Articulated robot easix

6-axisfor productionfor injection molding machines

Overview
The ENGEL easix articulated-arm robot is engineered for injection moulding automation, delivering precise path following, flexible positioning and rapid parts handling. Its slim design enables compact moulding cells and use in confined spaces while preserving high freedom of orientation.

Control & integration
The easix solution integrates jointed-arm robot control directly into the injection moulding machine control. Robot movement commands are available via the machine's graphical user interface, allowing operation without specialised robot programming skills and ensuring a single control environment.

Key benefits

• Consistent operating logic through integrated control for improved comfort and efficiency
• Precise positioning in confined spaces
• High speeds and smooth path behaviour for rapid parts handling
• Flexible connection to a wide range of gripper solutions

Applications

• Automation of large and complex injection-moulded parts (e.g. bumpers, instrument panel carriers)
• Handling and processing tasks requiring precise trajectory control
• Compact cell layouts for high area productivity
• Special environments such as cleanroom applications

Operation and automation advantages

• Fully integrated robot control inside the injection moulding machine control
• No separate robot programming required; robot commands follow the machine control logic
• Seamless integration of standard and customised grippers for efficient handling
