Shibaura Machine, headquartered in Japan, will present its next-generation injection molding innovations: the EC-SXIII All-Electric series and the S-GenXt Hydraulic series, under the theme “Smart. Green. Sustainable.” at K 2025.  

Both molding applications at the fairgrounds will produce parts using recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), showcasing the company’s commitment to sustainability.

Integrated with the machiNetCloud IIoT platform, all machines at the booth will display real-time data through interactive dashboards.

Smarter, connected, and more efficient machines

The EC75SXIII All-Electric injection molding machine will be the centerpiece of Shibaura Machine’s booth, showcased in a fully automated, high-efficiency production cell.

This system will manufacture sleek business card holders using a single-cavity rPET mold from CNN Plastic System with a clamping force of 75 tons. The automated cell seamlessly integrates component production, logo printing, and final assembly, delivering superior precision, speed, and energy efficiency.

Available in models ranging from 50 to 3,000 metric tons of clamping force, the ECSXIII All-Electric series accommodates a wide range of molding applications.

The S-GenXt 180-7A Hydraulic injection molding machine will be featured in a second fully automated production cell, producing rPET food containers using a 2-cavity mold from CNN Plastics System. In-mold labeling is seamlessly integrated with WETEC’s W830X system, applying labels directly during production.

Equipped with Shibaura Machine’s proprietary binary injection technology, the S-GenXt achieves faster cycle times and lowers production costs, eliminating the need for expensive accumulators or additional components.

The S-GenXt Hydraulic series delivers robust performance with its five-point twin toggle clamping, energy-efficient servo hydraulics, and user-friendly controls.

All S-GenXt machines and auxiliary equipment are manufactured at Shibaura Machine’s facility in India.

Auxiliary equipment and IIoT platform for the future

Shibaura Machine’s new line of auxiliary equipment was designed for seamless integration with the company’s All-Electric and Hydraulic machines, providing cost-effective turnkey solutions.

The auxiliary lineup includes industrial robots for material handling, inspection, packaging, assembly, and cleanroom production. An extensive range of 6-axis robots will also be on display, integrated with the injection molding machines.

Built to support both all-electric and hydraulic injection molding machines, as well as auxiliary equipment, the IIoT platform machiNetCloud provides seamless connectivity and a centralized view of operations.

With features like real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, energy tracking, and performance analytics, the platform empowers decision-makers to act proactively reducing unplanned downtime, optimizing cycle times, and lowering total cost of ownership.
