New plug-and-play machine tending cart enhances productivity and safety with seamless integration with IMMs via the Euromap 67 standard, offering manufacturers a fast track to collaborative automation.

Stäubli Robotics announces the launch of the MTC-900 Machine Tending Cart, a next-generation plug-and-play automation solution engineered to enhance productivity, safety and flexibility across a wide range of industrial applications.

Designed for high-demand environments such as metalworking, plastic injection molding, and precision assembly, the MTC-900 offers manufacturers a fast-track to collaborative automation. Its seamless integration with Injection Molding Machines (IMMs) via the Euromap 67 standard enables plug-and-play connectivity, reducing setup time and simplifying deployment in molding operations.

"The MTC-900 is a game-changer for facilities looking to automate machine tending without the complexity," said Chris Clark, North America Division Director for Robotics. "Its compatibility with IMM protocols and compact design make it ideal for injection molding environments where uptime and safety are paramount."

Key features and benefits include:

Plug-and-play deployment for rapid implementation across production lines
IMM-ready integration using Euromap 67 for plastic injection molding applications
Multi-model compatibility with Stäubli TX2-60 and TX2-60L robots
Compact footprint optimized for confined workspaces
Advanced interface support including EtherCat, ProfiNet, and Ethernet IP
Built-in laser scanning for enhanced safety and compliance
Modular design for easy reconfiguration and scalability
The MTC-900 is built to support continuous operation in harsh industrial settings, offering a robust and flexible solution for manufacturers seeking to improve throughput without compromising safety. Its modular architecture allows for quick adaptation to changing production needs, while its advanced communication protocols ensure seamless integration with existing systems.
