in every design appropriate to their type, even if they have large volume or are difficult or intricate. Even in an extended state, they retain their enormous rigidity and can be manipulated at high speeds. Through careful product handling and precise post-mold processing of components, a higher and, above all, uniform component quality is achieved. Multi-talented, with six axes With their reach, payload and kinematics (six axes move freely in space), industrial robots solve various tasks effortlessly. Even expansion of technologies or basic change to production steps in a system are no problem when considering the reach and payload. Even when used in technical clean rooms, industrial robots are optimally suited due to their design. Only a small clean room is needed. This reduces the maintenance and operating costs. Say, for example, six axes are not sufficient, as with large machines up to approximately 4,000 tons. Then we connect additional linear axes on which the industrial robots can drive to the injection molding machine. What if there is only little space around the injection molding machine? Then we simply suspend our industrial robots from the ceiling.

Customer-specific system solutions We know how the articulated arm kinematics can best be used, and we develop the best possible solution for you. The payload is less critical and the reach is more important when selecting the robot devices. Hundreds of successfully created applications make us specialists in integration and after-sales service for industrial robots. This expertise will pay off for your company. Cost-effective investment As the master of the injection molding process, the injection molding machine determines the cycle time. This means that highly economic performance depends on the efficient use of non-productive time. Industrial robots help here: Their special kinematics are used for deflashing, flame treatment, mounting and much more. Their high productivity leads to increased cost-effectiveness: Downtime goes down to around zero, and higher output reduces manufacturing costs. This means: Higher robot investment costs can be quickly amortized through better use of downtime. In addition, complex, elaborate grippers are replaced by using robot kinematics.

Assembly and installation We have the optimal solution for your production
KraussMaffei provides you with four basic options to integrate the industrial robots of the IR series perfectly into your specific production situation.
For limited space situations: The wall-mounted version The wall-mounted (W) version is the optimal solution if only very limited room is available in your production space or if the space below the demolding position is needed for other processes. It is, for example, conceivable to install an additional packaging apparatus, securely and compactly housed in the area below the demolding position, which can have a different design depending on the article. This option for the integration of the Industrial robots in the IR series from KraussMaffei gives you a further critical advantage. The cycle time is significantly reduced by the special sequence of movements (swinging in from the side). When peripherals must be integrated: The floor-mounted version The floor-mounted (F) version is the classic among all the various assembly options provided by the Industrial robots in the IR series from KraussMaffei. They are especially characterized by the industrial robot's large horizontal working radius. This makes it possible to integrate elaborate peripherals, such as additional installation or inspection stations. The enormous flexibility of the industrial robot can in this case be used optimally. A further bonus point is that this version can then also be used with excellent results if a laminar flow box is installed above the machine for cleanroom applications.
Space-saving production cell: The shelf-mounted version Our shelf-mounted (S) version industrial robot is usually installed on the fixed (mold) platen of the injection molding machine. This solution is primarily used for large machines with over 650 tons clamping force and high-volume components. Industrial robots are also installed on machines with limited access to the mold, as in the case of side-mounted mold change carriages that have dimensions that exceed the clearance between the tie bars.
The solution for complex take-out automation: Integration into the injection molding machine The integrated (I) version is the optimal alternative if only a small machine installation space is available, yet at the same time a complex demolding process is involved. Both of these requirements are fulfilled ideally with the integrated version, in which the machine's protective housing is expanded and the industrial robot is mechanically integrated.
Cleanroom applications can, in this manner, be realized both easily and cost-effectively. An additional advantage for you: The commissioning time is shortened to a minimum after preinspection by KraussMaffei.
Your advantages: Optimum use of existing available space Integration peripherals Reduction of cycle time Implementation of cleanroom applications

Technical and economical advantages are included And easy for you to use
The IR series from KraussMaffei provides you with various advantages. A simple operating and control concept and a uniform interface and CE conformity.
Simple operation and control concept Industrial robots are highly complex. With our intelligent operation and control concepts, however, this is not a problem. The user-friendly "5-button operation concept" can be applied directly with the robot handheld remote or on the panel of the injection molding machine. The robot can be activated by pressing the "Operation with robot" button. With the "Setting" button, you can select the "Automatic" or "Setting" mode of operation. Pressing the "Home position" button causes the robot to drive to a defined starting position. The "Automatic start" button starts the selected program or continues it from "Line" if it has been stopped. With the "Stop" button, the current program is stopped and can subsequently be restarted with the "Automatic" or "Home position" button. In this way, the system operator is professionally guided and supported during tasks such as changing the article, configuring programs and carrying out diagnostics with our flexible operating and control concept. Basic concept or high-end concept Depending on the complexity of the application, two control concepts are available for selection: the basic concept and the high-end concept. Simple peripherals are integrated with the basic concept. These consist of the handheld pendant with the KraussMaffei manufacturer's interface. If multiple different robots and complex peripherals must be integrated, the high-end concept is the right solution. Advantages of this spacesaving control concept include the robotindependent control system, the uniform user interface and the easily expandable, technology-dependent user interface, among others. Cleanliness included All drives and guides are enclosed in the robots. The result is a reliable, clean product area without danger of contamination to the components. This makes the devices of the IR series also ideal for use in cleanrooms for which a low particle load is mandatory. Proven energy and signal routing for grippers Inputs, outputs, monitoring functions and valves are required for the demolding, loading or assembly gripper control system. KraussMaffei provides you with various solution concepts: The attachment unit and the gripper interface module. An attachment unit can be used as the central supply for the valves and signals for grippers or peripherals. It can be implemented on every robot size, because it is built on the third axis. It is supplied by a fieldbus cable and a compressed air line. A gripper interface module can take over the functions of the attachment unit in large robots. A small hose package leads to the gripper and the singularity of the robot can be bypassed. The options for the industrial robot can be expanded with the integrated demolding stroke and the larger reach of the robot. Safe home traverse at the press of a button In automatic mode, we enable you to carry out the home traverse at the press of a button. In principle, there is a high danger of collision from the industrial robot's special kinematics. When the system is at a standstill, manual maneuvering poses the danger of collision. This must only be done by trained personnel. With our standard programming, Industrial robots in the IR series can be driven into the safe home position by a simple press of a button on the control panel. Programmable safety technology With our simple-to-expand and programmable safety technology, you remain flexible in the future as well. You can react individually to later changes or expansions of your automation cell. Uniform interface With the EPS connector, you have a uniform interface for grippers and peripherals. The pneumatic and electric supply for the components is guaranteed by this connector. It has a compact design and is available in various equipment variants. You profit additionally from fault prevention (poka yoke principle) and time savings. CE conformity Your safety is important to us. That is why our customers who buy complete systems get CE conformity. As early as the quotation phase, all systems will be designed to be safety-compliant according to the applicable directives. Your advantages: Great flexibility Simple operating concept More operating comfort with the complete control stand Economical, turnkey systems Integration of peripherals is possible at any time Easy-to-expand safety technology Exemplary energy and signal routing Home traverse at the press of a button CE conformity, free of charge
