This application uses a TM5 with a built-in vision camera to accurately detect molded parts in a vertical injection molding environment, compensate for positional variation, and perform precision insert operations. Even with misalignment between the turntable and the injection molding machine, the vision camera corrects the position, enabling automated insert work.
