ALLROUNDER 375 V: Efficient, traceable part production
How digitalisation and automation work hand in hand to produce plastic parts efficiently and with 100% traceability and recyclability, will be demonstrated using a turnkey system that manufactures vacuum housings. The SCADA system ARBURG Turnkey Control Module (ATCM) makes it possible to link material and process data. The fully automated application is also an application example of the R-Cycle initiative.
A vertical ALLROUNDER 375 V is at the centre of the production cell. The hanging-mounted automation does require not any additional space. The six-axis robot first transfers two metal bushings to the mould where they are overmoulded with polyamide PA6 (GF30). The "aXw Control ReferencePilot" ensures homogeneous material preparation and consistently high product quality. The cycle time is around 30 s. The injection moulded parts are marked with two QR codes by a laser station for part-specific traceability and for reading R-Cycle information.
The SCADA system ATCM is the key technology for linking and tracing material and process data. The part-specific data from the injection moulding process and the automation will be collected and linked with the results of the visual inspection of the insert. The component ID ensures that the part quality is seamlessly documented.
On the other hand, the application is a practical example of R-Cycle and digital product passports: the ATCM passes on data relevant to processing and recycling and enables standardised data exchange across company boundaries. The data is stored in digital product passports. In this way, information relevant to recycling can be viewed and utilised across the entire value chain.
