Topstar T1 Cartesian robot officially launched | Three metrics to watch when selecting for precision injection molding part removal

Topstar has launched the T1 Cartesian robot, aimed at precision injection molding part removal scenarios. The T1 reaches a maximum instantaneous speed of 3 m/s, cuts in-mold time from 1.4 s to 0.99 s, and reduces the full cycle from 6 s to 5 s, a 20% efficiency gain; it achieves repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm, is equipped with a 23-bit absolute encoder, and has a maximum payload of 7 kg. A high-rigidity aluminum alloy body paired with a self-lubricating system lets the slider assembly go up to 65 days without lubrication maintenance, and the absolute encoder supports position memory after power loss.
