Today's injection molders are looking beyond basic part removal to build more flexible, efficient production cells that improve throughput and reduce reliance on manual labor.

This overview highlights Yaskawa’s robotic solutions for injection molding machine take-out, comparing gantry and articulating robots, while detailing secondary applications with real-world examples and explaining how to integrate articulating arms into existing gantry setups.

Pain Points/Key Takeaways:

Skilled Labor Shortages & Turning Over Tribes
Unplanned Machine Downtime & Process Variations
While the value of secondary automation is clear, defining the optimal entry point and deployment roadmap remains a primary challenge.

Who Should Attend:

Process Engineer (IM Industry)
Automation Engineers (IM Industry)
Integrators looking to get into plastic industry

Industry Facts:

“Gray Wave” – Average workers are over 46 years old
30% efficiency boost by automation on IMM
Molders are faced with high mix, low volume, which equals to increase in mold changes and process change over.
