Nine (9) Important Things to Consider When Buying Industrial Robots for Injection Molding Presses
  1. Plant floor space and configuration - Knowing proximity and layout of machinery around can determine where robot should enter the press.
  2. Working Envelope - This is the region of space the robot can reach in.
  3. How many axes your part requires for removal - Axes include X, Y, Z and determines full movement of robot.
  4. The speed of your robot in conjunction with molding cycles - Proper speed cuts down molding cycles and reduces operation costs.
  5. The total weight that the robot can carry for a mold - Product Payload varies widely from robot to robot.
  6. The accuracy of your robot -Important for advanced molds.
  7. The precision of your robot - Critical for high quality and difficult molds.
  8. Do servo or pneumatic robots fit your situation Pneumatic is driven by air compressors or air tanks; Servo is driven by an electrical motor.
  9. The distances between x, y, z axes of movement for your processing - This measurement is vital for overall operation and where robot will be dropping successful molds.
