The company will demonstrate eight fully electric injection moulding machines equipped with modular, future-ready digital systems
Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is set to highlight its next-generation integrated automation and robot solutions at K 2025, focusing on greater efficiency, higher machine availability, and lower production costs. The company will demonstrate eight fully electric injection moulding machines equipped with modular, future-ready digital systems that ensure full connectivity and flexibility for diverse customer requirements.
Sumitomo (SHI) Demag will present five live exhibits that underline the versatility of its automation portfolio—from compact top-entry systems for parts removal to fully autonomous 24-hour production lines and customized applications using industrial robots. Each solution has been engineered for intuitive operation, seamless integration, and optimized production cycles.
The company will showcase its latest evolution of the SAM-C series, including the new SAM-C5. The mechanics of the SAM-C range have been refined to make optimal use of limited production space. The SAM-C3 and SAM-C5 models now perform efficiently even in facilities with low ceiling heights. Thanks to a newly designed, compact vertical axis, the total system height can now remain below 3 meters when paired with an IntElect 50 or 75, without any compromise on gripper size or load capacity.
“The improved mechanics deliver maximum cleanliness, robustness, and system uptime,” explains Jürgen Schulze, Director of Business Development Automation. “Combined with our low-code programming interface, the system is both powerful and user-friendly.” Demonstrating its performance, the SAM-C5 will perform a typical removal and deposition cycle in just six seconds using a realistic 5 kg gripper—achieving this in its standard configuration.
It will also showcase SAM-C20 with servo hand axes operating on an IntElect Multi R. “Positioning the second injection unit in the R-orientation allows the use of top-entry robots, improving accessibility, reducing costs, and maintaining the system footprint,” adds Schulze.
