The Success 5, the newest and smallest in Sepro Group’s range of economical, general-purpose Cartesian robots for plastics injection moulding, delivers precise, 3-axis servo performance in simple pick-and-place and stacking applications.

First announced in late 2016 (along with the S5 Picker, which shares a similar mechanical design), the Success 5 is now available to equip injection moulding machines up to 80 tons. Like all Sepro Success robots, it is equipped with a standard R1 pneumatic (0-90°) rotation, but offers an optional R3 rotation (0-90° or 0-180°).

The standard Success 5 can be configured with horizontal strokes of 1000 or 1500 mm, a 400-mm demoulding stroke, a 1000-mm vertical stroke and a 3-kg maximum payload. Other standard features, normally available only on more expensive robots, include:

- simultaneous motion on all three axes;

- “Y-free” function, which makes it easier to program ejection tracking and saves on gripper costs thanks to its simple design;

- multiple vacuum and pressure circuits to allow degating, selective part placement and other functions;

- quick disconnects for fast end-of-arm tooling changeovers.
