Wittmann’s Pro series robots use lightweight construction techniques to improve dynamics and cut energy use
All will include an anti-vibration system as a standard feature, which is claimed to put the
robots among the fastest and most precise models on the market. Star also demonstrated a space-saving confi guration of robot and moulding machine on the stand of Italian machinery maker BMB, where the company was producing a large house- hold container on an 850 tonne all-elec-
remove 1.5-litre containers from a 2x4 packaging stack mould by StackTeck. Meanwhile, at Plast in Milan Star Automation
unveiled two new series of Cartesian robots, the XW-VI and Es-II. The fi rst replaces the existing Lx series, while the Es-II is a revamped entry-level range. Star says with the XW-VI series it has focused on reducing open mould time and on increasing payload by strengthening the main structure. The Es-II series builds on the high quality and low price of the previous range. Representing the range was a XW-1400VI, suitable
for machines with clamp forces ranging from 250 to 700 tonnes. In all, there will be six models in this new range.
tric machine on a sub-20s cycle. In this application, the Lx-1800 linear robot was mounted on a 45˚ inclined traverse beam, allowing the bulky parts to be deposited away from the mould area to simplify operator access.
High end automation High-end automation specialist Hekuma introduced its modular Hekufl ex automation concept at NPE. It describes this as an option to provide higher fl exibility in automation while at the same time making the entire production cycle leaner and more effi cient. The company has medical applications particularly in mind, typically production of pipettes. Hekuma has developed a decentralised controller
