Insert Molding Process

The video here demonstrates an automated robotic process for a recent insert-molding project at Ferriot. Shown are both the picking and placement of the insert as well as the picking of the finished part. For this project, the insert was a metal hinge pin. It was molded with plastic to create a door for another piece of equipment. While viewing the video, notice the precision and consistency afforded by Ferriot’s automated robotic insert molding process.
