MARKROBOTIC Top Entry Robot

One Robot. Multiple Applications. Automation Solutions Designed for the Plastics Industry.

Advanced Engineering for In-Mold Labeling (IML) and Take-Out Applications — From 200-Ton to Over 600-Ton Injection Molding Machines.

In today’s plastics industry, automation is no longer simply an option for improving production. It has become an essential factor in enhancing efficiency, maintaining product quality, and meeting the demands of increasingly competitive markets.

With this vision in mind, MARKROBOTIC presents its Top Entry Robot, an industrial robotic solution designed for plastic injection molding machines with clamping forces ranging from 200 tons to over 600 tons. The system can be configured for both In-Mold Labeling (IML) and Take-Out applications.

Combining application flexibility with engineering designed around industrial production requirements, the MARKROBOTIC Top Entry Robot provides plastics manufacturers with additional options for automating their processes and improving production line performance.

Top Entry Technology: Access from Above, Control Within the Production Process

The Top Entry Robot enters the mold area from above, depending on the system design and injection molding machine configuration, enabling robotic operations to be integrated into the production cell.

The MARKROBOTIC robot is designed to accommodate a wide range of plastic injection molding applications, taking into account differences in machine sizes, mold requirements, and product characteristics.

Whether the application involves placing labels inside the mold before injection or removing finished products after molding, the system provides an engineering platform for developing automation solutions tailored to specific industrial requirements.

Two Core Applications in One Robotic Platform

1. IML Robot — Integrating Labels into the Mold

In-Mold Labeling (IML) is an important technology in the production of plastic containers and other plastic products. In this process, a label is placed inside the mold before the plastic is injected, becoming an integral part of the finished product during molding.

In this application, the robot picks up the label and places it in the designated position inside the mold, coordinating its movements with the injection molding machine cycle and the requirements of the overall system.

IML technology is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Food containers and lids.
• Plastic tubs and containers.
• Thin-wall packaging products.
• Packaging and other plastic products requiring high-quality graphics and an integrated appearance.

By automating label placement, the system can help improve process consistency, reduce manual intervention, and support better integration of production steps, depending on the system design and operating conditions.

2. Take-Out Robot — Efficient Product Removal

In Take-Out applications, the robot removes molded plastic parts from the mold after the injection process is complete, following a programmed motion sequence coordinated with the injection molding machine.

Automating this process helps organize post-molding product handling, reduce the need for manual removal, and support production cycle continuity.

The gripper and robotic movements can be configured according to the product’s shape and weight, mold characteristics, and production line requirements.

This application offers an important option for manufacturers looking to improve product removal operations and enhance integration between the injection molding machine and downstream equipment.

Designed for Injection Molding Machines from 200 Tons to Over 600 Tons

One of the key characteristics of the MARKROBOTIC Top Entry Robot is its intended application across plastic injection molding machines with clamping forces starting at 200 tons and extending to over 1200 tons, addressing a range of industrial production requirements.

This range allows manufacturers to explore robotic solutions suited to their machine capacities and product requirements, whether for IML or Take-Out applications.

The final system configuration is determined by several factors, including injection molding machine specifications, mold dimensions, installation space, product weight, cycle-time requirements, and the nature of the application.

Therefore, selecting the right robot involves more than considering the machine’s clamping force alone. A comprehensive engineering assessment is required to ensure compatibility with actual operating conditions.

Moving Towards More Flexible and Efficient Automation

Whether you are looking to automate in-mold label placement or improve product removal from your injection molding machine, selecting the right robotic system begins with a clear understanding of your production requirements and sound engineering design.

With the MARKROBOTIC Top Entry Robot, manufacturers can explore automation solutions that combine multiple applications, engineering flexibility, and integration with plastic injection molding machines.
