How can substrates be loaded into injection molding machines?
Context
Overmolding is a manufacturing process in which a second material, typically a soft elastomer or plastic, is molded over a preformed substrate to create a single component with enhanced grip, sealing, protection, or aesthetics.
Substrate must be loaded in the injection machine to be partially cover by the overmold material.
Challenge
Overmolding productivity depends on keeping the molding machine running continuously, which requires substrates to be loaded quickly and reliably.
As substrate geometry varies with the final product being manufactured, feeding solutions must handle a wide range of part types.
Solution
Asyril’s flexible feeding solutions streamline overmolding operations by automatically singulating, orienting, and presenting inserts such as O-rings and flat seals.
Combining Asycube and EYE+, the system ensures reliable robot loading while enabling rapid changeovers, maximizing machine uptime, and providing the flexibility to process multiple insert variants on the same production line.
