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.
