S5-25 Speed Sepro’s S5-25 Speed top-entry robot requires a smaller molding-cell footprint than side-entry robots, making it a good choice for applications involving simple parts such as flowerpots and thin-wall food containers and tubs. Its telescopic arm reduces overhead height requirements. At NPE, Sepro will display the newest version of the S5-25 Speed, which it first introduced in 2019.
What’s new? Decreased demand for compressed air. The S5-25 Speed — first introduced in 2019 — is now equipped with Sepro’s new ECO Air feature, which instead of continuously using compressed air, monitors vacuum levels and prompts vacuum generation only when required. This cuts compressed air use for vacuum part gripping by up to 85 percent.
Benefits Faster cycle times. The new S5-25 Speed features a more powerful servo motor and gear box on the X-axis, giving it 63 percent faster acceleration and faster overall cycle times than its predecessor.
