Unloading of an injection molding machine
At Dynamit Nobel, linear units are increasingly being replaced by jointed-arm robots. This was also the case when the time came to automate the handling of bumpers and welding parts for the DaimlerChrysler S-class: only this kind of robot could guarantee that the bumper surfaces would remain damage-free. If any scratches were made, a smooth paint finish would no longer be possible.
