What Is a 3-Axis Servo Robot for Injection Moulding?

A 3-axis servo robot automates part removal from an injection moulding machine. After each cycle, the robot enters the mould area, grips the finished part, and places it on a conveyor, stacking station, or inspection zone — reducing manual labour, improving cycle consistency, and enabling unattended production.

Futech IMM robots are designed for rapid and precise removal of moulded parts from the machine and placement at desired locations. They support arranging, stacking, quality checking, and in-mould label (IML) applications. Built with servo motors on all main axes and precision linear guide rails, our robots integrate seamlessly with Futech injection moulding machines and other brands.

Robot Series Overview

Choose between our Standard FSR Series for general material handling or the High-Speed FHS Series for ultra-short cycle applications.

Standard Series

FSR Series 3-Axis Servo Robot

The FSR Series is Futech’s robust standard-range robot built for exceptional payload capacity and a large working envelope. Ideal for general pick-and-place, stacking, and material handling on medium to large injection moulding machines.

  • High payload capacity for larger parts
  • Wide vertical, crosswise, and swing stroke options
  • Open-type telescopic arm design
  • Servo-driven 3-axis motion
  • Cycle time down to 2.8 seconds
  • Suited for containers, closures, and industrial parts
High Speed Series

FHS Series 3-Axis Servo Robot

The FHS Series delivers a balance of speed, precision, and compact design. A single arm with double-stage telescopic construction and open-type frame makes it the preferred choice for thin-wall and high-volume packaging where every fraction of a second counts.

  • Minimum take-out time of 0.6 seconds
  • Optimized for 3–6 second mould cycles
  • Compact footprint for limited workspace
  • 3 to 5-axis servo system options
  • Payload up to 10 kg on larger models
  • Ideal for lunch boxes, cutlery, and thin-wall products

How the 3-Axis Motion Works

Each axis is independently servo-controlled for smooth, repeatable movement inside and outside the mould area.

Vertical Axis (Z)

Lifts and lowers the arm into the mould to grip the part and retract clear of the platens. Vertical stroke ranges from 650 mm to 2200 mm depending on model.

Crosswise Axis (Y)

Moves the arm horizontally along the face of the mould for precise positioning over the cavity. Crosswise stroke ranges from 800 mm to 2400 mm.

Swing / Traverse Axis (X)

Rotates the arm in and out of the mould area to place parts on a conveyor, stacking fixture, or secondary operation station. Swing stroke up to 3500 mm.

Key Features & Engineering

Built for reliability on the production floor with components chosen for speed, rigidity, and long service life.

Servo Motor Drive

All main axes are driven by high-performance servo motors for precise positioning, smooth acceleration, and programmable motion profiles.

Linear Guide Rails

High-speed linear guide rails ensure low-friction, accurate linear movement with minimal vibration during rapid pick-and-place cycles.

Aluminium Alloy Beams

Structural beams are manufactured from high-rigidity aluminium alloy for a strong yet lightweight arm that supports fast motion without deflection.

Open-Type Telescopic Arm

The open-frame telescopic design reduces overall height and allows faster entry and exit from the mould area — critical for short-cycle production.

Double-Stage Arm

Telescopic double-stage construction extends reach without increasing the robot footprint, maximizing working range on the shop floor.

Flexible End-of-Arm Tooling

Compatible with pneumatic grippers, vacuum cups, and custom tooling for diverse part geometries including thin-wall containers and preforms.

Automated Production Workflow

From mould opening to finished part placement, the robot handles repetitive tasks so operators can focus on quality and machine monitoring.

1

Mould Opens

Robot receives signal and enters the mould area on programmed path.

2

Part Removal

Gripper or vacuum tooling picks the finished part and any runner if required.

3

Place & Stack

Part is placed on conveyor, into a box, or stacked at a defined position.

4

Ready for Next Cycle

Robot returns to home position before the mould closes for the next shot.

FHS Series Technical Parameters

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3-axis servo robot for injection moulding?
A 3-axis servo robot is an automation device mounted on or beside an injection moulding machine that automatically removes finished parts from the mould after each cycle. It uses servo motors on the vertical, crosswise, and swing axes to pick parts and place them at a programmed location, reducing manual labour and improving production consistency.
What is the difference between Futech FSR and FHS robot series?
The FSR Series is Futech’s standard-range 3-axis servo robot designed for robust material handling with high payload capacity and a large working range. The FHS Series is optimized for high-speed applications with shorter take-out times (as low as 0.6 seconds) and is ideal for thin-wall products with mould cycles between 3 and 6 seconds.
What injection moulding machine tonnage do Futech robots support?
Futech offers 3-axis and 5-axis robots supporting injection moulding machines up to 1200 tons. Model selection depends on vertical stroke, crosswise reach, swing distance, and the weight of the part including end-of-arm tooling.
What is the fastest cycle time for Futech high-speed robots?
The FHS Series high-speed robot can achieve a minimum take-out time of 0.6 seconds, with overall cycle times as low as 2.8 seconds depending on the application, part geometry, and end-of-arm tooling configuration.
What products are best suited for the FHS high-speed robot?
The FHS Series is designed for products with short production cycles of 3 to 6 seconds, including disposable lunch boxes, knives and forks, thin-wall containers, caps and closures, PET preforms, IML packaging, and medical components.
Can Futech robots perform stacking and quality inspection?
Yes. Futech IMM robots can be programmed for part removal, placement on conveyors, precise stacking, and integration with downstream quality checking stations. Custom end-of-arm tooling and program sequences can be configured for specific layouts.
What construction features improve robot speed and accuracy?
Futech robots use high-speed linear guide rails, high-rigidity aluminium alloy beams, servo motor drives on all main axes, and an open-type telescopic double-stage arm design. These features combine to deliver fast, precise, and repeatable motion.
Does Futech offer 5-axis robots in addition to 3-axis models?
Yes. Futech offers both 3-axis and 5-axis robot configurations. The 5-axis system adds wrist rotation and flip capabilities for more complex part orientation, in-mould label placement, and advanced handling tasks. Contact our sales team for 5-axis specifications.
Why choose a Futech robot with a Futech injection moulding machine?
