Productivity Enhancements
46% Better Flexural Rigidity Than Previous Model, and 13% Reduction in Vibration Amplitude YD series robots utilize parts constructed of CFRPv3(*) and gained 46% improvement in flexural rigidity as well as a 13% reduction in single-arm vibration amplitude, compared to previous models. Stable operation with less vibration helps raise productivity by preventing scratches or damage to products during take-out, and reducing the occurrence of take-out failures. (*): Third generation Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer that outperforms the CFRP used in previous YC series robots.Teaching Enhancements
- Cycle-Up function (PAT.P) - This feature displays required times per robot operation in a step-by-step list. This aid helps operators identify and target areas of the sequence to achieve shorter overall cycle times and raise productivity.
- Manual Torque Monitor - Displays a torque gauge for each axis during robot teaching, to show operator how much load the robot bears in motion. This aid allows operators to observe slight fluctuations in torque and fine-tune difficult-to-teach programs, like for insert molding.
- All-axis Manual Operation screen - Operators can see and control all axes on just a single screen, enhancing operability.
- Highly Operable E-touch Compact3 - The E-touch compact3 takes the easy operability of the previous YC series controller and adds several assist features to become even easier to use.
Downtime-Preventing Enhancements
The robot automatically monitors vacuum pressure during take-out operations to identify patterns and assist in finding causes of take-out failures. Each vacuum circuit is monitored individually to more quickly find abnormal circuits. The robot records the frequency of take-out failures, so operators can more easily recognize when maintenance is needed, or more easily find causes after trouble occurs. Diagnosis results are displayed on the Take-Out Failure Details screen, where operators can see vacuum pressure values and bad take-out patterns that have occurred. -

Why is a several hundred kilogram robot needed to pick a molded part of just a few grams?
To answer this question, Yushin sought an application-specific robot through its Optimum Design approach. Design Optimization is what Yushin calls its use of CAE (Computer—Aided Engineering) to determine the theoretically best configuration of a robot based on its mechanisms and movements, rather than relying solely on designer experience. This approach has been used in recent years to make aircraft and automobiles lighter and more reliable. Curiously enough, we have often been amazed by how closely optimized designs resemble trees and animals in the natural world. Designed to deliver speeds and safety unachievable with predecessor models, we are confident that the HSA series will usher in a new era in take-out robots. The HSA incorporates Design Optimization for higher speed and rigidity with less weight. With take-out times as fast as 0.32 sec proven during live molding, the HSA is 13% lighter and 11% faster than previous models (measurements are relative to previous comparable model). -
Improved productivity via high speed + vibration control
HST robots bring to the table the tools and means for improving productivity in the form of high-speed operation and thorough vibration controls. Higher speeds have been achieved by employing Optimum Design approach to reduce the mass of moving parts, while the enhanced vibration dampening of the CFRP arm combines with anti-vibration measures to shorten settling time. Optimum Design Joint research with Kyoto University Optimum Design is what Yushin calls its use of CAE (Computer—Aided Engineering) to determine the theoretically best configuration of a robot based on its mechanisms and movements. This approach has been used in recent years to make aircraft and automobiles lighter and more reliable. Through joint research conducted with Kyoto University, Yushin first tested and applied CAE to an EOAT. Following the good results, this Optimum Design approach was employed with take-out robots of the HSA, TSXA, YC and HST series. Winner of the JSME Technology Award Great reviews in engineering circles In 2011, Yushin was honored with the prestigious Technology Award of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) for “developing high-performance take-out robots for molding machines by structural optimization”. -
Robots that have the future interests of the molding industry in mind
It used to be a dream that vast numbers of people could use the same product and similarly enjoy the same benefits. Then, plastic engineering miraculously made that happen. Since the advent of injection molding, industry has incessantly pursued better products of better quality at a faster clip. The merits of injection molding have been amplified by the take-out robot. But, molding plants have never been without issues – highly complicated products, small lot wide variety production, labor shortages and inherent dangers of the workplace -- to name a few. Yushin’s purpose is to make robots that help solve these issues. Moreover, Yushin goes another step further by making robots that have the future interests of the molding industry in mind. That mindset spawned the FRA series.Compliant with the most stringent international safety regulations as a standard feature
