Sumitomo (SHI) Demag

We are thrilled to reveal our latest success: A cutting-edge multi-component moulding solution for PB Swiss Tools! The renowned tool manufacturer PB Swiss Tools has recently integrated one of the most advanced injection moulding solutions for producing tool handles at its Swiss facility. At the core of this innovative production cell is an #IntElect 350/830-1100H-450L-450Y. This highly flexible 3K production cell is engineered to produce ergonomically shaped handles in various sizes, accommodating both new and existing products from PB Swiss Tools. The inner part of the handles is crafted using #MuCell foam technology, which reduces weight and enhances dimensional stability. The handle core is then overmoulded with a rigid material to increase strength and stability. The final stage involves a TPE overmoulding to provide a softer, more ergonomic grip for users. A standout feature of this production cell is the removal of parts at the final stage of the moulding process. The parts are extracted from the top of the mould, where there are no contoured inserts. This design allows the mould to remain closed, enabling the process to continue running uninterrupted. “We approached several machine manufacturers, but the solution from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag was by far the best," confirms Mathias Gerber, Plastics Engineering Manager at PB Swiss Tools. “Due to the removal from the fourth position in the closed tool, we save cycle time, which will ultimately provide a faster ROI. The use of an index drive rather than robots was also a decisive advantage that convinced our management team to support this investment.” Congratulations to everyone who took part in this successful project!

All-electric machines produced with #solar power! We are excited to share that our commitment to #sustainability has taken a significant leap forward with the installation of 1,038 solar modules at our production plant in Wiehe, where our small and mid-sized all-electric #IntElect machines are produced. The solar power plant has a capacity of 600 kWp, which, under perfect weather conditions, allows our production facility to become a complete self-supplier of electric power. This investment significantly reduces our environmental impact and translates to an annual reduction of approximately 410 tons of CO₂ emissions! #sumitomodemag #actsustainably #injectionmoulding #injectionmouldingmachines #production #sustainableproduction #sustainable #solarpower

Last week our #roadshow truck made its way through #Austria!    Ing. Michael Domes and his team put together two outstanding events, one at the FH St. Pölten – University of Applied Sciences and another at the HTL Bregenz. These events were not just about engaging with our customers but also provided a fantastic opportunity to present and demonstrate our cutting-edge solutions to interested students - our future engineers. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for making these events a success, and to both universities for their hospitality!   The journey doesn’t stop here - today we are thrilled to welcome our visitors at HEKUMA GmbH in Hallbergmoos! And without big breaks, the truck will afterwards continue to our colleagues in Törökbálint, Hungary, where József Nemes and his team have organized an #OpenHouse event for Wednesday, just in time when the truck will arrive!
