Achieve increased speed and reduced labor! We propose the automation of the hybrid (composite) molding system.
【Overview】 ■ This is a system for preheating carbon fiber composite thermoplastic resin sheets and inserting them into an injection molding die. The sheets are chucked by a retrieval and transport mechanism, conveyed to the preheating device for heating, and then inserted into the injection molding die. ■ By hybrid molding with an online blend injection molding machine, this technology can be used to develop high productivity for molding lightweight and high-strength small molded products. ■ Components: Sheet heating device, injection molding machine, sheet retrieval and transport device. 【Main Examples】 ■ An automatic transport system for CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) molding using a multi-joint robot. ■ An automatic transport system for GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) molding using a multi-joint robot. 【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.

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.
