High-Precision Gate Removal with Zero Room for Error
Product Info
The Semi-Automated Degating Machine is a purpose-built solution designed to streamline and enhance the degating process for injection-molded components. Traditionally performed manually with scissors, which often results in inconsistent finishes, this machine introduces precision, repeatability, and simplicity to the process. It reduces gate protrusions to under 100 microns, meeting even the most stringent customer specifications.
Precision Meets Simplicity
At the heart of the machine is a custom jig designed and built in-house, with Poka-Yoke error-proofing principles. Cleverly placed protruding “islands” on the jig align perfectly with pre-existing holes in the customer’s workpiece, allowing insertion in only one orientation and one direction. This eliminates the risk of misalignment or incorrect cutting, ensuring only the correct gate area is milled every time.
An adjustable outline guide with micron-level precision further secures the part, preventing any unwanted rotation or shifting during the operation.
Unmatched Fabrication Tolerance
With a fabrication tolerance of ±30μm, this is our most precise machine to date. It combines pneumatic actuation with a high-accuracy guidance system, offering cost-efficiency without compromising performance.
User-Friendly Operation
-
Plug-and-play setup – Pre-calibrated to customer specifications.
-
Simple interface – Insert the part, press two buttons, and the cycle begins.
-
Auto-reset function – The machine returns to its ready state after each cycle, keeping the workflow smooth and fast.
-
Minimal training required – Operators can be up and running in minutes.
Easy Maintenance
Maintenance has been simplified with a single removable panel for full access to internal components. All critical alignments are factory-set, and an alignment pin is included for quick, precise recalibration if needed. This reduces alignment downtime by up to 70%, making servicing fast and hassle-free.
