Sepro America LLC of Pittsburgh said its new SR series of sprue-picker robots have an easy-to-use proprietary control system.Injection molders can easily program virtually any sequence of robot movements, and store up to 20 such sequences for recall later.
The pickers are available in three different models, for handling parts on injection presses with clamping forces from 20-450 tons.
The smallest one, the SR 55, offers a vertical stroke up to 21.5 inches and a strip stoke up to 3 inches. It can handle payloads up to 2.2 pounds.
The SR 65 has a vertical stroke up to 25.5 inches. The largest model, the SR 85, has a reach up to 32.5 inches. Both the SR 65 and SR 85 feature a 6-inch maximum strip stroke and top payload of 4.4 pounds.
The SR robots achieve takeout times as fast as 0.7 of a second, with an overall cycle time as short as three seconds.
Using a hand-held pendant, operators are guided through the setup process step by step, to maintain safety rules and prevent motion conflicts.
