Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Take-out Robots for Injection Molding Machines: Dedicated robots for removing molded products from molds, essential equipment for plastic molding automation. A diverse product lineup including KX Series, JX Series, VK Series, and EG Series models. Full-axis servo drive technology enabling energy savings and high-speed, precise control. Features like 'Servo Sleep function' and 'Backlight Auto OFF function' contribute to approximately 25% reduction in power consumption. High durability and reliability are ensured through the use of Japanese brand components such as LM guides, motors, and reducers. A broad range of products, from compact to ultra-large injection molding machines, to meet various industrial demands. Ultra-large take-out robots like the GXW-2500VIP/IXW-2500VIP are applicable to injection molding machines of 1600 tons or more, featuring a maximum loading capacity of 60kg and a vertical stroke of 2000-3500mm. Rigidity and weight reduction are simultaneously achieved through 3D CAD analysis and design verification technology. Anti-vibration control technology minimizes arm tip blurring, supporting insert molding and precision molding.Take-outRobotsforInjectionMoldingMachines:Dedicatedrobotsforremovingmoldedproductsfrommolds,essentialequipmentforplasticmoldingautomation.AdiverseproductlineupincludingKXSeries,JXSeries,VKSeries,andEGSeriesmodels.Full-axisservodrivetechnologyenablingenergysavingsandhigh-speed,precisecontrol.Featureslike'ServoSleepfunction'and'BacklightAutoOFFfunction'contributetoapproximately25%reductioninpowerconsumption.HighdurabilityandreliabilityareensuredthroughtheuseofJapanesebrandcomponentssuchasLMguides,motors,andreducers.Abroadrangeofproducts,fromcompacttoultra-largeinjectionmoldingmachines,tomeetvariousindustrialdemands.Ultra-largetake-outrobotsliketheGXW-2500VIP/IXW-2500VIPareapplicabletoinjectionmoldingmachinesof1600tonsormore,featuringamaximumloadingcapacityof60kgandaverticalstrokeof2000-3500mm.Rigidityandweightreductionaresimultaneouslyachievedthrough3DCADanalysisanddesignverificationtechnology.Anti-vibrationcontroltechnologyminimizesarmtipblurring,supportinginsertmoldingandprecisionmolding.
