For maximum flexibility the arm can be easily adjusted to
release runner/parts at the operator or the rear side of
the machine. The swing angle can be freely adjusted
between 60 to 90 degrees through a positive, but
easily adjusted location fitting on the cylinder-driven
oscillating arm. The manual clamp system on the
Phoenix Series of robots allows them to swing
clear of the mold area in seconds without the
use of any tools. The built-in ratchet mechanism,
which controls motion of the robot arm out of the
mold area, enables easy mold changes or
maintenance.
Fast, responsive and reliable pneumatic control units are integrated 90° WRIST
at the side of the robot. Moving speeds on all axes are fully STANDARD
adjustable. The main arm safety lock prevents the arm from
descending in the event of loss of air pressure. The sprue is
monitored by a sensor contained inside the gripper assembly. The WIDE GRIPPER
vacuum generator and freely adaptable end-of-arm suction tooling STANDARD
are supplied as standard accessories.

The Phoenix Series utilizes a microprocessor control system which
includes an easy to operate hand-held pendant controller. The
controller features a large LCD display and adjustable digital timers
and counters providing simple programming for repeatable
operations.

The Phoenix Series Swing-Arm Robots utilize the industry SWIVEL
BASE
standard of Euromap12/SPI robot interface, thus allowing the unit RELEASE
to be easily moved from one machine to another.
