Delta recently participated in the 32nd International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries (CHINAPLAS) in Shanghai, China from 24th to 27th April. During the event, Delta highlighted a variety of industrial automation (IA) products and smart solutions for the plastics and rubber industries, such as the Delta Articulated Robot DRV90L Series and the integrated solution for Stretch Blow Molding Machine, drawing many visitors' attention.

CHINAPLAS is the leading fair for the plastics and rubber industries in Asia. Participating exhibitors range from machinery and equipment manufacturers to raw materials and related industrial businesses, showing products such as extruders and extrusion lines, injection molding machines, equipment for preprocessing, molding machines and integrated automation equipment. The 3-day event creates countless business opportunities through lively interaction between 4,000 exhibitors and 180,000 visitors from over 40 countries around the world.

At the fair, Delta presented a variety of IA products and solutions for the plastics and rubber industries. Highlights included:

• Delta Articulated Robot DRV90L Series: Delta displayed the Delta Articulated Robot DRV90L in response to the demand of the plastics and rubber industries. The 6-axis articulated robot with robot controller DCV series enables the quick integration of industrial automation components and precise robot control. The excellent performance in speed repeatability, linearity, and perpendicularity with the built-in Delta Machine Vision system can replace the labor-intensive inspection process. Delta's DRV series articulated robots are ideal for bulk component insertion processes in the plastics and rubber industries.

• Stretch Blow Molding Machine solution: Delta integrated its smart IA products and presented a solution for stretch and blow molding machines. With the Multi-axis Motion Controller DVP-MC Series as master control, and the Compact Drive MS300 Series and AC Servo Drive & Motor ASDA-A2 Series, this solution can control the automation process from preform feeding to the completion of stretch blow molding. The Delta Advanced Ethernet Human Machine Interface DOP-100 Series provides real-time data display, allowing users to easily monitor device operation status. Besides guaranteeing quality, Delta's stretch blow molding machine solution saves 25% of the molding cycle time.

Serving a huge market and providing an enormous variety of products, the plastics and rubber industries play an important role in the development of China's economy. To meet the diverse requirements and rapid changes of China's plastics and rubber industries, Delta presented outstanding industrial automation products and smart solutions at CHINAPLAS 2018, as it continues to establish its brand and “Automation for a Changing World.”
