Sepro Group and Universal Robots Announce New Cobot Partnership
Sepro Group, a Global Leader in Robots and Industrial Automation for the Plastic Industry, and Universal Robots (UR), Market Leader in Collaborative Robots (Cobots), Have Signed a Partnership Agreement Enabling Sepro to Offer Its Vision Control System with UR Cobots.
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.
