Injection Molding Automation for Every IndustryFactory Automation for IMMs
Plastic injection molding allows manufacturers to produce consistent parts at high volumes while controlling material costs. Star Automation takes the process further with servo-driven robots, sprue pickers, conveyors, pallet changers and Eins end-of-arm tooling designed to reduce manual handling and improve production flow.
Our automation systems support manufacturers across automotive, food and beverage, electronics, pharmaceutical, consumer product, construction and telecommunications markets. Each solution can be configured around your IMM, part geometry and production requirements.
Auto Industry Injection Molding Automation Company
Automotive manufacturers rely on injection molding automation to produce interior, exterior and under-the-hood components with repeatable quality. Star Automation robots help reduce cycle times, lower labor demands and improve cost per part across high-volume production environments.
Common automotive parts include:
Food & Beverage Manufacturing Automation
Injection molding plays a major role in producing food-safe containers, bottles, caps and packaging components. Star Automation robots integrate with low-tonnage and high-speed IMMs to support cleaner part handling, consistent cycles and reduced repetitive labor.
Common food and beverage products include:
Robotic Automation for Electronics Manufacturing
Electronics manufacturers use molded plastic parts for housings, controls, insulation and protective components. Star Automation robotics help increase output while maintaining precise handling for small, detailed or delicate parts.
Common electronics components include:
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Automation
Medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers require consistent processes, careful part handling and dependable production equipment. Star Automation injection molding robots help improve throughput for precision plastic components used in laboratories, clinical settings and diagnostic equipment.
Common medical and pharmaceutical products include:
Consumer Product Manufacturing Automation
Consumer products often depend on molded plastic parts produced at high volumes. Star Automation helps manufacturers automate part removal, transfer and downstream handling for improved consistency and lower production costs.
Common consumer products include:
Construction Material Manufacturing Automation
The construction industry uses molded plastics for durable, lightweight and corrosion-resistant building products. Star Automation robots help manufacturers handle large parts, small fittings and repeat production runs with less manual intervention.
Common construction products include:
Telecommunications
Telecommunications equipment depends on molded plastic parts for protection, insulation and connectivity. Star Automation systems help manufacturers produce consistent components for communication devices, wiring systems and network infrastructure.
Common telecommunications products include:
Benefits of IMM Factory Automation
Factory automation reduces repetitive labor, improves process consistency and helps injection molders increase output without sacrificing part quality. Star Automation equipment supports efficient production from part removal through palletizing.
Key benefits include:
- Lower Operating Costs: Automated cells reduce manual labor demands and make better use of production floor space.
- Increased Uptime: Robots can operate continuously across multiple shifts without scheduled breaks.
- Consistent Results: Repeatable movements improve part handling and reduce process variation.
- Predictable Production: Controlled cycle times help managers forecast output more accurately.
- Reduced Manual Handling: Automated part removal and transfer limit repetitive tasks for employees.
- Improved Part Quality: Precise movements reduce drops, surface damage and handling errors.
Why Star Automation?
Custom Automation Solutions
Star Automation representatives work with manufacturers to develop systems around specific machines, parts and production goals. Ultralarge servo robots can remove automotive panels and other oversized components from IMMs ranging from 1,500 to 5,000 tons, while smaller models serve low-tonnage machines producing compact parts.
Operational Training Programs
Our team provides on-site operator training following installation and offers additional instruction for new employees, system updates and advanced operating needs. Classroom-style programs are also available at select Star Automation locations.
Over 50 Years of Global Experience
Star Seiki Co., Ltd., the parent company of Star Automation, began operations in Japan in 1964. Today, its international network spans Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Oceania, giving manufacturers access to regional sales, training and technical service.
