Injection molding robot (1)

Analysts expect the injection molding robot market to grow by $109.2 million between 2023 and 2028, with a CAGR of 4.36%. Driven by the increased productivity and efficiency brought about by intelligence and various advanced technologies, the functions of these robots are constantly expanding, providing different manufacturers with innovative solutions to meet the needs of modern industrial intelligent production. This blog post will tell you about the latest technological advances in injection molding robots from Topstar.

Automation and AI enhancement of injection molding robot

Under the influence of Industry 4.0, the latest technological advances in the entire injection molding robot market are nothing more than integrating automation and AI. These technologies enable robots to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. For example, modern injection molding robots can analyze data from the injection molding process to identify inefficiencies or potential problems. By leveraging machine learning, these robots can predict maintenance needs and dynamically adjust operations, ensuring consistent quality and reducing downtime. This level of automation enables manufacturers to scale up production while maintaining high standards quickly.

The system is more intelligent than the injection molding robot

Topstar uses a self-developed control system on the injection molding robot, which supports software upgrades and updates and supports the injection molding machine to call the robot signal to achieve integrated linkage and more precise control. In addition, a dual system is built in, which customers can freely select, and particular required actions can be programmed. The upgrade of core component technologies such as control systems and servo drives, hardware precision energy saving, software integrated communication, and a more comprehensive range of application scenarios have been achieved, moving from automation to intelligence and becoming a standard item for injection molding factories to upgrade future automation.

More flexible expansion

Topstar’s injection molding machine robot technology has come to the fifth generation. Our R&D team has launched the “five-in-one servo drive” technology, which directly enables one servo drive to control five servo motors and more precise removal control. This drive uses only 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 mighty power for the injection molding robot. At the same time, the multi-axis standard busbar design improves energy efficiency by 20%.

The fully self-developed five-in-one servo drive offers more robust algorithms, precision, energy efficiency, and smarter performance. Compared with the previous generation, it has functional solid scalability and can add back-end automation processes according to customer needs. It adopts advanced motion control technology (contour mode control) to ensure smooth and precise movement according to the predetermined contour when executing complex trajectories or paths.

Safer operation

To enhance the safety of the injection molding robot during operation, we adopt joint soft floating protection technology to improve its ability to withstand torque that exceeds the set limit. This effectively reduces the potential damage to the customer’s mold, injection molding machine ejector, and products and further improves production efficiency and equipment stability. At the same time, you can choose the “personnel protection configuration” according to your different needs to reduce the risk of accidental injury due to unintentional touching of the running manipulator.

In addition, we equip the injection molding robot with a visual system that detects obstacles and adjusts its movements accordingly. This capability reduces the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace. If the operator is too close, the safety sensor can stop the operation to ensure a safe working environment.

Improvements in sustainability and energy efficiency

Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on sustainability and advances in injection molding robot technology, which aim to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste. Modern robots are designed to consume less energy during operation, which helps reduce operating costs and environmental impact.

The energy-saving servo motors used in Topstar’s injection molding robots can precisely control movement while minimizing energy consumption. These motors can adjust their output according to the task, resulting in significant energy savings during low-demand periods. In addition, advances in material handling technology allow robots to optimize the use of raw materials and reduce waste during production.

Change your injection molding production.

Topstar’s injection molding robot technology allows customers to achieve process assurance from raw materials to finished products, providing customers with efficient and stable production and making injection molding easier! From enhanced automation and artificial intelligence integration to the birth and adoption of “five-in-one servo drive” technology, these innovations are helping all types of plastic machinery optimize operations and meet changing market needs.
