Pneumatic Swing Type Sprue Pickers are essential automation tools in plastic injection molding, designed to swiftly and consistently remove sprues and molded parts from machines. HARMO America’s sprue pickers feature a newly designed rigid body and dual shock-absorbing system, enhancing efficiency and reliability in manufacturing processes.
HARMO’s sprue pickers incorporate a compact controller unit built into the main body, ensuring insulation from environmental influences. The “single-action” ratchet mechanism facilitates quick mold changeovers, while ball bushings on the side pipe slide enhance durability and reduce vibration. Additionally, the dual cushioning system (DUS) minimizes stress on components, extending the equipment’s lifespan.
Selecting HARMO’s pneumatic sprue pickers offers manufacturers improved cycle times, reduced manual labor, and enhanced product quality. The robust design and advanced features ensure consistent performance, leading to increased productivity and operational efficiency in injection molding applications.
