Project Description
YD:
Standard Take-out Robots
Optimum design robots YD series
Optimally designed through 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. Yushin applied this approach to reduce the weight and control the vibrations of the YC series. As a result, power consumption and settling time have been respectively reduced by 26% and 72%, which puts users in position to improve their productivity.
Features
72% shorter settling time than predecessor robots
With the YD series, Optimum Design, CFRP and anti-vibration controls combine to shorten settling time (time required for vibrations to fall below a desired level) by 72%, which naturally shortens the full molding cycle.
Predictive maintenance system and other new useful features for molding plants
The E-Touch Compact-YD is an easy-to-operate controller that can be carried in one hand. It incorporates a 7.5-inch full color touch panel of high visibility and a predictive maintenance system that displays warning messages if conditions that can develop into trouble are detected.
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”.
Air consumption reduced by 75% *1
In 2012, Yushin’s YD series of take-out robots for injection molding machine was recognized by the Japan Machinery Federation (JMF) with the JMF President’s Award at their Energy Efficient Machine Awards for the air consumption and weight reductions achieved through Optimum Design.
