Advantages of Side-Entry Technology
Applications
The Dal Maschio Speedy and Snap Series are high-speed Cartesian robot systems positioned beside the injection-moulding machine and entering/exiting the mould from the side. Side-entry architecture provides major advantages in production applications requiring short cycle times, limited overhead space and rapid part removal.
Main entry/exit and external stacking movements are performed by servo-controlled axes, while part-removal movements can be managed by pneumatic or electric systems depending on the application. The Speedy series focuses on compact, fast part-removal applications, while the Snap Tank family focuses particularly on IML and advanced packaging automation.
Speedy SE is a compact side-entry robot mounted on the fixed platen of the injection-moulding machine. It combines high motion speed with a small footprint, providing an effective automation solution for fast-cycle injection applications.
The main motion axes and external vertical stacking axes are servo-controlled. Robot heads that remove parts from the mould operate pneumatically.

- Z Axis: 200 mm
- Y Axis: 500 mm
- Maximum Payload: 3 kg
- Cycle Time: 4 seconds
- Machine Capacity: injection-moulding machines below 599 tonnes
- Compact design with low space requirement
- Suitable for fast part-removal and stacking applications
Snap Tank is a high-speed side-entry robot developed especially for IML (In-Mold Labeling) applications. Its robust frame and low centre of gravity provide high stability, precision and fast motion performance.
The robot includes systems that allow easy adjustment of mould depth and working height relative to the machine axis. Easy changeover between the stacking unit and label magazine increases production flexibility in plants with frequent mould and product changes.

- Z Axis: 120 / 400 mm
- Y Axis: 500 mm
- Maximum Payload: 35 kg
- Cycle Time: 3 seconds
- Machine Capacity: injection-moulding machines below 650 tonnes
- Architecture optimised for IML applications
- High stability and precise positioning
- Easy mould-depth and working-height adjustment
- Fast changeover between label magazine and stacking unit
Snap Tank SX is an advanced side-entry robot developed to provide high speed and production flexibility in IML applications.
The system is equipped with 9 electric axes. This configuration enables fast and flexible changeovers between different production types, such as conical and flat labels. The new M9 control system and user-friendly operator panel help improve robot performance and process management.
