STAR Automation

STAR Cartesian robots, sprue pickers and automation systems provide fast, precise and repeatable part handling. From take-out from the mould to insert loading, IML, stacking and palletising – we adapt the solution to your part, production cycle and available space.

Reliable take-out and precise positioning

The XW-VIP and Es-IV series robots provide automated take-out and controlled placing of parts. Preset operating modes make them easy to use, while free programming allows adaptation to more complex sequences.

For both series, the manufacturer specifies a positioning accuracy of ±0.1 mm. The XW-VIP series is also suitable for insert loading, IML and linking with other equipment in the production cell.

High speed for short production cycles

ZXW-VIP high-speed robots are designed for applications where a short mould-open time matters. In a suitable application, they allow take-out in less than one second.

They are mainly suited to packaging production, IML and other processes that require fast and precise handling.

Insert loading and IML

Automated insert loading ensures repeatable positioning of components in the mould before injection. IML systems handle placing labels in the mould and handling the parts.

Depending on the part and the required cycle, solutions with side-entry or top-entry robots are available.

Automation beyond injection moulding machines

Custom STAR robots and systems handle and palletise packed or unpacked products on production lines. Special automation is designed around the specific task, product and workflow.

By taking over repetitive tasks, they help relieve staff, improve work organisation and increase productivity.

EINS grippers – the link between robot and part

The EINS range includes components for robot grippers: suction cups, gripper tongs, gripper changers, cylinders, sensors and other elements.

It allows a gripper to be built to suit the shape of the part and the handling method. The components can also be used on robots from other manufacturers.

XW-VIP – versatile Cartesian robots

Cartesian robots for part take-out, insert loading, IML and linking with other equipment in the production cell.

Es-IV – automated take-out and placing

Cartesian robots for automated take-out and placing of parts. Preset operating modes make them easy to use, while free programming allows adaptation to the production process.

ZXW-VIP – high-speed robots

High-speed robots for short production cycles, packaging production and IML. In a suitable application, they allow part take-out in less than one second.

Sp-F VI – sprue pickers

Sprue pickers for basic automation of the injection moulding machine. With additional vacuum equipment, they can also take out parts.

IML – in-mould labelling

Systems for automated placing of labels in the mould and part handling. Depending on the part and the required cycle, solutions with side-entry or top-entry robots are available.

Automated insert loading

Solutions for precise and repeatable positioning of components in the mould before injection. We adapt the automation to the part and the requirements of the production process.

Pallet Changers – I and M series

Systems for automatic changing of trays or carriers and stacking of parts at the injection moulding machine. Connected to a Cartesian robot, they provide an automated flow from take-out to orderly stacking.

Palletising and special automation

Custom systems for handling, stacking and palletising packed or unpacked products. They are also suitable for production lines and other tasks outside plastic injection moulding.

EINS – robot gripper components

Suction cups, gripper tongs, gripper changers, cylinders and sensors allow a gripper to be built to suit the shape of the part and the handling method. The components can also be used on robots from other manufacturers.
