WX90 This servo-driven picker robot, which can remove finished parts or sprues, is appropriate for use with injection molding machines (IMMs) with clamping forces ranging from 35 tons to 150 tons. As standard, it is equipped with a gripper but it also can be combined with a gripper valve or vacuum unit.
What’s new? The WX90, which came out last year. Starting in July, it’s now available for use with injection molding machines provided by companies other than Wittmann.
Benefits Full integration with IMMs. Like all new Wittmann robots, the WX90 uses Wittmann’s latest-generation R9 controller, which can be fully integrated with the IMM, allowing it to function with its own, very compact control cabinet, rather than a full control cabinet that would take up additional floor space. This saves equipment costs, as well as space. The robot is quiet and energy efficient.
