Sumitomo Injection Molding Automation

Star Automation supplies factory automation equipment for Sumitomo injection molding machines, including servo robots, sprue pickers, conveyor systems, pallet changers and modular end-of-arm tooling. Compatible systems support small, horizontal, large, vertical, double-shot and special-purpose presses.

Standardized 32-pin and 50-pin robot-to-press interfaces simplify integration with many Sumitomo IMMs. Legacy presses can often connect through direct terminal strip wiring. Our team also assists with installation, training, maintenance and repairs.

Servo Robots for Sumitomo Injection Molding Systems

Servo-driven take-out robots improve part extraction and placement across Sumitomo molding cells. Star Automation offers models for press ranges from compact equipment through ultra-large machines with extended travel requirements. Operators can program repeatable movements for transfer to conveyors, pallets or secondary stations while reducing manual work near the open mold.

Robot Series	Vertical Stroke (mm)	Range of IMM (Ton)	Traverse Stroke (mm)	Crosswise Stroke (mm)
TW VII Series	400-1800	20-40 to 900-2500	100-3000	340-1590
HMVII Series	800-1800	80-250 to 550-1000	450-2500	680-1130
LW VII Series	1050-1700	80-350 to 500-1000	1800-2500	770-1130
Ultra Large FMIV Series	2000-2500	1500-4000 to 2500-5000	3600-4000	1600-2000
SA Series	100-1400	40-100 to 450-750	1000-2200	440-1180
MHY VII Series	1500-1800	500-1300 to 900-2500	2500-3000	1590

Sprue Pickers for Sumitomo IMMs

Star Automation sprue pickers remove runners and excess plastic from Sumitomo injection molding machines with compact swing-arm movement. Three XQ-V models serve presses from 30 to 350 tons. Saved programs for up to 15 molds help operators return to repeat jobs quickly. The streamlined design also reduces unnecessary wiring and piping around the molding cell.

Model	Vertical Stroke	Range of IMM	Crosswise Stroke
XQ-450V	450 mm	30-80 tons	75 mm
XQ-600V	600 mm	80-180 tons	75 mm
XQ-800V	800 mm	160-350 tons	100 mm

Conveyor Belt Systems for Sumitomo IMMs

Move finished components away from Sumitomo presses with conveyors built for steady, organized part flow. Available models come in 2,000 mm and 3,000 mm lengths with several belt widths for different products and floor layouts. Adjustable height and tilt simplify placement alongside existing machinery. Variable-speed operation and indexing controls allow the conveyor to match each molding cycle.

Model	Length	Belt Width	Conveyable Weight (Max)	Total Weight
SEC2000-3CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	11.8” / 300mm	110 lbs / 50 kg	90 lbs / 41 kg
SEC2000-4CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	15.8” / 400mm	110 lbs / 50 kg	97 lbs / 44 kg
SEC2000-5CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	19.7” / 500mm	121 lbs / 55 kg	103 lbs / 47 kg
SEC2000-6CCB	6’6’’ / 2000mm	23.6” / 600mm	121 lbs / 55 kg	110 lbs / 50 kg
SEC3000-3CCB	9’10” / 3000mm	11.8” / 300mm	110 lbs / 50 kg	103 lbs / 47 kg
SEC3000-4CCB	9’10” / 3000mm	15.8” / 400mm	121 lbs / 55 kg	112 lbs / 51 kg
SEC3000-5CCB	9’10” / 3000mm	19.7” / 500mm	121 lbs / 55 kg	121 lbs / 55 kg
SEC3000-6CCB	9’10” / 3000mm	23.6” / 600mm	132 lbs / 60 kg	128 lbs / 58 kg

Pallet Changer Systems for Sumitomo IMMs

Automatic pallet changers keep finished parts organized after removal from Sumitomo machines. Once a pallet reaches capacity, the system moves it away and places an empty pallet into the collection area. Available configurations offer different exchange periods and weight limits for lightweight parts, larger loads and varied production speeds.

Model	Container Replacement Period	Loading Weight (Max)	Stacking Weight (Max)
Pallet Changer I/M	11 seconds	7 kg	70 kg
Pallet Changer IP/IM	20 seconds	15 kg	70 kg
Pallet Changer C	4 seconds	7 kg	50 kg

End of Arm Tooling (E.O.A.T.) for Sumitomo IMMs

Eins modular EOAT components help customize Sumitomo robot systems for specific parts, mold configurations and handling steps. Build assemblies for gripping, suction, cutting, sensing or rapid tooling changes. The modular format makes it easier to replace individual components or revise tooling when production requirements shift.
