Achieve increased speed and reduced labor! We propose the automation of the CFRTP hybrid (composite material) molding system.
【Overview】 ■As part of efforts to commercialize the CFRTP hybrid molding system, we have achieved high strength through laminated pressing of stampable sheets and direct molding, high-speed and uniform heating of laminated sheets using a heated steam heater, and sheet transportation using a multi-joint robot. ■By reducing the thickness of expensive CF sheets, we lower material costs, systematize sheet transportation with heated steam heaters and multi-joint robots, shorten production cycles through thin sheet laminated heating methods, and enable heating that reduces oxidative degradation using heated steam heaters. ■Components: Heated steam heater, vertical clamping device, injection molding machine, multi-joint robot, scara robot. 【Main Examples】 ■Automated transportation system for CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) molding using multi-joint robots. ■Molding of thermoplastic super engineering plastics through external heating. ■Composite material molding system. 【Main Materials】 ■CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) ■GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) ■GMT (glass mat reinforced thermoplastic) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Action Flow】 ■ The SCARA robot sets the sheet on the heated steam heater. ■ The multi-joint robot grips the sheet heated by the heater. ■ The sheet is placed into the vertical clamping device's mold. ■ After press molding, the multi-joint robot retrieves the molded product. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Our company changed its name from "Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd." to "Shibaura Machine Co., Ltd." on April 1, 2020. The new name, Shibaura Machine Co., Ltd., embodies our commitment to continue evolving through contributions to society via "monozukuri" (manufacturing), while never forgetting the DNA that has driven our progress. We aim to achieve further evolution together with our customers. Leveraging the "monozukuri technology" of the Shibaura Machine Group, we offer solutions such as "system robots" that contribute to the automation, labor-saving, and efficiency of various manufacturing sites, as well as "servo systems" that serve as the driving force for all types of machinery and "industrial programmable controllers." We can broadly accommodate a variety of needs. The Control Systems Division, responsible for the development, design, and manufacturing of control devices that give intelligence to various machines in the Toshiba Machine Group, including machine tools and injection molding machines, will deliver these solutions.
