K 2025: WITTMANN's new size robot to be shown
WITTMANN will show its new Primus 118 linear robot at K 2025, extending the range of application of Primus linear robots for injection molding machines of up to 250 tons.

Primus 118 linear robot.
Previously, Primus robots offer maximum load capacity in the same size range was five kilograms, the new size 118 offers a choice of load capacities between six and eight kilograms.
The high performance of Primus 118 linear robot is based on a new design with stronger demolding and vertical axes as well as more powerful drive systems. The robot offers up to ten valve slots and thus various combinations of gripper and vacuum circuits. Up to eight vacuum circuits are possible.
The new Primus 118 can be flexibly installed on different models and sizes of injection molding machines of up to 250 tons in clamping force. Since the drilling pattern in the main beam has not been changed compared to earlier series, the Primus 118 can be mounted easily on existing equipment.
The Primus series of linear robots offers a reliable and efficient solution for all pick-and-place applications, as well as for use in simple automation cells. The robots are equipped with the SmartRemoval function as standard to reduce removal time and thus the overall cycle time.
The Primus 118 operates with the proven R9 robot control system from WITTMANN. This system includes in its standard version an OPC UA interface to exchange data with an MES and to be able to edit and save programs on a computer. The R9 supports users right from the programming stage.
The QuickNew Wizard guides even users with no prior knowledge safely and quickly through the programming process.
