Explore our flagship high-precision 3-axis and 5-axis servo-driven robotic arms built for heavy payloads and ultra-fast take-out cycles.
In modern industrial plastic processing and high-precision manufacturing, the demand for elevated structural stability, rapid cycle times, and repeat accuracy (down to ±0.02mm) has transformed factory floors worldwide. As global manufacturers shift toward Industry 4.0 paradigms, the traditional cantilever or single-beam robotic picker is increasingly replaced by the Frame Type Full Servo Manipulator. This structural architecture utilizes a closed-loop portal dynamic frame suspended directly over the injection molding machine (IMM), offering unrivaled rigidity, reduced structural harmonic vibration, and heavy payload capacity up to 100 kg or higher.
Across North America, Western Europe, and East Asia, high-volume production lines—spanning automotive bumpers, medical diagnostic cartridges, multi-cavity beverage packaging, and precision 3C electronic housings—require 24/7 continuous operation. Full servo control across X, Y, and Z main axes, along with secondary rotational AC servo axes (A/C wrist rotation), guarantees smooth trajectories and eliminates pneumatic jerk. Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. stands at the forefront of this industrial transition, supplying overseas factory plants and global distributors with factory-direct OEM/ODM manufacturing capability.
| Performance Metric | Frame Type Full Servo Manipulator (Zhiyi) | Standard Cantilever / Side-Entry Arm |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Rigidity | Dual-supported portal frame minimizes deflection and torsional strain under maximum payload. | Single-ended beam subject to bending moments and tip oscillation. |
| Positioning Repeatability | ±0.015 mm to ±0.02 mm with high-resolution optical absolute encoders. | ±0.05 mm to ±0.10 mm due to beam vibration at high speeds. |
| Max Payload Capacity | 15 kg up to 120 kg (Optimized for large 1000T - 3300T IMMs). | Typically limited to under 15 kg for high-speed applications. |
| Take-out Cycle Speed | Ultra-fast dry cycle times down to 0.6 seconds without structural flex. | Restricted acceleration curves to prevent vibration during mold entry. |
| Downstream Integration | Seamless overhead integration with IML, vision inspection, and Palletizing modules. | Requires secondary floor-mounted robotic arms for complex post-processing. |
Pioneer of Intelligent Manufacturing — Combining Deep R&D Expertise with Scalable Production Capabilities
Established in 2017 against the backdrop of Industry 4.0, Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. quickly made breakthroughs in high-speed truss manipulators for thermos cups and lunch box production. Recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise, the company has expanded into articulated robots, automated packaging systems, and premium frame-type servo manipulators.
Backed by an elite engineering team, Zhiyi holds 13 utility and invention patents spanning mechanical structure, intelligent servo control algorithms, multi-axis synchronization, and adaptive end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). We continuously collaborate with leading academic institutions to pioneer next-generation automation.
Zhiyi actively supports the "Belt and Road" initiative, establishing overseas service centers across Southeast Asia and global trade hubs. With 50+ dedicated employees and an annual capacity of 2,500 units, we offer professional, fast, economical, and secure one-stop wholesale and exporter services.
Global procurement teams evaluating suppliers for Frame Type Full Servo Manipulators must balance initial capital expenditure (CAPEX) with long-term operational efficiency and reliability. Sourcing directly from Zhejiang Zhiyi in China provides strategic cost and technological advantages without compromising industrial build quality.
Located in Zhejiang's advanced industrial hardware belt, Zhiyi benefits from immediate local access to precision CNC machining centers, high-tensile extruded aluminum profiles, premium servo gearboxes, and specialized surface treatment suppliers. This reduces production lead times to 2-3 weeks for standard models.
Our standardized mass production capacity of 2,500 units annually drives down unit costs. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and global Tier-1 molders can achieve full automation ROI within 8 to 12 months while lowering labor costs significantly.
Every Zhiyi servo manipulator undergoes 72 hours of continuous full-speed endurance load testing, laser interferometer calibration, and electrical safety verification before dispatch, guaranteeing ISO9001 and CE compliance.

The global industrial robotics sector is undergoing massive technological convergence. For B2B importers, buying decision criteria are shifting from simple mechanical specs to intelligent ecosystem integration. Zhiyi is leading this transition through four technological pillars:
In-Depth Answers to Global Procurement and Technical Engineering Queries
Frame type manipulators feature a double-supported portal structure over the injection molding machine. This provides significantly higher mechanical stiffness, eliminates arm sagging on long strokes (1500mm-3000mm), and allows for faster acceleration without residual vibration. They are ideal for high-tonnage IMMs (above 800T) and heavy payload applications.
Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. is an ISO9001 certified manufacturer. All products carry official CE certification. Components such as linear guides, servo motors (Panasonic/Yaskawa/innovative domestic high-speed drives), and pneumatic valves are sourced from world-class suppliers and subjected to rigorous 72-hour load testing prior to shipping.
Yes. Zhiyi specializes in custom welding, tailored vertical stroke lengths, dual-arm configurations (product arm + runner arm), and specialized in-mold insert placement (IML/metal inlay) tooling designed specifically around your mold geometry and IMM platen dimensions.
Standard 3-axis and 5-axis models ship within 15 to 20 business days. For global buyers, we offer 24/7 online technical support, video remote commissioning, detailed English documentation, and local service support through our expanding network of regional distributors across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
