Abstract: A transfer molding system includes a plurality of resin receptacles selectively movable by a resin support into registration with a first actuator for dispensing resin material through a transfer manifold and into a component core. Two or more component cores are supported on a core support for selective movement to a position for receiving resin material dispensed through the manifold. The resin receptacles and manifold may be controllably heated to melt the resin material and maintain temperatures to facilitate resin transfer into the component cores.

Abstract: A system and method installs grommets into vehicle grommet holes using vision a six axis robot with a grommet tool and a vision system. The robot arm moves to the general area of a grommet hole and then the vision system determines the exact hole location. Thereafter, the robot moves the grommet tool to the hole to install the grommet. Installation is then confirmed by the vision system.
