Reducing cycle time is key to achieving higher production and reducing operating costs for manufacturers. When faced with large-volume production tasks, some traditional injection molding robots cannot achieve fast grasping work, and there will be situations such as empty grasping and stopping, which cannot achieve a shortened cycle time. Topstar has developed the EU series injection molding robots to shorten the injection molding cycle time.

High speed of EU series injection molding robot

The EU series injection molding robot uses a lightweight aluminum alloy arm while reducing 20 structural components and weight by 20%. Both are critical to shortening cycle time. In addition, one servo drive on the EU series can directly control 5 servo motors, making the removal control more precise. This drive method allows precise control of all aspects of the grasping process, ensuring rapid and efficient completion of each cycle stage without compromising the final product’s quality. Unlike traditional injection molding robots, the drive only uses 3 CPU chips, realizing a five-axis-in-one design. Each CPU chip controls two axes, and the maximum power of each axis is 750W. This provides powerful power for the robot. This means that each molding process step can be performed with minimal delay, thus reducing overall cycle time.

Factors affecting cycle time also lie in the gripping accuracy of the injection molding robot. Traditional injection molding equipment management is to achieve cross-system interconnection through network protocols, which have factors such as signal delay, poor compatibility, and low stability. Topstar is an open architecture through the underlying control system, which enables injection molding peripheral auxiliary machines and injection molding machines to have a native language of system integration, making equipment interconnection an extension of the system rather than just a communication connection. In this way, the EU series injection molding robot can support the host in calling signals and achieving integrated operation. The control system automatically optimizes removal to improve the production line’s injection molding efficiency. We have solved problems such as ejection failure and equipment alarm shutdown caused by ejection position deviation and uncoordinated suction time, improving grasping accuracy and shortening the cycle time.

Energy efficiency and cycle time

Energy efficiency is another key factor affecting the injection molding cycle. While realizing the five-axis-in-one design, the multi-axis common bus design scheme has improved energy efficiency by 20% and reduced electricity costs by 10%. In addition, the servo automatic OFF function has been added to stop the motor from being energized when it is on standby, saving 10% of electricity. This allows them to use energy more efficiently, reducing overall consumption and operating costs. In addition, the servo motor’s precision ensures that each cycle stage is completed quickly and accurately, reducing cycle time. Reduced energy consumption also means that the robot generates less heat, reducing the cooling time required for each part and reducing cycle time.

Efficient material handling

In addition to the characteristics of the EU series injection molding robot, material handling is another important factor affecting the injection molding cycle time. The efficiency of material preparation, transportation and feeding into the molding machine will directly affect the entire cycle time. In the solution of the entire injection molding equipment, we will be equipped with a precise material feeding system to ensure that the right amount of material is delivered to the injection unit at the right time, thereby reducing delays caused by material shortages or overfeeding, both of which will extend the cycle time.

In addition to material feeding, the EU series injection molding robot features an automated material transportation system that simplifies the movement of materials in the production environment, reducing the need for manual intervention. By automating material handling, manufacturers can ensure prompt delivery of materials to the injection molding machine, achieving a more efficient production cycle.

Flexibility and intelligence

When you choose the five-in-one servo EU series injection molding robot, it can be compatible with intelligent upgrades. At the same time, it makes production operations simpler and easy to operate, repair and debug. Networking with the injection molding equipment signal realizes independent injection molding unit automation, and combining series units creates an automated production line. To upgrade the workshop information further, you can access the Tuoxingmai MES system and IOT digital platform through the reserved expansion interface. The diversified terminal enables real-time monitoring and timely optimization of the automated removal process, realizing information management. It allows manufacturers to easily adjust parameters such as injection speed, pressure and temperature to meet the specific requirements of each product. The ability to quickly switch between different production settings reduces setup time and ensures production can proceed smoothly, thereby shortening cycle time.

Comprehensively improve the cycle time of injection molding

The EU series injection molding robot can optimize all aspects of gripping in injection molding. The high precision, speed, flexibility and intelligent all-round performance further improve its efficiency in shortening cycle time, allowing manufacturers to adapt to different production requirements and materials quickly.
