Sumitomo (SHI) Demag presents inaugural tooling partnership with ELMET, plus new 6-axis robotics solution. Showcasing global prowess processing liquid silicone applications.
At K 2022 (Hall 15, D22), Sumitomo (SHI) Demag will highlight its LSR processing competence, including OPC-UA interface compatibility on mainstream dosing systems, using a fully electric IntElect 180/570-250 injection moulding machine. Live demonstrations focus on the sustainability advantages of using a single tool to produce four variants of durable and reusable silicone Smart Cap covers for beverage and energy drinks, food tins and cans. “With this exhibit we are staying true to the company’s Act! Sustainably commitment, supported by constant machine innovation and total processing synergy”, notes LSR expert and new Business Development Director of Automotive & Electronics, Rustam Aliyev.
