Innovative energy and media supply system sets new standards – a development by Sumcab Robotics in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz AG

In the world of industrial robotics, every detail counts – especially when it comes to efficiency, durability, and ease of maintenance. With SUMOTEX™, Sumcab Robotics, in close partnership with Mercedes-Benz AG, has developed a groundbreaking energy and media supply system that sets new standards in exactly these areas.

A Solution Without Compromises

SUMOTEX™ eliminates the need for additional guiding systems that have traditionally been required in many industrial robots. This not only saves space and weight but significantly reduces component wear. The result: increased reliability and longer system lifespan.

Three Years of Technological Pioneering

The development of SUMOTEX™ is a prime example of visionary engineering. What started as an idea based on a flexible, robust pneumatic hose was brought to production readiness over more than three years. During this time, Sumcab Robotics perfected a system based on a highly developed technical fabric and a unique design – for maximum flexibility and stability under extreme conditions.

In Use at Mercedes-Benz

SUMOTEX™ is already being successfully used in various applications within Mercedes-Benz production lines. The integration is seamless and has already shown noticeable effects: maintenance efforts and downtime have been reduced, and productivity has increased. New fields of application are also emerging – for example, in sensitive environments like cleanrooms, where conventional systems reach their limits.

A Technological Legacy

For Sumcab Robotics, SUMOTEX™ is not just a product – it’s a heartfelt project. It represents the original vision of Jürgen Ehleiter, whose technical foresight and innovative spirit laid the foundation for this development. His legacy lives on in every application of this system.
