The Sepro Group is expanding its range of solutions for automating injection moulding processes. Ahead of Fakuma 2026, the company has announced plans to extend its “Visual 4” control platform to additional robot ranges and introduce new configurations for part removal and handling. At the same time, Sepro is expanding its capabilities in integrating complete production cells and connecting them to digital manufacturing systems.

Standardised Control for Different Robot Sizes
Following its introduction on the “S-Line” and larger “Success” robots, “Visual 4” will also be used in smaller automation solutions and compact models of the “Success” range. The common platform provides standardised operating and programming tools, diagnostic functions and industrial connectivity options. This is intended to simplify training, maintenance and the integration of different robot models, among other things. At Fakuma 2026, Sepro will demonstrate robots from the “Success” and “S-Line X” ranges.

New Configurations for Part Removal and Handling
With the announced “Success 10”, Sepro plans to expand its product range for smaller injection moulding machines. The model is expected to feature the “Visual 4” control platform, additional pneumatic functions and higher operating speeds. A dual-arm option is also planned for selected models of the “Success” range, allowing moulded parts and sprues to be handled simultaneously. This is particularly relevant for applications involving three-plate moulds.

According to the company, the “S-Line X” range will be expanded to include an optional servo-driven R3 rotary axis. The additional axis of motion is intended to enable more complex part removal, handling and assembly tasks. Sepro has not yet provided specific performance figures or launch dates for the individual configurations.

System Integration Beyond the Robot
Sepro aims to strengthen its role as an integrator of complete automation cells. In addition to robots and control systems, its offering includes the integration of gripper systems, peripheral equipment and downstream processes, including technologies from other suppliers. Applications range from part removal and insert placement to assembly, inspection, quality control, marking, traceability, packaging, palletising and production data acquisition.

According to the company, it manages projects from planning and system integration through commissioning to maintenance and technical support. The approach is intended to integrate individual automation components into coordinated production workflows.

Connectivity and Cybersecurity as Development Priorities
Sepro has announced enhanced connectivity and integration capabilities for 2027. These are intended to facilitate data exchange between robots, injection moulding machines and higher-level production and information systems. Development will be guided by established industrial standards. However, the company has not specified any particular interfaces or standards in its announcement.

At the same time, Sepro is incorporating cybersecurity requirements into the development of future automation platforms. The focus is on protecting industrial data and ensuring the integrity and availability of connected production systems.

According to the company, the Sepro Group has equipped more than 40,000 injection moulding machines worldwide over more than five decades.
