Many tasks which previously were the sole preserve of linear feed systems can now also be carried out by flexible KUKA shelf-mounted robots. For example, the robot can be integrated into an injection-molding machine, a die-casting machine or a machine tool.

Stäubli’s Plastics range of robots is the first line of 6 axis robots designed specifically for use in the plastics industry. They have been developed following detailed consultation and evaluation by both injection molding companies and system integrators.
Flexibility
Simply re-program the robot when the mold changes
Utilise the capacity of the machine fully by grouping various moulds together
Easy integration of the Plastics robots (can be easily moved to another Injection Molding Machine - IMM)
New molds or process additions can be easily accommodated by the plastics range
Speed
Stäubli plastics robots are the fastest 6-axis robots on the market in terms of speed and acceleration (i.e. 0,8 second demould time inside a 4 second cycle)
Cleanliness
Class 100 comes as standard
Fulfilling the requirements of the plastics industry
Plastics robots are available ready to use with pre-wired Euromap (Europe) / SPI (USA) hardware and safety interlock, along with industry dedicated interface

Tecnomatic' s Cartesian Numerican Control (CNC) robots represent the best that modern technology can offer for automating plastics injection moulding processes and are the product of the company' s 15 years of experience in this field. The Free Guided Programming (FGP) capability that all Tecnomatic robots have make it possible to realise extremely flexible work cycle with no limitation in the program complexity or lenght. This is accompained by the care we take in making sure programming is as simple as possible and well within the reach of all operatives working on the injection line. This series of robots is realized with load bearing structures in high rigidity steel and has vertical axes in .high strenght light alloy that permits very high speeds and great structural rigidity. Only the best available components are used in their construction, manufactured by leading companies in their respective fields.

ARBURG offers its customers machines and robotic systems from a single source. The machine is programmed and controlled via the central SELOGICA control system. A high degree of convenience is guaranteed here both by virtue of the operating principle with schematic sequence programming and the option of saving the respective MULTILIFTs integrated data record together with that of the mould.
The MULTILIFT H grips into the mould horizontally from the rear of the machine, leaving the space above the clamping unit free. Another major advantage is the reduction in the number of axes, resulting in shorter and quicker strokes, whereby short cycle times can be achieved.
The MULTILIFT V is arranged above the machine and removes the moulded parts vertically from the mould. Three servo-electric axes are also able to perform complex set-down tasks quickly and precisely. Its field of application mainly lies in the area of highly-complex insertion, removal and set-down tasks. It is just as easy to fill containers that have a high packaging density as it is to stack moulded parts or to insert intermediate layers.
The entry model MULTILIFT V SELECT is a low-cost, servo-electric robotic system with predefined features, which covers a lot of standard robotic system tasks.

The progenitor range of the D nozzles has been completely renovated to meet the continual demands of the customers, who need more flexibilityand easier application in mould hot runner systems.
The nozzle tip assembly, which was integrated into the old nozzle body, is now screwed into the core.
Besides facilitating maintenance operationson the open moulding machine, there is also an economic saving on spare parts.
The first types of D nozzles available with the screwed tip are types1, 1B and 3B.
All the tip types are constructed with a special sintered steel, which has an optimal thermal conduction, and makes them much more resistant and not subject to wear, therefore they are suitable for the injection of all types of thermoplastic materials.
Also, the diameter of the channel inside the nozzle core has been increased, to improve the flow rate and for easier injection of large size parts. For easier application in moulds with many cavities it has been decided to increase the thickness of the D nozzle heads, to have more space for the outlet cables and as a consequence be able to increase the number of hot half injection points obtainable with D nozzles.
