Used Sepro Plastics Robots & Automation for Sale

Sepro was founded in 1973 in La Roche-sur-Yon, France, originally as Sepro Engineering — an acronym for Société d'Etude de nouveaux PROduits, meaning New Products Design Company. The business pivoted early to injection molding automation, deploying its first numerical-control robot for unloading plastic injection presses in the late 1970s. Decades of focused development made Sepro one of the first companies in the world to commercialize Cartesian CNC robots for injection molding, and the company later rebranded as Sepro Robotique to reflect that singular focus. Today it operates 12 subsidiaries and is represented by roughly 40 distributors across 50 countries.

Sepro's core product lines are Cartesian robots spanning 3-axis, 5-axis, and 6-axis configurations, all unified under the proprietary Visual control platform. The SR series of pneumatic sprue pickers — including the SR-55, SR-65, and SR-85 — handles simple, high-speed runner removal on smaller presses. The PIP series of large-format 3-axis servo robots, such as the PIP-3021 and PIP-3061 BZ, was engineered for heavy-duty top-entry part removal on high-tonnage machines. The 6X series brings 6-axis polyarticulated arms — models like the 6X-205 — controlled by the Visual 3 platform for complex side-entry and post-mold operations. Across all lines, the rigid monobloc frame structure, prismatic guide rails, and powerful servomotors deliver high acceleration with precise, repeatable positioning.

Sepro robots serve a broad range of plastics processing industries. Automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers rely on large-format Sepro robots for bumpers, interior trim, and structural components. Medical device and pharmaceutical molders value the precision and cleanroom-compatible configurations. Packaging producers use high-speed Sepro systems for thin-wall containers and in-mold labeling, while consumer electronics and general industrial molders depend on the flexibility of the 5-axis and 6-axis lines for complex part handling and post-mold assembly.

Buyers seeking used Sepro robots consistently find strong value on the secondary market. The company's all-servo drive architecture and heavy-gauge mechanical construction mean that well-maintained machines retain accuracy and repeatability long after their initial installation. The Visual control platform's widespread adoption makes operator training straightforward, and Sepro's global parts and service network supports older generations of equipment. These factors — combined with the high original cost of new Sepro robots — make used Sepro sprue pickers, PIP-series robots, and SR-series units attractive investments for molders looking to automate or expand capacity without new-equipment lead times.
