Sepro Group announces integration partnership with Universal Robots
May 17, 2019:- Under the terms of this partnership between Sepro and UR, Sepro Group will integrate its Visual Control System with cobots supplied by UR. The Visual Control Platform was developed by Sepro especially for robots used in plastics injection-molding machines. All Sepro products, including co-branded lines, are controlled by Visual, providing the same user interface regardless of the type of robot.
The partnership will allow Sepro Group to deliver a range of automation solutions to injection molders in the plastics industry. This portfolio includes Cartesian robots, 6-axis articulated-arm robots and now cobots. Like the 6-axis robot solutions, cobots are adapted to peripheral operations in the plastics industry.
By adding the Visual Control to the cobot, Sepro Group guarantees integration with UR’s technology and other Sepro robots and molding machines. This will allow customers to design safe, open configurations for various types of processes, including peripheral operations or automation cells.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sepro will provide global services for solutions from Sepro and UR. Sepro has a presence in the Americas, with more than 150 experts and 42 service centers around the world. This network allows Sepro to deliver local support and the same quality of service for cobots as it does on Cartesian and six-axis robots.
