HT-20B In Mold Labeling Robot

Description

HT-20B In Mold Labeling Robot Overview

HT-20B in mold labeling robot is designed for automated label insertion and product takeout in the production of small and medium plastic containers from 0.1L to 5L. The system integrates label feeding, electrostatic positioning, mold entry, product removal, and downstream placement into a coordinated automation process. It can be matched with injection molding machines from 200T to 1000T and is suitable for continuous IML production where repeatable label placement and stable product handling are required. Typical applications include food containers, detergent packaging, lubricant containers, household packaging, and other rigid plastic products.

Servo Motion and Label Handling System

The HT-20B in mold labeling robot uses multi-axis servo control to coordinate label pickup, mold entry, product takeout, and product placement. The current configuration provides 1800 mm transverse travel, 400 mm label stacking travel, and 450 mm label pickup travel. A label magazine with a capacity of up to 1,000 sheets supports continuous production, while the electrostatic adsorption system helps hold and position the label during transfer. The maximum transverse speed is listed at 2.5 m/s. Final tooling and label positioning methods are customized according to the label material, container geometry, mold structure, cavity arrangement, and production requirements.

Applications for 0.1L to 5L Plastic Containers

The HT-20B in mold labeling robot is suitable for IML automation projects involving plastic containers from 0.1L to 5L. It can be configured for round, square, rectangular, and application-specific container designs. Typical applications include yogurt cups, food tubs, sauce containers, detergent packaging, lubricant containers, cosmetic packaging, household containers, and other injection molded plastic products. Container volume alone should not be used to determine robot suitability. Product dimensions, weight, label size, label position, mold structure, cavity quantity, demolding method, and target cycle time must also be evaluated before the final configuration is confirmed.

HecosTech can also provide custom in mold labeling plastic labels matched to the container design, mold structure, and automation process.

Injection Molding Machine Integration and Project Matching

The HT-20B in mold labeling robot can be integrated with injection molding machines ranging from 200T to 1000T, but machine tonnage is only an initial selection reference. Final matching should also consider tie-bar spacing, platen dimensions, mold opening stroke, ejector stroke, robot mounting position, signal interface, available installation space, safety guarding, and the required production cycle. The current specification lists a maximum load capacity of 50 kg and a minimum in-mold time of 1.1 to 2.4 seconds. Actual operating time depends on the mold, product geometry, cavity arrangement, label handling sequence, and injection molding machine conditions.
