Cartesian Robot
viper: Powerful and flexible to use
ENGEL has been building high-performance cartesian robots, also called gantry or linear robots, since 1980. Our viper robots are the perfect addition to your injection molding machine. The innovative and sturdy design offers increased payload capacity with low dead weight. The digital solutions from our inject 4.0 program ensure that all movements are aligned.

Thanks to the design with laser-welded steel profiles, the dead weight of the viper cartesian robots is low. At the same time, the stability is high. iQ vibration control ensures automatic compensation for vibration. The gantry robot is ideally suited for payloads from 6 to 120 kg.

Thanks to our integrated control concept, the linear robot can be operated directly from the CC300 machine controller. This guarantees a smooth interaction of the components. The exchange of signals is also used for the integration of other peripheral devices.

The movement of the cartesian robot should be perfectly coordinated to the motion sequences of the injection molding machine. This reduces the cycle time in many applications.
Our digital solution iQ motion control solves this challenge in the production of parts with a long core. These can be housing components, boxes, or containers.

Grippers by ENGEL take care of an efficient use of the linear robot. We offer both standard robot grippers for varied applications and custom designed grippers.

Vacuum suction cups are often used to remove components from the tool. The compressed air required to generate this vacuum is a very expensive medium. In order to keep the compressed air requirement as low as possible, all vacuum circuits of our linear robot viper are equipped with a vacuum saving circuit as standard.
