all Raptor products, multiple camera Raptor Vision™ is available as an integrated part inspection option.  Key features of the Raptor SE-310 High Performance Side Entry Robot are:

-          Rigid steel beam construction

      -          200 ton configuration - Traverse Strokes from 55”/1400mm to 78”/2000mm with 15lbs./7Kg payload

      -          350 ton configuration - Traverse Strokes from 78”/2000mm to 98”/2500mm with 22lbs./10Kg payload

      -          600-ton configuration - Traverse Strokes from 98”/2500mm to 118”/3000mm and 33lbs. /15Kg payload

      -          Raptor controller for robot and workcell I/O, vision, network communications, and Icon based user      programming

      -          Floor, tabletop, and overhead robot mounting options

      -          Single and double arm configurations

      -          IML/IMD workcell solutions

      -          Storage container stacking systems

      -          Box loading and layer packing systems

 Company spokesmen state that the Raptor SE-310 High Performance Side Entry Robot complements the trend established by the successful development of the Raptor family of top entry robots and controller.  The advantages of the Raptor products start with the industry’s’ most user friendly “drag and drop” icon based programming on the large color touch screen and continue with the high payload and performance of the robots.  Processors benefit from the innovations and expertise of Automated Assemblies that has evolved over 34 years of service to plastics injection molders.

 Automated Assemblies designs and manufactures advanced technology workcells and application-specific robotic solutions including vision inspection, part packaging, insert molding, and IML/IMD.  Most importantly, AAC provides customer support that begins with the understanding of the initial challenges faced by plastics processors, and continues beyond the life cycle of the molded products.  Automated Assemblies has served the plastics industry since 1971.  Sales and service are available in the Americas, Asia and Europe .
