There are few complete technical sources of information available for plastic injection moulders to use relating to automation. However, there have been articles written on various components of the technology. This review has been compiled by researching and analysing technical references. The overview is not an attempt to describe robot design theory and engineering, which can be found in engineering publications, but is intended to describe the basics of the technology and to explain how to put the technology to use. The review is supplemented by an indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database, providing useful references for further reading.
