5-Axis Cartesian Robot Guide

Yushin's Cartesian robot lineup covers payloads from under 1 kg for sprue-only pickers like the HOP Five, through 2–15 kg for the FRA Series, up to 50 kg for the MKA-2000S heavy-duty robot. This range serves everything from small multi-cavity cells to large automotive part extraction on 3000+ tf machines.

The MKA-2000S Large Take-out Robot is purpose-built for automotive applications on IMMs rated 1500 tf and above. With a 50 kg payload, 3000 mm vertical stroke, and a 5000 mm adjustable traverse beam, it handles bumper fascias, instrument-panel substrates, door panels, and tailgate skins with 17% faster take-out times than previous large models.

Yes. The SX-41 High-Speed Side-Entry Robot is configurable for ISO Class 7 and Class 8 clean rooms. It features sealed bearings, FDA-grade lubricants, and a minimal-particulate motion profile, making it the standard choice for medical disposables, pharma packaging, optical molding, and electronics micro-molding cells.

High-end models like the FRA Series support DeviceNet, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP protocols, plus PNP/NPN I/O compatibility. This enables seamless integration with downstream equipment including gate cutters, vision stations, assembly cells, and palletizers within a unified injection molding automation cell.

Top-entry traverse robots (FRA Series, MKA-2000S) enter the mold vertically from above and are best for standard horizontal IMMs with open overhead space. Side-entry robots (SXC, TSXA, SX-41) approach the mold horizontally and are preferred for low-ceiling cells, in-mold labeling operations, thin-wall packaging, and applications where top-entry mounting is not feasible.

Yes. The FRA Series includes INTU LINE IoT service as a standard feature, providing real-time cycle monitoring, uptime tracking, error logging, and remote troubleshooting. Combined with predictive maintenance on the MKA-2000S and downstream integration capabilities, Yushin robots are fully capable of supporting unmanned lights-out manufacturing facilities.
