Explore our high-performance Cartesian servo manipulators engineered for continuous industrial extraction and high-speed precision automation.
Analyzing the paradigm shift in plastic processing factories: Transitioning from manual offloading to full-spectrum Cartesian servo automation under Industry 4.0.
Modern plastic manufacturing plants operating ultra-large injection molding machines (2000T to 2300T) face strict cycle-time constraints and safety risks during heavy mold part removal. Custom 3-axis and 5-axis servo robots eliminate operator exposure to high thermal environments, delivering structural rigidness with AC servo acceleration up to 10m/s².
Advanced OEM/ODM 3-axis robot architectures (such as the Bullhead series and Telescopic arm configurations) enable multi-cavity precision insertion of metals, micro-sensors, and In-Mold Labels (IML). Position repeatability down to ±0.02mm guarantees absolute alignment for multi-shot molding.
Equipped with regenerative braking drives and lightweight aluminum/carbon-fiber composite arm profiles, modern 3-axis servo robots decrease overall power consumption by up to 30% compared to legacy pneumatic or hydraulic handling systems, supporting global decarbonization mandates.
National High-tech Enterprise driving intelligent manufacturing innovation through robust R&D, certified quality engineering, and custom ODM solutions.
Founded in 2017, Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. emerged from a strategic vision to address growing industrial automation gaps.

Dissecting the mechanical engineering, drive electronics, and software integration that power Zhiyi's market-leading ODM robots.
Our 3-axis robots utilize AC Absolute Servo drives across transverse (X), main-kick (Y), and vertical (Z) axes. Absolute encoders eliminate the need for homing routines upon power-up, significantly cutting down production cycle resumption times and preventing mechanical collision hazards.
For facilities with restricted overhead room, our double-section telescopic vertical arms reduce overall machine height by 40% while maintaining stroke lengths up to 2500mm. Heavy-duty Bullhead (WKG-1500 series) beam structures utilize high-rigidity structural steel, minimizing vibration during rapid 15kg-20kg payload acceleration.
Seamless plug-and-play integration is achieved through standard Euromap 67 / Euromap 12 interlock interfaces. Hardware signals synchronize ejection, mold closure protection, core-pull commands, and safety door interlocks. Modbus-TCP and EtherCAT support real-time telemetry feeding into enterprise MES dashboards.
We design custom pneumatic vacuum grippers, mechanical clamping jaws, and magnetic fixtures tailored to unique part geometries. Integrated vacuum sensors detect part retention status within 0.05 seconds, stopping system movement instantly if vacuum loss occurs.

A 3-axis servo robot features digital AC servo motor control across the main Cartesian axes: Transverse (X), Crosswise Kick (Y), and Vertical Stroke (Z). This is ideal for high-speed take-out, simple stacking, and basic conveyer placement. A 5-axis servo robot adds servo-driven wrist rotation (C-axis and B-axis), enabling complex part tilting, angled insert loading, precise degating, and complex mold cavity extractions.
For large clamping force IMMs (2000T-2300T), structural rigidity, vertical clearance, and arm payload are critical parameters. Models like the Zhiyi 3-Axis Bullhead Robot (WKG-1500 series) provide a reinforced dual-beam frame engineered to withstand 15kg to 25kg payload EOATs while offering stroke lengths up to 2500mm and maintaining cycle repeatability of ±0.02mm.
Our robots come factory-equipped with universal Euromap 67 (E67) and Euromap 12 (E12) plug interfaces. These standards ensure full electrical hardware interlock with injection molding machines across global brands (including Engel, KraussMaffei, Haitian, Yizumi, and Sumitomo Demag).
Yes. Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. offers full-service custom ODM EOAT design. We engineer combination grippers featuring mechanical chucks, vacuum suction circuits, pneumatic nip cutters, and optical sensors specifically tailored to your part CAD data.
Standard production lead time for customized ODM 3-axis servo robots is typically 15 to 25 business days from 3D CAD sign-off, inclusive of complete assembly, wiring, and 72-hour factory testing.
Telescopic vertical arms use a two-stage synchronized belt mechanism. The inner arm section retracts inside the outer section during horizontal travel, cutting vertical height clearance requirements by up to 40% while preserving full stroke depth inside the mold cavity.
Zhiyi robots are certified under ISO9001:2015 Quality Management Systems and hold full CE Mark certification (Directive 2006/42/EC on Machinery, LVD 2014/35/EU, and EMC 2014/30/EU), enabling seamless deployment across European, American, and Asian markets.
Zhiyi provides comprehensive spare parts support with key mechanical components (bearings, linear guides, pneumatic valves) standardized from premium global suppliers like THK, SMC, and Yaskawa. Regional service hubs in Southeast Asia and Europe provide rapid local delivery and field engineering assistance.
AC servo drives consume energy proportional to current torque demand and utilize regenerative electrical braking to recycle energy during deceleration phases. In contrast, pneumatic systems expend continuous compressed air energy regardless of load weight, resulting in up to 30% higher total electricity usage.
Yes. Our robot controllers feature expandability for external I/O modules, enabling seamless communication with downstream equipment including conveyor belts, auto-packaging machinery, optical vision inspection stations, sprue granulators, and hot-stamping units.
