Canon Shuttle Mold System – Featuring the newest version of the Canon Shuttle Mold system. The Shuttle Mold System runs two molds on a single molding machine. After resin is injected into the first mold, it shuttles the second mold into position, capitalizing on the cooling time outside of the machine and increasing efficiency. By maximizing the molding machine’s downtime during cooling, there are numerous potential cost-saving solutions that may be achieved, including a molder with limited floor space or a molder with an over-molded part. Though there are many applications of the Shuttle Mold, parts and materials with a cooling time of 30 seconds or greater are ideal for this new system.

Vision Edition – Recently, there has been a growing need for automation in the manufacturing industry because of labor shortages and cost. To help address these needs, Canon is promoting visualization of production sites using imaging such as network cameras, industrial cameras and the image processing software “Vision Edition”, under the Canon Industrial Imaging Platform*. Canon released Vision Edition–U image processing software in the Fall of 2019 to support automation on production floors. Vision Edition-U works with the collaborative robots of Universal Robots. Canon is the first Japanese company to obtain UR’s certified product platform, UR+, an image processing software specially designed for robots made by UR. In combination with a Canon network camera, for example, and linked with a collaborative robot manufactured by UR, this software will serve as the robot’s ‘eyes’, and take pictures and process images of the area close to the robot to the periphery of the workplace, depending on the intended use. For example, when picking and placing parts with the robot, the software should detect and help prevent omissions in the work with image processing. When placing parts on an electronic scale with a robot, the software also helps recognize the digitally displayed weight with image processing, and checks whether it meets the required standard, thus adding value to collaborative robot work.
