Varnamo, Sweden injection-molding automation builder founded 1987, now part of Japan's Yushin Group; makes eDesign LT-to-xLine linear robots and grippers.
Wemo Automation AB is a Swedish manufacturer and systems integrator of linear injection molding robots, automation cells, gripper systems, and material handling solutions, headquartered at Bredastensvägen 12, 331 44 Värnamo, Sweden. The company also operates a German subsidiary based in Kleinostheim, Germany.
Wemo's core product line is the eDesign and xLine series of linear servo robots designed for integration with injection molding presses. These robots automate part removal, insert loading, sprue picking, and in-mold decoration across a broad range of press tonnages and part sizes. The 3-5 Linear Picker (also called the Wemo 3-5 Sprue Picker) is a compact, cost-effective entry-level unit for small presses. The xDesign and xLine series handle heavier components with longer travel axes.
Complementary product lines include the Wemo Grip System (WGS), a modular end-of-arm tooling platform built from standard aluminum and steel components that can be rapidly reconfigured for different parts and cycle times; conveyor belt systems for part buffering, box handling, and inclined transport; and the SmartDrive 2.0 servo axis system providing 1-3 additional axes of motion for extended pick-and-place or custom automation tasks.
The company's WIPS 4.0 control software provides a symbol-based programming interface with full control over robot motion and peripheral devices. OPC UA connectivity is integrated to enable machine-to-machine communication and Industry 4.0 data exchange.
Served markets include automotive component molding, medical device manufacturing, consumer packaging, e-commerce fulfillment, and automatic warehouse integration. Wemo also develops customized automation solutions and gripper tooling for complex production flows beyond standard injection molding applications. The company distributes through a reseller network across Europe. Contact: +46 370 65 85 00, [email protected].
