Product Categories of Sepro America, LLC

• Assembly Robots and EOAT

  Offers a complete range of robots and sprue pickers, as well as end-of-arm tooling and complete automation engineering and service. Sepro Axess servo beam robots bring the speed and precision of three-axis brushless servo operation to pick-and-place operations on molding machines up to 1000 tons. Horizontal strokes to 236 in.; kick stroke lengths to 43 in.; and vertical strokes to 78 in with telescoping arm. Largest units have payload capacities to 55 lb. Ultra-simple Touch 2 electronic control system uses 32-bit microprocessors and a graphic touchscreen user interface for easy programming. Axess robots offer standard features like simultaneous motion on all three axes; multiple vacuum and pressure circuits to allow degating, selective part placement and other functions; and quick disconnects for fast changeovers. Exclusive Y-free function provides for the programmed release of the strip-axis motor, allowing free movement of the robot arm and load-free ejector tracking. Delivering the highest levels of performance, Sepro has introduced its fifth generation of robots, represented initially by the Model S5-35 for molding machines up to 700 tons of clamp. Compared to similar robots of the same size, the S5 machines offer longer strokes and heavier payloads without sacrificing speed. The S5 robots feature the advanced Visual 2 controller. Driven by a high-speed PLC, the Visual 2 has a large, easy-to-read and -navigate 10-inch touch-sensitive LCD screen and a joystick that allows operators to actually steer the robot to fine-tune its movements. Unit can store user manuals and other documentation for easy access. Ethernet, USB connection and even Wi-Fi connectivity is standard. Recent mechanical enhancements to the Sepro Generation IV robots, for machines up to 5000 tons, include multiple wrist-rotation options (for increased flexibility in both part removal and downstream or outside the press) and increased speeds and acceleration rates that are 10-15% faster than previous units with comparable payloads. The exclusive Y-free option and a wide range of special configurations, including low-height vertical-arm designs, pneumatic sub-arms for stack molds or three-plate mold, are available. BE series robots bridge the gap between pickers and servo beam robots. They are designed for simple pick and place applications where more flexibility of part release position is required. Designed for molding machines up to 550 tons, they offer more functionality than pickers at a fraction of the cost of a high-end servo-driven robot. Vertical and kick strokes are pneumatically powered, and the horizontal axis features AC electric drive or optional servo drive for speed and precision. Larger models can handle payloads up to 44 lb. With a 1.5-sec takeout time and an 8-sec overall cycle, mold-open time is minimized to accommodate fast cycling. Sepro America offers sprue pickers for molding machines from 20 to 450 tons, with takeout times as quick as 0.6 sec. Standard configuration includes Sepro controls that allow easy programming for virtually any sequence of picker movements. Controls store up to 20 such sequences for later recall. All Sepro controls are SPI and C-E compatible.
