There are many different types of injection molding robot in the entire injection molding market, which are suitable for various types of injection molding machines with different clamping forces. In most cases, using all of these models in your injection molding process is impossible. Therefore, we need to choose a cost-effective injection molding robot, which will involve many factors including its performance, accuracy, etc. We will share it with you in detail in this guide.

Evaluating the accuracy of injection molding robot

When choosing a cost-effective injection molding robot, it’s not just its purchase price that’s important to consider; its functionality is also an important factor we consider. The accuracy of injection molding robots is crucial for accurately positioning and grabbing parts in injection molding machines. Topstar’s injection molding robots have vibration suppression functions that are very suitable for injection molding machines that require high-precision grasping. They use rack and pinion meshing transmission at the front and rear to achieve higher positioning accuracy. Our technology can realize that one servo driver can directly control 5 servo motors, making the removal control more precise. Only three CPU chips are used to achieve a five-axis-in-one design. Achieve high accuracy while saving costs.

Evaluating the speed of injection molding robot

Having a higher speed and high precision can directly improve injection molding productivity, efficiency, and profitability. For Topstar’s cost-effective injection molding robot, the lightweight and high-strength A6061 robotic arm is used as a whole, which directly reduces 20 structural parts and 20% of the weight, which can improve the overall performance and speed, increase the speed by 10%, and accelerate Time is reduced to 20%, minimizing idle time between movements and optimizing cycle times.

Evaluate overall performance

For a cost-effective injection molding robot, its overall performance is one of the factors we need to consider. Topstar’s injection robot has a self-developed control system that can be developed and customized according to customer needs. It also has built-in dual systems so you can choose freely. They all come standard with an RS485 communication interface and 4-suction and 4-hold functions, with 11 inputs and 11 outputs reserved. Support MODBUSRTU communication protocol. Using large-bore cylinders gives them greater thrust and a 20% increase in load, making them suitable for handling larger parts.

Evaluate energy savings

Whether the injection robot is energy-saving can affect the overall production cost, because the injection molding process inherently requires a large amount of energy consumption, a large part of which is used for machine operation and auxiliary equipment. Integrating a more energy-efficient injection robot into your production facility can significantly reduce energy usage and operating costs. In the Topstar injection robot, common DC bus technology is used to add an automatic servo OFF function, which can save 10% of electricity consumption.

Integrated control

Integrated control refers to the seamless coordination and synchronization of various robot functions, injection molding machine operations, and auxiliary equipment within a unified control system. Through the open architecture of the underlying control system, Topstar enables peripheral auxiliary equipment and injection molding machines to have a native language for system integration, making equipment interconnection an extension of the system, not just a communication connection. This streamlines production processes and minimizes downtime associated with setup and reconfiguration, resulting in a higher cost performance.

Make a selection based on multiple assessments

A cost-effective injection molding robot must evaluate its performance, accuracy, speed, energy-saving effect, integrated control, and other factors. Topstar’s injection molding robots can definitely meet these factors. At the same time, they are more economical in price and more suitable for most manufacturing industries.
