Sepro, a global leader on robotics applied to the Plastics Industry based on La Roche sur Yon, France, is displaying a total of 12 robots during Fakuma trade fair, from 13th to 17th October 2015, in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Seven robots are on display at Sepro´s booth (Hall A1, Stand 1203) and and five others in partner´s booths (Sumitomo Demag, Billion, Haitian, JSW). Three new robot families for large-tonnage injection-molding machines (from 700 to 5000 tons of clamping force) make their European debut at Fakuma.

At Sepro´s booth, the company is demonstrating a model 7X-55 five-axis robot from the new premium 7X Line and a Strong 50, which is representing a general-purpose line of large robots. Also on display a 6X90 six-axis articulated arm robot, a 5X25, which is a 5-axis robot, and a Success 33 from the company’s universal range of 3-axis robots. Sepro is also introducing another 3-axis family of robots for large injection molding machines - the S7 Line. A 6X60 six-axis articulated arm robot will also be on display in an upside-down confirguration on a 50T Sumitomo Demag IMM.

In recent years, Sepro Group´s sales have increased by 250 %. For 2015, the company expects sales of more than 90 million euros - the third consecutive year of record sales. A leader in the market for large robots, Sepro expects to produce approximately 500 robots in 2015 for use on injection molding machines with clamping forces higher than 700 tons.

The company also announced that it is partnering with the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (U.S.A) for a research on how human, computers and robots interact, in order to help in the development of the next generation of robots and injection molding machine controls.
