The High-Speed Side Entry Robot
A side entry robot is designed to automate part removal in high-speed injection molding operations, helping manufacturers improve production efficiency, optimize workspace, and reduce repetitive manual handling.
Foshan Samfacc Robot Co., Ltd. is one of the experienced side entry robots suppliers, providing injection molding automation equipment designed to meet different machine configurations, factory layouts, and production requirements.
The SAMFACC side entry robot features a 3-axis servo motor system and a dual-arm structure for fast, accurate part extraction and placement. Its compact, low-inertia design supports rapid acceleration and stable movement, making it particularly suitable for factories with limited overhead clearance where conventional top-entry robots may not be practical.
Designed to work with compatible high speed injection molding machines, this injection moulding robot helps streamline part handling and coordinate automated extraction with the molding cycle. Depending on the model and operating conditions, the robot can achieve cycle times of approximately 2.8–6 seconds, with a fetching time of around 0.5 seconds for applicable configurations.

Advantages of the SAMFACC Side Entry Robot
The 3-axis servo system and dual-arm structure enable fast part extraction and placement, helping reduce handling time. When integrated with a compatible high speed injection molding machine, the robot supports a coordinated workflow that can improve overall production throughput.
The side-entry configuration allows the robot to operate in factories with limited overhead clearance, offering an alternative to conventional top-entry robots. Its compact structure also helps manufacturers make better use of available installation space.
Servo-driven movement supports accurate positioning and repeatable part handling, helping reduce the risk of damage during extraction. Combined with stable molding conditions, automated handling can contribute to more consistent production quality.
By automating repetitive part removal, the injection moulding robot reduces the need for manual handling and helps maintain a smoother production workflow. Operators can then focus more on equipment monitoring, quality checks, and other production tasks.
Lightweight structural components and precision-machined parts support responsive movement and reliable operation. Meanwhile, a properly configured injection molding machine and coordinated automation system can help reduce avoidable production interruptions and improve resource utilization.
The robot can be configured for compatible injection molding machines according to mold layout, product dimensions, handling requirements, and available workspace. This flexibility helps manufacturers select equipment that suits their production processes.
Applications of the SAMFACC Side Entry Robot
The SAMFACC side entry robot is suitable for injection molding environments that require efficient part extraction, precise handling, and effective use of factory space. When paired with a compatible high-speed molding machine, it can support a variety of plastic manufacturing applications.
As an experienced supplier of injection molding automation equipment, SAMFACC provides side entry robot solutions for different machine layouts and production needs. Contact SAMFACC to discuss suitable configurations, technical specifications, and integration requirements for your application.
High-Volume Plastic Production
Fast robot movements and coordinated molding cycles help streamline repetitive production tasks, making the system suitable for manufacturing lines with high output requirements.
Factories with Limited Overhead Clearance
The side-entry structure is particularly useful in facilities where low ceilings or restricted vertical space make conventional top-entry robots difficult to install.
Precision-Molded Components
Servo-controlled part extraction helps minimize unnecessary impact during handling. When combined with consistent molding parameters, this can support reliable handling and product quality.
Automated Plastic Manufacturing Lines
Integrating an injection moulding robot with a compatible molding machine helps coordinate part removal with production cycles, improving workflow consistency and reducing reliance on manual operations.
FAQ
A robot side entry is employed to make the process of part removal more automated in the injection molding manufacturing process. The side entry nature of the robot is especially beneficial when working with plants that lack adequate headroom.
Machine layout, mold size, weight of the part, reach requirement, and cycle time of production are some other parameters to keep in mind. Getting these confirmed from the manufacturer can help you ensure that your robot fulfills all your production needs.
The cycle time is determined by factors such as the type of robot used, distance of travel, weight of the product, among other factors. SAMFACC side entry robots have the ability to attain a cycle time of 2.8 seconds. The buyers should ascertain the cycle time of the robot.
Yes. In fact, this is precisely the type of robot that has been designed to enter an injection molding machine via its side, rather than using the standard top entry approach.
One should go for suppliers who can offer the proper robot configuration and technical specifications. One should check the payload, cycle time, compatibility, delivery schedule, and after-sales service before making the order.
