Kawaguchi Injection Molding Machines

Kawaguchi's long history of selling and producing injection molding machines to the U.S., which began in the 1970s, came to an end in 2011. However, there are still used machines circulating and our robotics are compatible.

Star Automation can easily connect to Kawaguchi machines using the standard SPI 32-pin and 50-pin connectors. We offer a wide range of molding machines from small to extra large, high-speed machines for thin-wall packaging, high-duty models, vertical machines, insert molding machines, 2-shot machines, and liquid injection molding machines.

If you have any questions, need training, maintenance, or anything in between, please reach out. We would be more than happy to assist!
