U.S. molding equipment automation trends

Recently, American molders have developed various kinds of automatic equipment to deal with competition from China, India and other labor-reduced countries. They especially pay attention to the development of special machinery and automatic molding systems for the production of special moldings.

There are injection molding machine manufacturers pointed out that the automation of the plastics industry is an inevitable trend, and people in the industry have now truly made development automation an important method of cutting costs. In addition, injection molding machine manufacturers have realized that in the fierce competition in the world market, we must produce machinery that meets the market, improve mold quality, and improve automated production. Only equipment with higher added value can win the market.

Larry Scarbrough, vice president of Avalon Vision Solutions in Lithia Springs, Georgia, USA, said that the need for part records is also a reason for companies to use automatic equipment and video systems to check product quality. The video system can be reversed to the molding machine and automatic equipment.
