Injection moulding machines and robots from a single supplier

12 April 2017

Milacron Holdings and Sepro Group have reached an agreement that calls for Sepro to manufacture 3 and 5-axis robots to be sold with Milacron injection moulding machines throughout Europe.

All robots are marketed under the Milacron brand name to equip its full range of injection moulding machines. Milacron is handling aftermarket service with support from Sepro, particularly during the early stages to the relationship. The robot control will be fully integrated into the Milacron machine controls. It was developed by Sepro specifically for the injection moulding industry.

“This agreement creates new options for moulders who may prefer to deal with a single supplier for their injection moulding machine and automation requirements”, notes Jean-Michel Renaudeau, CEO of Sepro Group. “It opens new market opportunities for both, Milacron and Sepro”.

Denis Poelman, managing director of Milacron’s injection moulding machinery business in Europe commented: “The Sepro robotic systems are ideally suited for all of Milacron’s machine series and perfectly adapt to our customer’s needs. The new robot portfolio can handle weights from 3 to 60 kg”.
