Kawaguchi Injection Molding Machines

Star Automation helps manufacturers extend the productive life of Kawaguchi injection molding machines with compatible factory automation. Although Kawaguchi stopped producing injection molding machines for the U.S. market in 2011, many used presses remain active across North American facilities.

Available automation includes servo robots, sprue pickers, conveyors, pallet changers and modular end-of-arm tooling. Standard SPI 32-pin and 50-pin connections simplify integration on many systems, while Star Automation provides technical guidance, training, maintenance and repairs for installed equipment.

Sprue Pickers for Kawaguchi IMMs

XQ-V Series sprue pickers bring automatic sprue removal to Kawaguchi molding cells without requiring extensive floor space. Compact swing action moves runners away from the mold area while reducing repetitive operator tasks. Stored programs for up to 15 molds support repeat production, and quick release-side adjustments make changeovers easier across varied jobs.

Model	Vertical Stroke	Range of IMM	Crosswise Stroke
XQ-450V	450 mm	30-80 tons	75 mm
XQ-600V	600 mm	80-180 tons	75 mm
XQ-800V	800 mm	160-350 tons	100 mm

Conveyor Belt Systems for Kawaguchi IMMs

Conveyor systems add a consistent path for molded parts leaving Kawaguchi presses. Available models fit different cell footprints with two frame lengths and multiple belt widths for small components, larger molded products and varied output rates. Height and tilt adjustments support alignment with nearby equipment, while variable-speed and indexing controls help coordinate movement with each production cycle.

Model	Length	Belt Width	Conveyable Weight (Max)	Total Weight
SEC2000-3CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	11.8” / 300mm	110 lbs / 50 kg	90 lbs / 41 kg
SEC2000-4CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	15.8” / 400mm	110 lbs / 50 kg	97 lbs / 44 kg
SEC2000-5CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	19.7” / 500mm	121 lbs / 55 kg	103 lbs / 47 kg
SEC2000-6CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	23.6” / 600mm	121 lbs / 55 kg	110 lbs / 50 kg
SEC3000-3CCB	9’10” / 3000mm	11.8” / 300mm	110 lbs / 50 kg	103 lbs / 47 kg

SEC3000-6CCB	9’10” / 3000mm	23.6” / 600mm	132 lbs / 60 kg	128 lbs / 58 kg

Pallet Changer Systems for Kawaguchi IMMs

Pallet changers automate the exchange of loaded and empty containers near Kawaguchi molding cells. Faster exchanges reduce manual transport work and help finished parts continue moving without extended pauses. Three available configurations provide different replacement periods and load capacities for varied production needs.

Model	Container Replacement Period	Loading Weight (Max)	Stacking Weight (Max)
Pallet Changer I/M	11 seconds	7 kg	70 kg
Pallet Changer IP/IM	20 seconds	15 kg	70 kg
Pallet Changer C	4 seconds	7 kg	50 kg

End of Arm Tooling (E.O.A.T.) for Kawaguchi IMMs

Eins end-of-arm tooling gives manufacturers a flexible way to adapt Kawaguchi robot systems around specific molded parts. Modular components support gripping, suction, cutting, sensing and quick-change functions across custom tooling assemblies. In-house tooling construction can simplify future modifications while reducing lead times for replacement components.
