New IML system draws praises

The outstanding technique of "MAX-automatic in-mould labeling system" produced by Ningbo Well - Lih Robots Technology Co., Ltd. had been praised by the panel of judges of the Ringier Innovation Awards for the Plastics Industry, an annual event sponsored by Ringier Trade Media Ltd. "The MAX-automatic in-mould labeling system has attracted many peers' attention since it was displayed at CHINAPLAS 2009 and 2010," according to Mr. Qiu Hongli, General Manager of Ningbo Well - Lih Robots Technology Co., Ltd. Well - Lih has always placed emphasis on R&D to innovate in this area and to date, it has completed independent intellectual property rights and established brandnames for its products. Its "Well - Lih robot" has been a popular product domestically and around the world. In the future, the company will not only provide specialised robot for injection moulding machine, but also systematic automation integration for the entire injection moulding process. Excellent product features "International mainstream in-mould labeling system is characterised by high-speed and stability, our MAX-automatic inmould labeling system is a leading technology and most useful innovation system," said Mr. Qiu. Well - Lih developed the second generation of fully automated in-mould labeling system by learning the international brands' advantages, and combining the highest technology in today's linear drive technology (commonly known as: magnetic levitation). In addition to high-speed and stability, the system has wider scope of applications to better meet the demands of customers. The label delivery system adopts the most advanced double stations tilted delivery system and locks the label height automatically to secure and save time; the special label warehouse design is convenient for selecting different shapes labeling products so that the customers no longer need to update device for upto- date products. It adopts the world's leading static positioning system, the robot arm's fixture gets the label and sends it to cavity so that it can firmly adsorbed on the mould cavity and will not drop, thus ensuring high yields. The linear motor axis acceleration can be achieved 5G in theory to meet today's domestic highspeed moulding equipment requirements; the system interfaces comply with EU regulations and adopts the most advanced control technology SIGMATEK and user-friendly interface. All of above ensures the entire system stability and practicality. Applications Currently, the packaging containers that adopted in-mould labeling are mainly used in the areas of industrial liquid (paint, lubricate, gear oil, antifreeze, etc.), daily chemical products (body wash, detergent, personal care products), food (soy sauce, ice cream, coffee, cheese, yogurt, etc.) and the pharmaceutical industries. The food industry is the most widely used area of injection moulding labeling. Solving production problems In-mould labeling can solve such problems as it shortens cycle times and improves quality and production efficiency. It removes the secondary process (no manual labeling step) and reduces production costs and improves production efficiency. IML products have exquisite graphics, rich layers, and strong three-dimensional sense and will not scratch, and are beautiful and brighter than screen printed products; the labels and containers are on the same surface so a smooth feel is achieved. IML products are more practical and with low wastage. IML labels and plastic products belong to the same type of plastic resin, so that the printing labels and plastic products can be melted together after injection moulded in high temperature. The label will not damage, scratch, and has functions like compression-resistant, waterproof, anti-oil, anti-mildew, antifriction, acid and alkali resistant, heatproof and can be cooled down. This greatly reduces the defect rate causNike Mens Shoes
