      Automation solutions for rubber processing – efficient, precise, turnkey.

      With its dedicated automation division, SHIBAURA MACHINE LWB delivers well-designed, end-to-end solutions for the rubber processing industry, from initial concept to fully operational systems. Users benefit from seamlessly integrated setups combining machinery, process technology, and automation. Rubber’s unique properties, such as high elasticity and demanding temperature requirements, call for innovative handling approaches. Our solutions ensure safe, precise, and cost-effective automation, even for complex processes. A key focus lies in automating part logistics directly at the press or injection molding machine. Integrated robots handle tasks like feeding and inserting components, removing finished parts and sprues, and then automatically placing them in order on pallets or transporting them for further processing. We deliver turnkey production systems with comprehensive handling peripherals, compatible with both vertical and horizontal presses and injection molding machines. Additionally, we offer standardized automation modules, including linear robots, rotary and sliding tables, gripper systems, and sprue separators. Systems from leading partners are seamlessly integrated. A major advantage for our customers: We provide process engineering advice during the planning phase, optimizing the entire production workflow—from cavity design to selecting the ideal machine strategy. The result: economical, scalable solutions tailored precisely to your needs. This leads to greater process reliability, reduced manual intervention, increased efficiency, and sustainable production optimization.

    2. Automation System SpeedLine INDIVIDUAL

      Automation System SpeedLine INDIVIDUAL

      With the SpeedLine crimping machines, Schäfer offers innovative swivel arm wire processing machines for high productivity and diverse applications. The modular platform was developed for different machine variants to provide maximum flexibility for customer-specific requirements. Minimal machine downtime, ergonomic working heights, and the safety concept were the main focus. The machine variants are divided into standard models for typical applications and custom configurations for complex solutions. This crimping machine falls into the standard models category and offers equipment for typical cable productions with up to 4 stations. Various machine configurations can be selected from additional options to achieve reproducible and complex cable processing. To ensure product quality, Schäfer offers optional extensions. The crimp force monitoring module reliably evaluates the quality of crimp connections. The conductor quality monitoring reports defective parts due to faulty stripping, and the optical cable quality monitoring inspects the produced cables. The WireStar HMI software supports optimum process sequences through its user-friendly operator interface and constant data availability from previous productions. Interaction via the modern user interface is done via a touchscreen and offers a safe handling of the machine. WireStar‘s excellent networkability contributes to central process coordination and supports through extensive and configurable database management. The integrated networking with Schäfer Connect facilitates process coordination with the operator‘s planning system for resources (e.g. ERP). The dashboard can also be used to display status, production progress and material consumption independent of the installation location.

    3. Automation System SynchroLine

      Automation System SynchroLine

      The high-performance wire processing machine is used for the production of high quality cables for medicine applications. On the prepared wires, crimp connections are manufactured with high precision and special connectors are applied. Schäfer has many years of experience in the development and manufacture of tools and machines for the processing of individual wires. The basis of the fully automatic cable processing machine is a transfer system which transports the wires to the respective stations with shuttles. The two core wire is fed nearly tension-free by means of a specially developed wire unwinder. Depending on demand, the speed of the unwinding is controlled and a corresponding length of fiber is stored in a buffer. The product-dependent wire lengths are cut at the first station of the processing machine. The control system with touch screen has an intuitive user interface for easy and safe operation of the machine in different languages. The selection of different user roles and operating modes as well as machine networking functions enable flexible and modern process sequences.

    4. Automation System SynchroLine INDIVIDUAL

      Automation System SynchroLine INDIVIDUAL

      Wire processing machine for solar applications The fully automated machine for processing electric components of solar facilities transfers the cables pairwise to the various work stations by means of a transfer shuttle: - Inline cable roughening - Cutting to length and stripping - Terminal spacing and infeeding - Infeeding electric components - Attaching terminals and components - Compacting and resistance welding - Quality control check

    5. Automatischer Trennmittelauftrag für die Kunststoffbearbeitung

      Automatischer Trennmittelauftrag für die Kunststoffbearbeitung

      Trennmittel sind Hilfsstoffe, die beim Spritzgießen von Kunststoff verhindern, dass Form und Bauteil beim Abformprozess miteinander verkleben. Das gefertigte Bauteil kann so unbeschadet aus der Grundform entnommen werden. Formentrennmittel haben zusätzlich Einfluss auf die Oberflächenbeschaffenheit und damit auf die Möglichkeit der Weiterverarbeitung wie Lackierung, Metallisierung, Bedruckung etc. des Bauteils! Vorteile und Nutzen: ✅ Hohe Wirksamkeit durch ausgeprägte Oberflächenbenetzung und trennende Filmbildung ✅ Minimaler Verbrauch wegen Ausbildung extrem dünner Filme Weiterer Nutzen → Markierung von Bauteilen: Die Kennzeichnung von Bauteilen dient der Identifikation von Bauteilen oder -gruppen. Weitere Aufgaben der Kennzeichnung können je nach Anwendungsfall sichtbare Informationsübertragung und die Kennung von Ausschussteilen sein.
