Used Yushin Plastics Robots & Automation for Sale

Yushin Precision Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in Kyoto, Japan in 1973 and sold its first take-out robot in 1978. From the outset the company focused exclusively on automation for the plastics molding industry, a deliberate niche strategy that allowed it to develop deep expertise in high-speed Cartesian robot design. Through joint research with Kyoto University and the pioneering application of servo motor drives and computer-aided structural optimization, Yushin grew into one of the largest suppliers of injection molding robots in the world, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 6482.

Yushin's core product line is its range of servo-driven take-out robots, organized into several well-known series. The YC and YCII series are all-axis servo robots covering presses from roughly 80 tons up to 1,600 tons, with the YCII-800S specifically targeting large machines in the 400–1,000 ton range. The RC and RCII series are premium full-servo traverse robots prized for speed and structural rigidity, while the FRA series represents the high-end tier with active vibration control and up to eight programmable axes for the most demanding applications. Side-entry robots such as the SXC and TSXA series address high-speed in-mold labeling and micromolding cells, and the YAII series handles ultra-large presses with payloads up to 100 kg. Sprue pickers, palletizing robots, and end-of-arm tooling round out the automation offering.

Yushin robots serve manufacturers across a broad range of end markets that rely on precision plastic injection molding. Automotive suppliers use Yushin take-out robots to extract structural and trim components from large-tonnage presses. Medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers depend on clean-room-rated models for syringes, diagnostic disposables, and IV components. Consumer electronics, appliance, packaging, and food and beverage producers also rely on Yushin automation to maintain tight cycle times and consistent part quality at high volumes.

Buyers seeking used Yushin robots on the secondary market are drawn by several factors. The company's structural optimization technology produces lightweight yet rigid arms with low vibration and long service life, meaning well-maintained machines retain their accuracy and speed for many years. Yushin's ECO Vacuum system and all-servo architecture reduce compressed air and energy consumption compared with older pneumatic designs, keeping operating costs low even on older units. The E-Touch controller platform is intuitive and widely understood by molding technicians, simplifying integration and reducing retraining costs. Parts availability is supported by Yushin America's North American facility in Cranston, Rhode Island, which stocks components and provides 24/7 technical support, giving used-equipment buyers confidence in long-term serviceability.
