Sprue Picker Robot

The Seaways APSP-650 sprue picker robot is a simple, cost-effective way to automate product and sprue removal on horizontal injection moulding machines from 30T to 150T. This sprue picker robot uses a single vertical arm, with up/down, drawing, and spinning movements all powered by air pressure, giving it fast, efficient cycles without the cost or complexity of a full robotic arm system. With a dry take-out time of just 1.6 seconds and a dry cycle time of 5.5 seconds, it fits neatly into existing moulding cycles, handling loads up to 2 kg with a vertical stroke of 650 mm and a crosswise stroke of 120 mm. It’s a practical automation upgrade for moulding shops that want faster changeovers without redesigning their whole production line.

Adding a sprue picker robot to your moulding setup can boost productivity by 10-30%, while also reducing defect rates, improving operator safety, and cutting down on labour requirements around the machine. Precise output control also helps minimise material waste, since parts and sprues are removed consistently every cycle. The unit runs on a single-phase power supply and compressed air, and it synchronises with your injection moulding machine’s PLC through simple mould-open and safety-door output signals, plus mould-close and ejector-forward input signals, making integration straightforward for most existing setups. As a direct manufacturer based in Rajkot, Gujarat, Seaways Machinery prices the sprue picker robot from ₹110,000, backed by a technical brochure, spare parts availability, and pan-India delivery and after-sales support.
