We are proud to announce a major milestone in our decades-long partnership with our valued customer ARaymond GmbH & Co KG! In Weil am Rhein, Germany, ARaymond has established a state-of-the-art production hall featuring Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for streamlined material and product logistics, along with a unique supply concept where mobile silos deliver just-in-time material supply. Naturally, this high level of automation requires equally reliable injection molding machinery. With the latest addition of two fully electric IntElects, the entire production hall is now outfitted exclusively with @Sumitomo (SHI) Demag machines, producing specialized fastening applications for the #automotive industry. “The #IntElect machines have been customized and optimized together with our long-time partner Sumitomo (SHI) Demag to achieve the highest level of flexibility in production planning, quick setup times, and optimal ergonomics for the setup personnel,” states Martin Knobloch, Project Manager at ARaymond. Another essential factor for ARaymond was the IntElect’s exceptional availability, energy efficiency and precision. “The precision of the machines allows for the shortest startup phases and generates the most stable processes, which are essential for our demanding product portfolio,” Knobloch explains. In addition, their high energy efficiency has a direct impact on ARaymond’s sustainability goals. “This significantly reduces the carbon footprint of our production,” he adds. We’re proud to support this cutting-edge facility and extend our gratitude to ARaymond for their continued trust in our machinery! #SumitomoDemag #ARaymond #InjectionMolding #AutomotiveIndustry #InjectionMoldingTechnology #PlasticManufacturing #AutomotiveParts #PrecisionManufacturing #AutomotiveEngineering #PlasticInjectionMolding #AutomotiveComponents

Discover our advanced #LSR solutions and SAM-C robots at Fakuma Messe! Join us at #Fakuma2024 to see how our cutting-edge LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) technology and SAM-C robots are driving innovation across industries. Visit us at three booths, each showcasing unique applications of our technology in partnership with leading industry experts: 🔷 Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Booth (Hall B1, Booth 1105): Experience the precision of the SAM-C20 robot paired with our #IntElect 180 with LSR package. Featuring a 64-cavity slide mould from ACH Solution GmbH and material supplied by WACKER, this setup efficiently produces precision infusion valves, weighing 0.36 grams, every 22 seconds. 🔷 KRACHT GmbH Booth (Hall A6, Booth 6209): At Kracht, see the SAM-C5 robot on an IntElect 75, managing surgical dental covers from an EMDE MouldTec mould. These burr-free components, weighing 0.425 grams, are produced every 25 seconds with an LSR shot weight of 1.7 grams. 🔷 Momentive Booth (Hall A4, Booth 4307): At Momentive, the SAM-C10 robot on an IntElect 130 demonstrates medium payload applications by producing a drip guard for kitchen appliances. Partnering with ELMET - Smart Silicone Solutions, this setup showcases the flexibility of LSR curing with a single shot weight of 55 grams in a live production setting. We look forward to meeting you at these booths! #SumitomoDemag #Fakuma #LSRTechnology #Automation #Robot #InjectionMolding #LiquidSiliconeRubber #Elastomer #Elastomers #SiliconeTechnology #Siliconemoulding

Medical Expertise at #Fakuma2024! If you haven’t already, be sure to visit our two medical exhibits at Fakuma for a firsthand look at cutting-edge medical manufacturing solutions: ➡ HEKUMA GmbH booth (hall A7, booth 7202): In collaboration with our partners, we are showcasing a flexible #cleanroom configuration for petri dish production, powered by our IntElect S 100 with medical package. Instead of a conventional stack mold, the system utilizes a 2+2 single face tool, achieving a seven-second cycle time. Furthermore, to ensure full compliance with ISO 13485 standards for medical devices, our IntElect comes with set user parameters, maintaining strict control over process settings. ️➡️ Sumitomo (SHI) Demag booth (hall B1, booth 1105): On our own booth, we showcase the IntElect 180, now featuring the upgraded 910 injection unit.
