Automotive Injection Molding
Automation for Automotive Molded Parts

KEFAN supplies automotive injection molding automation configured around part geometry, mold layout, handling condition and downstream process.

Application Focus

Control the part from mold opening to the next operation

Automotive components vary widely in size, surface requirement and handling risk. The automation concept must start with the real part and process.

01

Part Take-Out

Top-entry servo robots remove parts with application-specific EOAT and controlled motion.

02

Insert Loading

Present and place inserts while coordinating confirmation signals with the molding machine.

03

Degating & Trimming

Route molded parts through runner separation, cutting or finishing operations.

04

Inspection

Check part presence, orientation or selected features before downstream release.

05

Cooling & Placement

Place parts in fixtures, conveyors or cooling stations without uncontrolled contact.

06

Cell Integration

Connect robots with fixtures, conveyors, inspection and assembly functions.

Engineering Inputs

What we need to review

A useful proposal depends on accurate application information rather than generic assumptions.

Part & MoldPart drawing, material, cavity arrangement and agreed pickup points.
Molding MachineMachine model, interface, mold opening stroke and available installation space.
Cycle & SequenceTarget cycle, take-out window and required downstream operations.
Quality ConditionSurface protection, deformation risk, orientation and release condition.

Robot and EOAT Selection

Match automation to automotive part requirements

Robot motion, payload and tooling should be selected from the complete handling sequence, not only the molding-machine tonnage.

01

Top-Entry Take-Out

Use top-entry injection molding robots for direct removal, runner handling and controlled transfer above the press.

02

Part Orientation

Consider 5-axis servo robots when the part must rotate, flip or align with a fixture or downstream process.

03

Custom EOAT

Design custom EOAT grippers around pickup points, surface protection, payload, sensors and insert-handling requirements.
