In today’s industrial manufacturing environment, where efficiency, precision, and competitiveness are key, Hilectro XTC robots have become a high-performance solution to automate processes in the plastic injection industry. Their advanced design, integration capabilities with injection molding machines, and ease of use make them strategic allies for boosting productivity in demanding production lines.
Automation in Plastic Injection: A Leap Toward Efficiency
Automation in injection processes is no longer optional but essential. Companies in the sector seek to reduce cycle times, optimize costs, and improve the final quality of parts. In this context, robotics plays a fundamental role.
Hilectro robots, especially the XTC series, are designed to work directly within production cells alongside plastic injection machines, automating tasks such as part removal, insert placement, stacking, inspection, or packaging.
What Are Hilectro XTC Robots?
Hilectro XTC robots are servo-driven Cartesian manipulators specifically designed to operate in injection molding lines. They feature precise movement technology on the X, Y, and Z axes, enabling accurate interaction with the mold and the final product.
This series is known for its modular design, lightweight structure, very short cycle times, and user-friendly programming. They are compatible with most injection molding machines, including Haitian models, ensuring seamless integration in automated industrial environments.
Main Technical Features
- Servo-driven axes with repeatability accuracy under ±0.1 mm.
- High-speed movement, with part extraction times under 1.5 seconds.
- Touchscreen and intuitive control system, with multilingual interface.
- Simple programming, compatible with custom cycles.
- Extruded aluminum structure that is both lightweight and rigid, minimizing inertia and improving stability.
- Safety features with collision detection and emergency stop.
- Fully automatic or semi-automatic modes, adaptable to various production lines.
Competitive Advantages of Hilectro Robots
1. Reduced Cycle Time
Automating part removal and placement speeds up the entire cycle, allowing greater output without sacrificing quality.
2. Higher Repeatability and Accuracy
By removing human variability, Hilectro robots ensure consistent and precise movements, directly impacting the quality of the finished product.
3. Lower Error and Defect Rate
Parts are handled with consistent trajectory, pressure, and speed, reducing damage, deformation, or contamination during handling.
4. Labor Cost Savings
Automating repetitive tasks allows staff to focus on higher-value functions, reducing the impact of workforce turnover on production lines.
5. Easy Integration
Hilectro robots are designed to integrate smoothly into new or existing injection lines. Their compatibility with peripherals such as conveyors, quality sensors, or labeling systems makes them highly versatile.
6. Optimized Maintenance
The simple structure, combined with standardized electronic components, facilitates preventive maintenance and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.
