Milacron will demonstrate the Roboshot ALPHA‑S110iB, an all‑electric injection molding machine optimized for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) applications in automotive, electrical, and medical markets.

Key capabilities include:

  • Compact design for efficient floor‑space usage
  • Proven LSR package with +25-years of experience.
  • Flexible injection range (11–171g) and 8mm micro plunger system capable of 0.0005 cc volume accuracy.
  • CNC‑based controls for high‑precision molding down to 0.0003” accuracy and repeatability.
  • Machine Learning AI for mold protection and eject
  • Predictive maintenance and AI technology to monitor various areas of the machine.
  • OPC‑UA connectivity for auxiliary integration and MES communication
  • LINKi2 IoT solutions for smart manufacturing insights

The work cell will produce a medical membrane part, leveraging a 28mm LSR injection package for ultra‑precise dosing—ideal for cleanroom environments. Communications to the Elemet dosing unit, water control and using smart water manifold system provides a system solution.

Collaborating Partners:

  • Sepro Group: Success 22, 5‑axis robotic system with part cavitation separation.
  • Elmet Smart Silicone Solutions: TOP 700 LSR dosing unit, SMARTSHOT molds, mini cold runner, EOAT.
  • Keyence: VS Series smart camera with AI for mold qualification and part validation.
  • Elkem: SILBIONE™ 4360 LSR for short‑term healthcare applications.

FANUC-Milacron Roboshot showcases four decades of collaboration in plastics processing

A culmination of a partnership spanning more than four decades with FANUC Corporation, the Roboshot is Milacron’s most versatile and precise all-electric machine. The platform features the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) with mold and eject protection and injection molding preventative maintenance features that keep plastics processors running smoothly.

With its 100% electric design, there is no oil, filtration, and disposal to worry about. Roboshot is designed to reduce energy consumption by 50 to 80% while maintaining repeatable and precise cycles that are 5 to 50% faster than hydraulic machines.

Engineered for greater rigidity, Roboshot’s proven performance makes it the perfect solution for cleanrooms and other environments that demand precise process control, high-speed injection, and consistent repeatability.
