The DS1100 eliminates hand loading of injection-molding equipment and helps reduce repetitive motion. A seven-axis articulating robotic arm provides greater dexterity for unloading parts from trays to conveyors and reloading them. The product improves the over/under conveyor design that delivers parts to the machine and takes completed parts or empty trays from the machine. The product's primary function is feeding parts to assembly operations, but it also can be specified as a compact machine tool loader.
