Automation for cable tie manufacturing

– Traditional Robots and Fully Automatic Packaging Systems

1. Introduction

Automation after injection molding is crucial in cable tie production. We offer two main automation solutions:

  • Traditional unload robots
  • Fully automatic packaging systems

Note: For the front-end (before injection), auto-loaders or centralized material feeding systems can be used to achieve automation.

2. Traditional Unload Robots

The robot removes cable ties from the mold and places them on a conveyor belt.

Workers then separate the runners from the ties manually and place them into polybags, which are processed through an automatic packaging machine for vacuuming, water injection, and sealing.

2.1 Top Unload Robot

  • Description: Picks up cable ties from the top of the mold and places them on a conveyor.

 

  • Advantages: Ideal for workshops with sufficient height, simple structure, easy to maintain, and widely applicable.

2.2 Side Unload Robot

  • Description: Picks up cable ties from the side of the mold.
  • Advantages: Not limited by ceiling height, faster motion, well-suited for high-speed production lines.

One-Station Solution: Vacuum, Water Injection, and Polybag Sealing

In the injection molding process, nylon material is heated to around 260°C, which completely removes its internal moisture. After molding, nylon cable ties need to reabsorb moisture to regain their original mechanical properties and flexibility.

This specialized packaging machine is designed specifically for that post-molding step.

It integrates vacuuming, water injection, and polybag sealing into one compact station.

The process is simple and efficient: one operator can complete the packaging, and the bags are ready for immediate transport.

During shipping or storage, the nylon gradually reabsorbs moisture and restores its optimal characteristics.

Fast, convenient, and labor-saving — this all-in-one solution is ideal for efficient and consistent cable tie packaging.

3. Fully Automatic Packaging Systems

3.1 System Structure

Consists of a unload robot (top or side ), which unload the cable tie from the mold, then place on the plate of the machine.

Automatic packaging machine, which performs:

✓ Cutting   ✓ Counting   ✓ Water injection

✓ Vacuum sealing ✓Polybag sealing

All processes are integrated into one complete automated workflow.

3.2 Application Scenarios

  • Ideal for large order volumes and stable production cycles.
  • Especially suitable when combined with hot runner molds and high-speed injection molding machines to enable full automation.

3.3 Key Benefits

  • Reduce labor costs
  • Increase production stability and consistency
  • Improve overall packaging efficiency

4. Integration with Our Machines

All our injection molding machines—especially those designed for cable tie production—can be seamlessly integrated with these automation systems without any additional modifications.

5. FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are there size limitations for cable ties in the fully automatic packaging system?

A: Yes, the system currently supports cable ties up to 400mm in length. For more length, please contact us.

Q2: Which tonnages are compatible with traditional unload robots?

A: Different tonnages come with matching robot arms; all have mature configurations.

Q3: Is maintenance for the automation system complex?

A: Slightly more complex than traditional unload robots.

However, once front-end production is stable, the benefits of automation become significantly clear.
