Sprue picker robots are an important equipment in various injection molding machines such as wide injection molding machines, vertical injection molding machines, etc. They are mainly used for sprues removal. Moreover, they have a solid construction to enable low vibration, fast movement, and precise removal. They are also easy and quick to install which allows fast transfer to various molds with minimal downtime.

Alfarobot offers sprue picker robots that come in different weight, cycle times, minimum pick-out, crosswise/vertical strokes, and other specifications. Our sprue picker robots can perform all basic functions with maximum accuracy and precise movements.

Sprue picker robots are controlled by servo motors. When the mold opens, their arm shoots between the 2 platens. Then, the arm starts to retract upward out of the mold area as the clamps hold the spur. Their arm will then swing out to a predetermined angle. The clamp then releases the sprue when the arm extends once again. In preparation for picking up the sprue, the arm retracts and straightens. This all happens in a short amount of time.
