Explore our high-performance servo robotic arms engineered for extreme repeatability, cycle time reduction, and seamless IMM integration.
The global plastic processing industry is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by demographic changes, rising energy costs, and stringent precision requirements. According to international manufacturing benchmarks, traditional manual extraction and basic pneumatics in plastic injection molding machines (IMM) account for up to 35% of production downtime and continuous scrap variance. As factories globally adopt Smart Industry 4.0 standards, integrating high-precision servo robotics is no longer optional—it is the baseline for operational survival.
Global plastic manufacturers face acute skilled labor shortages. Automated servo robotic arms eliminate reliance on manual takeaway labor, operating 24/7 with zero operational fatigue.
By synchronizing mold opening signals via Euromap 67 / SPI interfaces, 3-axis and 5-axis servo robots take out parts in under 0.8 to 1.5 seconds, reducing total dry cycle times by up to 25%.
Direct cost savings up to 30% are achieved through reduced scrap rates, optimized runner separation, reduced energy expenditure, and zero damage to high-gloss cavity surfaces.
Established in 2017, Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. has grown into a recognized industry leader and certified National High-Tech Enterprise. Headquartered in China’s automation hardware hub, Zhiyi fuses deep domain engineering with advanced R&D to deliver turn-key injection molding automation solutions worldwide.
Zhiyi’s robot portfolio is architected around absolute rigidity, vibration-suppression algorithms, and modular End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) to accommodate injection molding machines ranging from 50 Tons up to 3,500 Tons.
Designed for ultra-high structural stability under heavy payloads (e.g., WKG-1500 series). Features heavy-duty linear guide rails, double-arm structures for simultaneous runner and product extraction, ideal for 250T up to 2300T IMMs.
Provides complete 5-degree-of-freedom control with AC servo drives on all axes. Perfect for complex part tilting, degating, matrix stacking, and multi-cavity precision insert molding where complex spatial rotation is mandatory.
Engineered with non-contaminating materials, dust-proof enclosures, and micro-pressure vacuum sensors specially tuned for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and ultra-soft thermoplastic elastomers without deformation.
Matching the robotic arm to machine clamping force and stroke requirement is critical for maintaining maximum mechanical lifespan and safety.
