MATSIM – Direct drives for IML technology / Manufacturer
Feel the magnetic attraction - Maglev among robots for IML technology
Our customers have no doubts: Choosing our solutions for IML technology was – and still is – the best decision.
This sets us apart – modular designs
Modular constructionin the modular offering
Modularity is the key advantage of our solutions for post-processing in injection molding. It represents a unique approach. Each of our compact devices can be freely combined with an injection molding machine and other devices. You disconnect, connect, all without the need for specialized knowledge or credentials.
✓ Complete side-entry robots with dedicated IML applications; optionally Cartesian robots
✓ Frame and traverse beam for side-entry robot – if you wish to manufacture the tooling in-house
✓ IML magazines tailored for our robots or Cartesian robots (or both solutions simultaneously)
✓ Stackers:
• With vision control
• Performing assembling tasks (e.g., attaching handles to buckets)
• Facilitating the assembly processes of articles
• Compatible with our robots or third-party robots
✓ Integration of quality control vision systems
✓ Integration of industrial robots for collaboration with injection molding machines or post-processing
✓ Reliable Dummy Cores by Matsim for IML technology
In our solutions, we utilize the following modules:
✓ Load-bearing frame
✓ Traverse beam
✓ IML label magazine
✓ Stacker
✓ Parallel gripper
and optionally
✓ Vision control system
All modules, except for the load-bearing frame, can be disconnected, unscrewed, and set aside, allowing the attachment of another module. The ability to exchange individual modules provides unprecedented flexibility, not available in other lateral robot design solutions. Substituting and rearming individual modules is exceptionally straightforward and does not require specialized knowledge or Matsim service assistance.
Thanks to the use of a set of dedicated positioners, preparing a reconfigured station for operation is quick—comparable to stations based on Cartesian robots. It requires the same qualifications.
We have over 20 years of experience in the field of injection molding technology, particularly in plastic processing. Our presence in the market dates back to the early days of IML technology in Poland, and since then, we have continuously developed our expertise.
Our knowledge is up-to-date and regularly refreshed; we stay informed about the latest trends in tool design, solutions for modern injection molding machines, changes in legal regulations, as well as production technologies of IML films and printing methods. We have tested and applied various types of films, including barrier films, laminates, and compostable films.
Our support goes beyond the typical IML application. We provide assistance in selecting the right equipment, evaluating tool and injection mold projects, as well as designing and setting optimal parameters for production processes.
Matsim – Innovations in IML Technology
Efficiency and Stabilitythrough Direct Drives
Our research and development activities are based on the use of direct drives, eliminating the need for many mechanical drive elements. This approach reduces the complexity of the mechanism and increases system reliability. We avoid energy losses associated with overcoming motion resistance in traditional drive elements such as gears, drive belts, or ball screws.
Our solutions are characterized by exceptional dynamics and fluidity of motion, significantly shortening production cycles compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, by eliminating vibrations resulting from the use of conventional drive elements, we achieve increased stability and process reproducibility, ultimately reducing the amount of production waste.
