Success Story - Delivering Precision with Dedicated Sprue Cutting Stations

Gimatic has established itself as a leading provider of End-Of-Arm-Tooling (EOAT) solutions and dedicated sprue cutting stations for plastic injection molding processes worldwide. But let's see how Gimatic Romania tackles the challenge of removing sprues-the waste material used to inject plastic into molds-efficiently and without damaging the final parts.

Traditionally, sprue cutting can be achieved in two ways:

• On-the-EOAT: The sprue is cut directly by the gripper before placing the parts on the conveyor for further processing.
• Conveyor-based: Dedicated sprue cutters are positioned on the conveyor belt, and the robot used for picking parts from the injection machine simply deposits them at the cutting station.

However, these methods may not always be feasible. Complex part geometries or tight tolerance requirements might necessitate a more controlled environment.

?This is where Gimatic Romania's dedicated sprue cutting stations come into play.

Precision Cutting for Novares

A recent success story involved Novares, a prominent manufacturer of plastic parts for the automotive industry. Gimatic Romania designed a specialized cutting station to meet their specific requirements.

Here's what makes this solution stand out:

• Precise Machined Supports:? Accurately machined supports ensure parts are correctly positioned and remain within dimensional tolerances throughout the cutting process.
• Soft Touch, Non-Marking Surfaces:? Specially designed surfaces prevent any scratches or marks on the delicate plastic parts during handling.
• Part Detection and Monitoring:? Advanced sensors precisely detect parts and monitor the entire system operation, ensuring smooth and reliable functionality.?
• Safety Barriers:? Safety barriers prioritize operator well-being by creating a designated work zone and preventing accidental contact with moving parts.

?A Commitment to Quality

Gimatic Romania's success goes beyond simply cutting sprues. A focus on precision engineering, selection of innovative materials and robust safety measures ensures a complete solution that delivers consistent quality and protects both parts and operators.

This dedication to excellence has positioned Gimatic Romania as a trusted partner for its territory, ensuring a seamless transition from injection molding to finished parts.
