A new product recently introduced by Star Automation Europe is the new robot model XW-1400VI, suitable for injection moulding machines ranging from 250 to 700 tons. This model represents the new XW-VI series, whose strength is the excellent performance in terms of speed, acceleration and payload. The new XW series, which was launched on a large scale at the end of past summer, includes 6 different models having different strokes and payloads. The new touch screen controller, STEC-520, available both with operative modes and with free programming, allow even easier programming.

The new XW series ensures superior speed and accelerations, maintaining the typical high payload, steadiness and precision. The “anti-vibration system”, available as a standard feature on all versions, makes this robot one of the fastest and most precise models on the market.

The manufacturer also focused its attention on energy saving, reducing energy consumption by using the latest servo-driven motors and by managing vacuum digitally. A number of smart functions allow the motors and the backlit pendant display to switch off while not in use. Also, speed and acceleration self-adjust for best performance based on the ideal moulding cycle.
