Used Asitech Collaborative Robots

Overview

Collaborative robots for injection molding are lightweight, safety-focused robots designed to work alongside operators on molding cells. They handle tasks like part removal, machine tending, trimming, inspection and simple assembly. Cobots offer easy programming, small footprints, and repeatable motion, improving cycle times and ergonomics without complex safety fencing. Key specs to check are payload, reach, repeatability, cycle speed and compatibility with your press and end‑of‑arm tooling.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used cobot for injection molding?

Verify payload, reach, repeatability and cycle speed against your parts. Check controller/software version, end‑of‑arm tooling, safety features (force/torque limits), maintenance records, and compatibility with your press and conveyors.

How do I ship a collaborative robot safely?

Power down and secure joints, remove or lock delicate end‑of‑arm tooling, pack in a padded crate or original case, label electronics and batteries, and use an experienced carrier with machinery insurance and lift equipment.

What maintenance is required for cobots in molding cells?

Follow manufacturer intervals: inspect cables and connectors, check wrist/backlash and gearboxes, clean sensors, update firmware, lubricate as specified, and verify safety limits. Keep a log of cycle hours and any faults.
