Billion & Sepro Collaborate on Molding Machine/Robot Packages
Billion will supply injection presses with integrated robots and controls from Sepro.
Two French companies, injection machine manufacturer Billion SAS and robotics supplier Sepro Group (U.S. office in Warrendale, Pa.), are now working together to expand into new global markets. The companies want to strengthen cooperation already active in regions such as France, U.K., Germany and North Africa. Together, the two companies are introducing a complete, single-source equipment package with presses manufactured by Billion and robots from Sepro, which will be sold under the Billion brand name. Sepro’s Visual robot-control system will be integrated in Billion’s Dixit 3 injection-machine control, providing simple, intuitive programming of all machine functions.
