Below are some video clips showing a robot system using a Kuka robot to tend a Plastics Injection Molding Machine. The entire cell was assembled by Centennial Technologies in Saginaw MI. Robot programming by BTO Controls. Video #1 shows the robot tending the IMM to extract the molded plastic part after completed. Video #2 shows the concept of loading parts into an IMM machine to get plastic molded around the parts. These parts are automatically seperated and presented by a bowl feeder then loaded onto an SMC slide.

ABB ROBOTICS PROGRAMMING
Here is a ABB Robotics system built and assembled by Centennial Technologies, BTO Controls assisting with programming and system integration. This Robot on a 7th Axis slide tends an Injection Molding Machine, removing the finished parts from the IMM and presenting the parts to other robots for degate.

MITSUBISHI ROBOTICS PROGRAMMING
Here is a Mitsubishi Robotics system built and assembled by Centennial Technologies, BTO Controls assisting with programming and system integration. This highly advanced cell utilized a flex feeder and a Cognex camera system to feed forward and present parts for a Scara Robot to pick. The parts are then placed on a rotating table. From there a 6 axis robot picks the group of parts off of the table and loads the Injection Molding Machine. The Flex Feeder and Cognex camera concept eliminates the need for a bowl feeder and makes for running multiple parts on the same system with minimal changeover possible.
