German plastics industry robot utilization rate

Wiht the development of technology, automation has become a trend in this society, recently, a report entitled "Plastic Machinery Automation and Robotics 2013 Prospect" analysis report shows that: the German plastics industry robot utilization rate highest in the world, the number of 2 times as much as the United States. South Korea, Japan, the rising use of robots. Among them, South Korea last 3 years robots replace a significant proportion of workers.   In recent years, in order to improve production efficiency, the U.S. plastics industry, the increasing level of automation, robotics usage growth year after year. The report noted that in 2011 imports of robots in North America 17,887 units in 2012 to 20,328 units. In March this year, the North American plastics machinery industry of foreign imports 5,833 robots, worth $ 341 million (214 million pounds). This number rose slightly over last year, compared with the first quarter of 2005, the total rose by 10%.   Automation in the plastics processing has become a large processing factories for profit necessary thing. It is no longer confined to the production of high value-added components or specific small-scale molding applications. Level of automation can be as simple to remove the sprue runner collector, or advanced to the assembly or packaging plastic parts of a complete unit of work. Because a wide range of parts, the processing requirements vary, so most of the focus on automation of injection molding applications.   North American imports mainly from robot BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China), Southeast Asia and the Middle East emerging markets, including injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and thermoforming equipment.
