Laser Degating
High Quality Degating of Injection Molded Parts
Degating is the process of cutting plastic runners away from injection molded parts. Cencorp laser degating workstations are used for automating the degating process and achieving very high edge quality. Laser cutting provides maximum process control for the most demanding applications such as optical windows. The high cutting speed and the reliability of the cutting process makes laser cutting of runners with Cencorp degating workstations a highly economical process compared to any other conventional degating technique.
Compact and efficient
The slim design of the Cencorp 500 LC makes it easy to integrate into the injection molding cell, cutting the runners of plastic parts directly after they have been molded. The high cutting speed and efficient parts handling automation of the 500 LC makes it ideal for fully automated production of injection molded parts. Accurate fixturing technology enables high precision cuts with tight tolerances and high yields also in mass-production.
The Cencorp 500 LC-T provides flexible mass-production when it is integrated into a production cell where 2 robots are loading and unloading the 500 LC-T with pre-cut plastic parts. The fast change over time from a known product to another enables truly flexible mass-production, where parts made by several injection molding machines are degated with just one Cencorp 500 LC-T. Tight tolerances and high yields can be achieved even with parts molded in several different cavities due to the accurate fixturing technology used in the 500 LC-T.
Highlights:
High accuracy cutting results
Dust free process
High yields even for first class visual products
Fast change over time
