IML Modular Systems

To address the actual demand changes within a production molding operation, the IML automation needs a new methodology – Flexible, Modular, Universal.

Traditional IML automation is designed to meet the needs of a specific plastic part and its decorating requirements. Dedication of the system to a particular molding project has been standard practice in the industry, in part due to the high levels of engineering and complexity of IML systems.

The new methodology of Flexible, Modular, Universal addresses the challenge facing operations in meeting ROI requirements by fundamentally changing from customized / purpose-built systems into systems that can simply be applied across multiple product lines and different manufacturing cells.

 

StackTeck IML systems are engineered to employ standardized frames with modular components to suit different applications. Systems no longer need to be dedicated to a particular application but are flexible to suit whatever market demand comes along. For example, standard IML frames can be moved across different molding machine models and tonnages, say from 300 ton to 600 ton. By changing only modules, IML systems convert easily from, for example, a 1×4 ice cream container to a 2×12 yogurt cup or 1×16 over cap lid. Flexibility is key, so when market demands change, the systems can easily be adapted with the changes, resulting in lower capital expenditures and faster lead times.

IML Testimonials

Impressive IML Moulds. Very Positive Experience.
Asia-Pacific region

"Very impressed with StackTeck's IML moulds. The whole experience was easy and very professional." Continue Reading

Operations Manager
Leading Injection Molder
Large Program of IML Molds & Robots

We knew about the quality of StackTeck molds and therefore we expected that their robots would
match the quality requirements we had. We always look for molds and robots to be made with
StackTeck. We knew that if StackTeck took care of both, we would be in good hands. Continue Reading
