Shibaura Machine brings full range of SCARA and 6-axis robots to Automatica 2025
Shibaura Machine and TM Robotics to showcase ceiling-mounted, cleanroom and IP65 SCARA options
Shibaura Machine, a global leader in industrial automation and injection moulding, will return to Automatica 2025 alongside TM Robotics, its primary robotics partner in EMEA and the Americas, and distributor of its injection moulding machines in the UK and Ireland. The companies will showcase their comprehensive range of SCARA and 6-axis robots alongside the innovative Infinifeed™ advanced feeding solution. The event will take place at Messe München, Munich, Germany, from June 24 to 27, with Shibaura Machine exhibiting at Hall B5, Stand 406.
At the event, TM Robotics will be showcasing the THE400 and THE600 SCARA robot models in a live, high-speed part handling operation, demonstrating the precision and throughput capabilities of the series. These models are part of a growing portfolio of SCARA solutions designed for assembly, inspection and packaging tasks in compact environments.
"This year at Automatica, we're highlighting the full capabilities of our THE series SCARA robots - including ceiling-mounted, ISO Class 4 cleanroom and IP65-rated models," said Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics. "These options allow the THE series to meet a wide range of application requirements - from space-saving installations to stringent hygiene and environmental protection standards."
Also on display will be the Infinifeedâ„¢ advanced feeding solution. Designed by Terra Automation and integrated by DOMA automation, the system is powered by a Shibaura Machine THE600 SCARA robot and offers seamless part feeding and sorting to streamline production lines.
Infinifeedâ„¢ combines high-speed vision processing with precise robotic handling to deliver unmatched flexibility and reliability in feeding a wide variety of parts - significantly reducing downtime and enhancing overall workflow efficiency. Its compact footprint and modular design make it ideal for manufacturers seeking scalable, intelligent automation systems.
Shibaura Machine and TM Robotics experts will also be on hand to discuss the full capabilities of its 6-axis robot ranges. They include the TV series, offering high-speed flexibility for complex handling tasks; the compact, space-saving TVL range for efficient assembly and handling; and the lightweight, cost-effective TVM models designed for streamlined production. These robots are compatible with a wide range of applications, including assembly, inspection and integration with CNC and injection moulding systems.
"Automatica 2025 is a key platform for demonstrating the depth of our robotic offering," continued Smith. "It's a chance to showcase how Shibaura Machine's technology, combined with TM Robotics' distribution, integration and support, delivers integrated automation solutions built on Japanese engineering excellence."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
