The facility’s robot integration business units, where Sepro professionals develop custom robotic automation cells, will expand by 50 percent, enabling work teams to complete up to 70 specialized projects annually for clients in Europe. This change, together with added space, will increase production capacity for Sepro 3-, 5-, and 6-axis robots from 3,000 to 5,000 units annually. The expansion of Sepro Group’s corporate headquarters and production facility in La Roche-sur-Yon, from its current 13,000 sq meters to nearly 20,000 sq meters, will take place until summer 2018.Ī key element of the expansion is the plan to separate robot manufacturing from robot integration workflow. “We have reached the limits of our production capacity and we need to invest,” says Jean Michel Renaudeau, CEO of Sepro Group.

Instead of a conventional keypad, which is commonly used for manual adjustment of robot positions, the Touch 2 controls pendant has a joystick that allows operators to actually steer the Axess robot to fine-tune its movements. The new robot comes with the Touch 2 control system including a 10-inch screen with on-board documentation, simple pick-and-place programming, and more as standard equipment.
