Absolute Haitian and Sepro America Offer Integrated Robots to U.S. and Canadian Molders

Absolute Haitian Corporation (Worcester, MA) and Sepro America have agreed to make 3-axis, 5-axis and 6-axis robots built by Sepro available with Haitian and Zhafir plastic injection-molding machines sold in the United States and Canada. All robots will have a user interface based on Sepro’s Visual robot control that is fully integrated and accessible from the IMM operator interface. Absolute Haitian technicians, trained by Sepro, will provide after-sale service. To mark the announcement at NPE 2018, one example of this successful IMM/robot integration is on display in the Absolute Haitian booth (#W143). A Zhafir Jenius hybrid machine with an electric injection unit and two-platen clamp (JE6500/3350) is molding an automotive grille, while top-entry part removal is accomplished by a Sepro 5X-35 5-axis servo robot, which combines Sepro’s 3-axis Cartesian design with a 2-axis Stäubli wrist.
