Sepro Exhibits at Swiss Plastics Expo – Collins Marketing Communications, Inc.

For the first time since beginning direct sales and service to support injection molders in Switzerland, Sepro Group is exhibiting at Swiss Plastics Expo 2020. The company will demonstrate a Model 6X-60 6-axis robot and a 3-axis Success 5 unit at the trade fair, which takes place 21 – 23 January at Messe Luzern.

From there, he and a full-time service technician serve the German-speaking areas of Switzerland. The French-speaking western region of the country is covered by Olivier Violy, a 25-year Sepro employee who also covers southeastern France. Customers in the Italian-speaking southeast of Switzerland work with Sepro’s Italian distributor, Sverital SpA.

At Swiss Plastics, Sepro is demonstrating two of its smallest robots in Hall 1, Booth D1084. The first, a Model 6X-60 six-axis articulated-arm robot, is one of four units developed in partnership with Stäubli. Sized to serve injection-molding machines with up to 100 tons of clamp, it has a maximum payload capacity of 9 kg and an operating radius of up to 920 mm. The 6X-60 can handle almost any automation task, from simple part unloading to more complex operations. Other Sepro 6-axis robots are able to serve IMMs up to 5000 tons.

Sepro is also exhibiting its Success 5 robot, the smallest in its “universal” Success line of 3-axis robots for plastics injection molding applications. The Success 5 is designed to deliver big performance in a compact package, offering precise, 3-axis servo performance for pick-and-place and stacking applications on presses up to 80 tons. Four larger models in the Success line – the Success 7, Success 11, Success 22, and Success 33 – can equip molding machines up to 700 tons.

Visitors to the Sepro stand also have the opportunity to get hands-on experience using the Visual control – the control platform that is used to operate all Sepro robots – and lean about various services including:

Open integration: offering seamless integration of Sepro’s robots and the controls of any IMM via the “Easy Package” approach
OptiCycle: the Sepro wizard that helps programmers develop a standardized and optimized robot cycle
Live Support: a smart-device application that streamlines robot troubleshooting and maintenance to maximize uptime.
