Since its establishment in 2017, the company has always been committed to providing customers with high-quality automation equipment and solutions to promote the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
Our specialization in high-performance robot servo systems for machine tending enables modern smart factories to achieve unmatched efficiency. By replacing manual machine loading and unloading with high-speed, multi-axis servo-driven robotic arms, we eliminate production bottlenecks, minimize cycle times, and ensure consistent product quality across various manufacturing sectors.
An in-depth analysis of technical mechanisms, industrial trends, and market demands.
Machine tending—the process of loading raw materials into a processing machine (such as a CNC mill, lathe, or injection molding machine) and unloading finished parts—has traditionally been a labor-intensive task. With rising labor costs, labor shortages, and the critical need for absolute precision, manufacturers globally are turning to robot servo-controlled automated solutions. Modern machine tending demands not just simple movement, but high repeatability, speed, and adaptive path planning.
The core component driving this revolution is the robot servo system. Unlike pneumatic or basic variable-frequency drives, servo systems offer closed-loop feedback control. This allows the robotic arm to monitor its exact position, velocity, and torque in real-time. Whether handling heavy automotive components or delicate silicone medical parts, the servo system ensures that the robot interacts with the machine tool or mold with sub-millimeter precision, preventing damage to expensive tooling.
The industry is witnessing a massive shift from simple 3-axis Cartesian robots to highly flexible 5-axis servo robots and articulated robotic arms. A 5-axis servo robot offers additional degrees of freedom, allowing it to perform complex manipulation tasks such as part flipping, post-process deburring, vision inspection, and precise packaging right after extraction.
Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced vision systems with robot servos is changing the machine tending landscape. AI-driven path optimization algorithms calculate the most efficient motion profile in real-time, reducing cycle times by up to 15%. Intelligent force-torque servo sensing allows the robot to "feel" if a part is misaligned during loading, making automatic adjustments on the fly and drastically reducing machine downtime.
High-resolution encoders provide continuous feedback, enabling the servo motor to maintain positional accuracy within ±0.02mm during high-speed machine loading operations.
Integrated control architectures allow simultaneous movement across 3, 5, or more axes, minimizing idle time and optimizing the injection molding extraction cycle.
Modern servo drives recycle deceleration energy back into the system, reducing overall factory power consumption during 24/7 continuous operation.
Seamless integration with EUROMAP 67 and EUROMAP 12 interfaces ensures safe and instant handshaking between the robot servo controller and the injection molding machine.
Tracing our journey from a specialized component developer to a leading intelligent robot brand.
The establishment of Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. stems from the founder's deep insight into the intelligent manufacturing industry and his unremitting pursuit of technological innovation. Against the backdrop of Industry 4.0, the company came into being, aiming to improve the production efficiency and product quality of the manufacturing industry through intelligent and automated technologies.
In the early days of the company, it mainly focused on the research and development and production of truss manipulators. With the team's technical strength and market insight, it quickly made breakthroughs in the manufacturing fields of thermos cups, lunch boxes, etc., and won wide recognition from customers.
With the continuous maturity of technology and the growth of market demand, the company began to get involved in the research and development of articulated robots and automatic packaging machines. Through continuous technological innovation, the company's product line has gradually enriched, and the application areas have also expanded from the initial thermos cups and lunch boxes to household goods, precision, kitchenware, daily necessities, auto parts and other fields.
With its excellent products and services, Zhejiang Zhiyi Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. has won the honorary title of "National High-tech Enterprise", which is not only a recognition of the company's technical strength, but also an encouragement for the company's future development.
Designed to cater to diverse industrial automation and machine tending requirements.
The servo manipulator is one of the company's core products. With its high precision, high efficiency and high stability, it is widely used in the automated production line of the manufacturing industry. According to the needs of different industries, the company has developed a variety of servo manipulators to meet the diverse production needs of customers.
The articulated robot is capable of completing complex operating tasks with its flexibility and multi-degree-of-freedom. The company has invested a lot of resources in the research and development of articulated robots, making it reach the industry-leading level in terms of precision, speed and load capacity.
Automatic packaging machine is the key development area of the company in recent years. Through automation technology, the packaging efficiency and quality have been greatly improved. According to the packaging needs of different products, the company has designed a variety of automatic packaging solutions to provide customized packaging services for customers.
How our servo robots solve specific production challenges across high-demanding environments.
In plastic injection molding, minimizing the "mold-open time" is critical to achieving high efficiency. Our 5-axis servo robots are engineered to enter the mold space, secure the finished parts via custom vacuum or mechanical grippers, and extract them within milliseconds. The precise servo feedback ensures that the ejector pins and the robotic arm move in perfect synchronization, preventing any deformation of the hot plastic parts. This is highly applicable in automotive bumper production, medical syringe manufacturing, and consumer electronics packaging.
For metalworking and CNC machining centers, a single articulated or gantry servo robot can tend multiple machines simultaneously. The robot picks raw metal billets from a conveyor, loads them into the CNC vice, triggers the machining cycle, and unloads the finished components onto an inspection station. The high torque capability of our servo motors ensures stable handling of heavy metal payloads, while the robust sealing protects the robot joints from cutting fluids, metal chips, and harsh industrial dust.
Insert molding requires the robot to place metal terminals or secondary plastic inserts into the mold cavity before the injection process begins. This demands an extremely high level of spatial accuracy. A minor deviation of 0.1mm could ruin the mold or lead to defective parts. Zhiyi's servo manipulators utilize advanced position-compare technology to guarantee that inserts are placed with absolute repeatability, ensuring flawless overmolding for automotive connectors and power tool components.
