Flexlift from Arburg: Tailored Automation for Asia’s Manufacturing Needs
- For Asia: Flexlift For Automated Production Of Moulded Parts
- Exclusive: Robotic system specifically for Asia
- Flexible: Flexlift with loads of 5, 10, or 15 kilograms and one or two vertical axes
- Reliable, fast, precise: Powerful introduction to automated moulded part production
Arburg now offers a linear robotic system designed specifically and exclusively for the Asian market as an entry-level solution for the automated production of moulded parts: the Flexlift – available in six different versions. The vertical-entry robotic system is perfectly adapted to the requirements of customers from Asia. For example, the Flexlift can also be installed on the operating side of the machine if required.
Arburg’s Flexlift, which is produced exclusively in and for Asia, has been designed to meet the market’s demand for a reliable, fast and precise robotic system with an impressive price/performance ratio.
Powerful and user friendly
The Flexlift is suitable for Allrounder injection moulding machines in sizes 320 to 570. The flexible robotic system is available in six different versions: with loads of 5, 10 or 15 kilograms and with the option of one or two vertical axes. Typical areas of application include the careful removal of moulded parts and sprue, the handling of inserts, and applications in medical technology and clean rooms. Particles are reliably retained thanks to the encapsulated design and a filter for the vacuum generator.
Its low height and telescopic design mean that the robotic system is also suitable for confined spaces. Powerful, energy-efficient servo motors ensure that the vertical mould-entry axes are extremely dynamic and precise – enabling fast removal, precise and vibration-free movements and short cycle times. To save energy and reduce wear, axis speeds can be reduced if necessary. The robust, low-maintenance technology and optional performance-dependent automatic lubrication ensure a long service life and high availability.
Modular adaptability
Arburg can adapt the modular Flexlift precisely to the respective requirements – for example, with application-specific drives and valve sets alongside variable positioning of the control cabinet. This is supplemented by easily accessible pneumatic and vacuum interfaces for end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and peripheral technology. If needed, Arburg can also implement complete turnkey systems in its Technology Factory (ATF) in Pinghu and additively manufacture gripper components for the Flexlift, for example.
Robotic system integrated into controller
The robotic system is quick and easy to get up and running because the control panel has the same interface as the machine controller. Integration via OPC UA enables enhanced communication and synchronisable movements. One major advantage is that the data sets of the machine and the robot can be stored and retrieved together. This central data set saves time, reduces the effort required to manage configuration data, and significantly increases process reliability and production efficiency. The machine controller can be used to start and stop the robotic system, for example, and to display and acknowledge alarm messages.
