Shibaura Machine will demonstrate its latest plastics and rubber manufacturing technologies at Interplas 2026, taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 2–4 June. Working alongside TM Robotics, its official distribution partner for injection moulding machines and automation systems in the UK and Ireland, the company will highlight its advanced injection moulding machines. They include the EC-SXIII all-electric series and the S-GenXt hydraulic series, alongside integrated automation and digital solutions for fully connected, turnkey production.
“Manufacturers today are looking for more than standalone machines. They need complete, integrated systems that deliver consistent performance and long-term value,” said Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics. “At Interplas, we demonstrated how Shibaura Machine’s technology supports plastics and rubber processors with solutions that are not only high precision, but also connected, efficient and future-ready.”
Shibaura Machine’s digital platform, machiNetCloud Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform was also highlighted as part of its smart factory offering. machiNetCloud offers real-time monitoring, energy tracking and predictive maintenance capabilities. It works alongside tools such as Virtual Machine Expert, which enables predictive maintenance and process optimisation through AI-driven monitoring.
Central to Shibaura Machine’s presence at Interplas was its ‘total solution’ approach, combining machinery, robotics and digital technologies into fully integrated production systems. In partnership with TM Robotics, Shibaura Machine delivers turnkey cells that integrate injection moulding machines with its Japanese-engineered 6-Axis and SCARA industrial robot ranges.
The demonstration also showed how Shibaura Machine could deliver a total solution, with the injection moulding machine offloaded by Shibaura Machine robot technology, such as the TVM 6-axis robot, before the robot decorated the plastic using Roboprint’s T-TRANSFER technology, integrated through a specialist head and gripper.
At Interplas, this was demonstrated virtually through a complete production sequence at Stand N50 in Hall 10. Visitors saw how Shibaura Machine injection moulding machines, Shibaura Machine robot technology and Roboprint decoration could operate as one integrated system.
A key focus on Stand N50 in Hall 10 at Interplas was Shibaura Machine’s latest injection moulding technology. These systems combine with the company’s expertise in rubber processing for applications requiring consistent performance under demanding material conditions.
