2. Number of Axes: The Foundation of Flexibility and Precision

Technical Definition: The number of axes represents the robot's degrees of freedom. The mainstream configurations for injection molding machine servo robots are 3-axis and 5-axis. More axes mean more flexible motion trajectories, adaptable to complex pick-and-place, stacking, and embedding processes.

Key Selection Criteria: European and American factories often require multi-process integration in their production lines (such as direct sorting, embedding, and traying after injection molding). 3-axis robots are suitable for simple pick-and-place scenarios (such as unidirectional material feeding), while 5-axis dual-arm robots can achieve multi-dimensional precision operation, improving the level of automation integration in production.

ZHIYI Product Advantages: ZHIYI offers a complete product line with various axes: the 3-axis single-arm single-section robot (Model: WKG-1000) emphasizes high cost-effectiveness and is suitable for standardized injection molding production lines; the 5-axis dual-arm double-section series is designed for complex processes, supporting simultaneous operation at two workstations, increasing production efficiency by over 40%. All axes utilize servo drive technology, resulting in fast motion response and precise trajectory planning, perfectly meeting the "highly integrated" production needs of European and American factories.

3. Repeat Positioning Accuracy: Guaranteeing Product Consistency

Technical Definition: Repeat positioning accuracy refers to the deviation between the actual position reached and the target position after a robot arm executes the same motion command multiple times. The unit is typically ±0.01mm-±0.1mm, and it is a core indicator for measuring the precision of a servo robot arm.

Key Selection Criteria: The European and American markets have stringent requirements for dimensional tolerances in injection molded products (such as medical injection molded parts and electronic components). Repeat positioning accuracy directly affects product yield—excessive deviation can lead to workpiece damage, mold wear, and increased production costs.

ZHIYI Product Advantages: ZHIYI injection molding machine servo robots utilize a high-precision servo motor and ball screw transmission structure, achieving a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm, placing them at the forefront of the industry. The CE-certified precision control system can compensate for motion errors in real time, ensuring long-term precision stability and helping European and American customers increase product yield to over 99.8%, meeting the high-standard requirements of industries such as automotive and medical.

4. Operating Speed: The Core Driver of Production Efficiency

Technical Definition: Operating speed includes horizontal speed, vertical speed, and rotational speed, typically measured in mm/s. It reflects the efficiency of the robotic arm in completing pick-and-place and transfer actions, directly impacting the injection molding machine's cycle time.

Key Selection Factors: European and American manufacturing industries emphasize optimizing production cycle time, especially in high-volume production scenarios (such as daily necessities and packaging materials). A 10% increase in operating speed can save 5%-8% of unit production costs.

ZHIYI Product Advantages: ZHIYI servo robotic arms utilize optimized motion algorithms and a high-speed servo drive system, achieving a maximum horizontal speed of 800mm/s and a maximum vertical speed of 600mm/s, 20% higher than the industry average. While maintaining high-speed operation, buffering technology reduces impact loads, preventing workpieces from falling or being damaged, achieving a dual balance of "high efficiency + stability," helping customers shorten injection molding cycle times and increase production capacity.

5. Stroke Range: Key to Mold and Site Adaptation

Technical Definition: Stroke range refers to the maximum distance the robot can move along each axis, including horizontal, vertical, and forward/backward strokes. It must match the injection molding machine's mold size, machine height, and factory layout.

Selection Criteria: European and American factories offer a wide variety of injection molding machine models (from small to medium-sized desktop machines to large injection molding production lines). Insufficient stroke range will result in the inability to cover the mold pick-up area, while excessive stroke will waste space and energy.
