Machine Tending of Insert Molded Parts through YASKAWA GP25

This machine tending automation solution utilizes the YASKAWA Motoman-GP25 to support and automate the insert molding process. By employing two pairs of double grippers, the robot simultaneously loads two insert parts into the mold and extracts two finished products once the molding cycle is complete, transferring them to the next stage.

The integration of this high-precision, high-speed industrial robot with a linear (Cartesian) robot system ensures continuous, idle-free production, leading to a significant boost in overall productivity.

Components

Robot	Robot: YASKAWA GP25 Type: 6-axis articulated industrial robot Payload: 25kg (Ideal for heavy grippers and multi-part handling) Reach: 1,730mm (Long-arm design for deep machine access) Weight: 250kg Repeatability: ±0.06mm

Workflow

STEP 1.	Picking: The robot picks up the raw insert parts.
STEP 2.	Loading: Inserts the parts precisely into the injection molding machine.
STEP 3.	Extraction: Picks up the finished molded products from the mold.
STEP 4.	Unloading: Transfers and unloads the finished parts onto the linear robot for further transport.
