Vacuum Formed Robot and Automation Shells
Robot and automation equipment covers need to clear moving parts, sensors and service access while fitting a real chassis. We review those interfaces alongside forming draw, trim supports and the selected surface finish.
How do we ensure that the parts of the whole piece will not be mixed up?
Simply put, vacuum forming is a process of softening a flat sheet by heating it and then passing it through a mold to achieve the desired shape. This will inevitably lead to a certain degree of stretching, which is usually not completely controllable. For robot/equipment housings, assembly is necessary. To achieve a perfect match between two adjacent parts, post-processing polishing and painting are required. Since the stretching of all parts is slightly different, at ditaiplastic, we will assemble a set of product housings first, then polish and paint them. At this time, the product can meet the requirements of flatness and beauty in appearance. All components of a single set of products will be marked with the same number on the assembly surface. Whether it is a product that needs us to assemble and package it directly for shipment or a product that needs to be packaged and shipped as a single component and then assembled by ourselves later, we can guarantee that the products that have been transported and arrived, through these numbers, each adjacent component of each set of products is perfectly matched.
Applications of Vacuum Formed Plastic Components in Automatic
Commercial Sweeping Robot
This is one of the products of our long-term customers – commercial sweeping robot, in addition to the shell impact resistance and corrosion resistance is also equipped with four sets of brushes, which can achieve a large area of cleaning, effective in saving labor costs. Since it is a long-term cooperation (will be a fixed order), he provided us with a set of prototypes, which is convenient for our quality inspection and assembly and can make timely adjustments to the loss of molds and fixtures after mass production to improve the accuracy of the assembly.
Dedicated Robot
The pictured temperature-screening robot is an equipment-housing example. Its electronics and sensing functions belong to the complete device; our plastic-part review concerns the fit, access, openings, finish and assembly of the cover.
Navigation Robot
This is the navigation robot at the Expo, equipped with an intelligent touchscreen electronic display and navigation system to lead guests to the fit booth. Our customer sent the internal hardware and intelligent system of the robot, and each set of the robots was individually packaged and sent out after vacuum forming, silk-screening, and after-treatment, like assembly, srewdriving, assembly, etc. If you have any assembly or packaging requirements, we are confident and capable of fulfilling them all!
