The waste material of the injection molded part 7 exits from the waste outlet groove 511. Discharge: Under the drive of the pusher assembly 61, the injection molded part 7 moves along the guide rail 62 to the bottom of the punch assembly 53. The punch assembly 53 presses down to punch the injection molded product 71 out of the injection molded part 7 and discharge it from the product outlet groove 512. A product collection box 55 is provided below the product outlet groove 512 to collect the injection molded product 71.

The positioning pins 73 at the four corners of the injection molded part 7 are inserted into the limiting holes 518 to achieve stable positioning of the injection molded part 7. After the product is punched, the lifting element 516 lifts the skeleton waste 72, and the subsequent injection molded part 7 pushes the skeleton waste 72 away and discharges it from the waste outlet groove 511 along the guide rail 62, completing the material discharge operation.

[0030] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the punch assembly 53 further includes an upper plate 531, a middle plate 532, a lower plate 533, a tool holder 534, and a punching blade 535. The punching blade 535 is fixed on the tool holder 534, which is embedded in the lower plate 533 and fixedly connected to the middle plate 532. A matrix of guide posts 57 is fixed on the base 51.

One end of the material box 24 is open, which allows the injection molded parts 7 to be fed into the vibratory feeder assembly 21 in batches. The vibratory feeder assembly 21 vibrates the injection molded parts 7, so that the side of the injection molded parts 7 with the sprue is facing upward. Under the precise guidance of the upper camera module 26, the three-axis translation module 22 drives the first suction assembly 23 to adsorb and fix the injection molded parts 7, and transfer the injection molded parts 7 to the transfer table 31. The eight injection molded parts 7 are arranged in an orderly manner on the transfer table 31. The multi-axis robot arm 4 drives the second suction assembly 41 on it to simultaneously adsorb and fix the eight injection molded parts 7 on the transfer table 31 and transfer them to the guide rail 62. Under the push of the pusher assembly 61, the injection molded parts 7 are sent to the guide rail 62. The material is fed onto the base 51, and the drive cylinder 54 drives the punch assembly 53 to descend and punch the injection molded product 71 out of the injection molded part 7. Then, the lifting element 516 lifts up the skeleton waste 72, and the subsequent injection molded part 7 pushes the skeleton waste 72 away and discharges it from the waste outlet groove 511 along the guide rail 62, completing the material discharge operation. The whole process does not require manual intervention and can be continuously and fully automatically processed. It can realize fully automatic loading and unloading operations, and can simultaneously perform cyclic punching processing on multiple products. The overall capacity is much higher than that of manual or semi-automatic equipment. It is suitable for large-scale deployment of production lines, adapts to batch high-speed punching and separation, significantly improves product punching efficiency, reduces off-center cutting, cracks, and burrs, improves the consistency of finished product appearance and precision, ensures the complete separation of injection molded product 71, and reduces the risk of residual material and scratches.
