Injection Molding Robot Automation Case Studies
Multi-Site Injection Molding Automation | From First Cells to 230 Robots
Large-scale plastics manufacturing
What is written here is only a part of the picture. We can only describe the accounts that permitted it — there are more plants running our robots that we cannot name, most of them contract manufacturers who would rather their competitors did not know which lines they have automated.
The largest account we can talk about runs 230 KEFAN robots. Another runs more than 200 across several lines at once. One is a publicly listed appliance manufacturer. That is the scale of the work behind these pages.
What the numbers look like
- 230 robots — one injection molding plant, take-out and single-machine cells
- 200+ robots — a plastics manufacturer running several lines at the same time
- 180+ robots — a production group with plants in more than one location
- 100 robots — a publicly listed appliance manufacturer
Why the repeat orders matter more than the total
Nobody buys two hundred robots on a first order. The first order is four or five cells. What tells you whether a robot is any good is whether the same customer comes back the next year, and the year after that. Every figure above is an account that kept adding lines.
Running that many units in one region also means local spare-parts stock and people who can get to the plant. That is easy to promise and hard to fake.
Standardisation is the reason it holds together
When a customer runs a hundred or more units, they settle on a small number of models so that spares, training and maintenance stay interchangeable. That is why our 3-axis and 5-axis ranges stay deliberately narrow instead of covering every size.
What we do not publish
No customer names. No per-machine clamping force, mold dimensions, cycle-time baselines, acceptance documents or ROI figures. Those belong to the customer, not to our marketing.
If you need to speak with a reference, we can usually arrange it for a qualified project, with that customer’s permission.
Planning something similar
Send us your machine list (brand, model, clamping force), part weight and material, mold layout, target cycle time and what happens downstream. We will map the plan model by model and quote per cell.
