What changes and impacts does the emergence of intelligence bring to injection molding machines?

2025/01/06 By Topstar

intelligence bring to injection molding machines

The entire industrial manufacturing field has moved from automation to intelligence. In injection molding equipment, intelligence is Topstar’s core competitiveness. The intelligent equipment we develop covers control systems, servo drives, vision, artificial intelligence, industry solutions, and underlying technologies. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent technology has redefined manufacturers’ production processes, quality assurance, and operational efficiency. It has enabled injection molding machines to develop into intelligent systems that quickly adapt to complex needs.

Intelligence has changed the operation of injection molding machines

Traditional injection molding production relies on a technical division of labor to maintain the advancement of each injection molding machine. However, because each customer’s demand scenario differs, favorable conditions can sometimes become unfavorable. These traditional injection molding machines are like independent individuals, and they need to be equipped separately before they can be connected in series to form an intelligent whole. This technology is scattered and complex and requires excellent use, management, and maintenance difficulty. It is easy to have coordination difficulties, which affects production. After studying various machine technologies, Topstar has integrated various intelligent technologies. The company develops control systems that enable injection molding machines, auxiliary machines, and automation to support communications while introducing smart integrated control and hardware concepts. This intelligence improves compatibility, control capabilities, production stability, operation convenience, and maintenance simplicity.

Solve production and management problems, improve production efficiency, and reduce costs

Through intelligent integrated control and process linkage, the injection molding machine reduces the operator’s workload of fine-tuning and monitoring the main and auxiliary equipment, lowers labor costs, and improves production efficiency. After using the injection molding machine with integrated control and process linkage, one operator can monitor and fine-tune multiple devices, reducing the labor input of various devices. After calculation, 18 injection molding machines require at least 25 workers according to the original staffing, but now only 11 workers are needed to complete all the work.

Synchronous linkage between injection molding machine and manipulator

Under intelligent integrated control, the injection molding machine also realizes the synchronous linkage of the manipulator and the mold opening process, shortening the molding cycle and improving production efficiency through early arrival and precision compensation functions. This precise coordination enables the manipulator to grasp the product faster and more accurately, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment or operation delays. This reduces abnormal alarms during the grasping process and reduces equipment maintenance requirements. These improvements optimize uptime and reduce long-term operating costs by minimizing mechanical wear.

At the same time, their open system architecture provides a flexible platform for future equipment upgrades and functional expansion. This adaptability enables manufacturers to integrate new technologies and processes as they become available, ensuring continued competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.

What competitive advantages does intelligence bring to Topstar?

Topstar focuses on customers’ production and operation results so that we will provide customers with overall injection molding solutions, not just single injection molding equipment. This comprehensive injection molding solution can meet customers’ production efficiency and management needs. The injection molding machine connects the software system, provides real-time communication feedback, and controls the entire injection molding process in one.

At the same time, the “injection and mold integration” design is realized in hardware, and the precise control of the molding temperature of plastic products is realized in function. These technological innovations will bring customers higher production efficiency and quality control levels. At the same time, in terms of quality management, we have achieved the integration of parts and product information by connecting supply chain, manufacturing, and product traceability management, ensuring the traceability and stability of product quality.

What impact will intelligence have on the entire injection molding industry?

Equipment intelligence is an area that the entire industry is working hard to expand, and it is also a trend in high-quality manufacturing. From the perspective of improving the production efficiency of enterprises, injection molding machines can significantly enhance the efficiency of injection molding production by optimizing the injection molding process and realizing linkage control between processes. Reducing manual operation and debugging time, automation, and precise control make the production process more stable and efficient, shortening the production cycle, increasing production capacity, and reducing production costs. The intelligent integrated control function of the injection molding machine releases the difficulty of operation, allowing more efficient personnel input and less manual debugging time, which means that enterprises can improve labor utilization.

Ultimately

The emergence of intelligence has brought revolutionary changes to injection molding machines, completely changing manufacturers’ production, quality control, and sustainability methods. From AI-driven optimization to enhanced energy efficiency and customization, these advances can bring more efficient and convenient production to manufacturing companies in all walks of life.
