3-Axis Robots for Plastic Molding Automation
Robotic Automation Systems employs 3-axis robots, also known as top entry robots, for plastic molding automation on horizontal plastic injection molding machines (top entry applications) and operations requiring higher speeds.
Typical Plastic Molding Automation Applications
Typical plastic molding automation applications for top entry 3-axis robots include:
- Part picking and handling automation
- Insert loading automation
- In-mold decorating (IMD)/In-mold labeling (IML) automation
- Sorting and stacking automation
- Packaging and palletizing automation
- Inspection automation
About Top Entry Robots
Top entry robots or 3-axis robots (also known as linear robots, Cartesian robots, gantry robots or beam robots), are the workhorses of plastic injection molding automation.
