KCS Plastics in Lilydale integrates an advanced Alfa Redstone robot from BES Machinery Sales to enhance automation, accuracy, and moulding efficiency.
At KCS Plastics Lilydale, production has leapt forward with the installation of the Alfa Redstone robot from BES Machinery Sales. This advanced automation system brings precision handling and faster cycle performance to their injection moulding line, improving quality control and efficiency across every stage of production. It’s a clear example of how robotic automation in plastics manufacturing is reshaping Australian facilities for smarter, more consistent output.
Precision Automation with the Alfa Redstone Robot
The Alfa Redstone robot system is built for high-speed precision and dependable automation in modern moulding environments. Engineered with a full-servo traverse beam and robust linear slide design, it delivers accurate, repeatable part removal for injection moulding robot installation across a wide range of machine sizes.
Key features include:
• Full servo-driven traverse beam for precise, high-speed movement
• ±0.1 mm repeat precision for consistent part handling
• take-out time of 1.2 seconds and dry cycle time as fast as 4.5 seconds
• Three-axis or five-axis servo configurations for varied production needs
• Optional EOAT quick-change system to reduce downtime
• Integrated photoelectric inspection and tricolour light monitoring for operational visibility
Installation at KCS Plastics
The Alfa Redstone Robot was installed at KCS Plastics Lilydale as part of the company’s continued investment in automation technology. The BES Machinery Sales technical team completed a seamless integration solution with KCS’s existing moulding systems, ensuring the robot’s cycle functions were precisely calibrated to match production output. Following installation, the facility achieved greater accuracy in product handling, faster and more consistent cycles, reduced manual involvement, and improved safety visibility through tricolour status indicators.
Redstone Robot Performance in Modern Production Environments
For manufacturers looking to upgrade automation solutions without sacrificing reliability, the Alfa Redstone robot delivers performance proven in industrial environments. With its durable aluminium alloy frame, smooth linear guides, and optional auto-lubrication, it offers exceptional longevity and efficiency in continuous operation.
• Advantages for production facilities:
• Reduced labour costs through robotic take-out automation
• Longer service life with low noise and minimal vibration
• Compatibility with diverse moulding systems (EUROMAP 12 or 67 interface)
• Easy operation via 7-inch touchscreen controller and USB data transfer
