Showcase

SCARA Robots

Epson is the #1 SCARA robot manufacturer in the world. The Synthis T-Series All-in-One SCARA robots offer the perfect way to automate factories without wasting time or money on expensive, complex, slide-based solutions. The robots come with a built-in controller, a new technology feature that reduces space requirements and simplifies setup, and the powerful Epson RC+^® development environment that is included with all Epson Robots. This innovative alternative installs in minutes and virtually eliminates any space-constraint issues. It is offered at an ultra low price, starting at $7,495.

The Synthis T6 All-in-One SCARA robot will be shown with Vision Guide demonstrating inspection as well as pick and place applications using vision guidance. The first in the T-series, the Synthis T3 All-in-One SCARA robot was awarded the Vision Systems Design 2018 Innovators Award.

6-Axis Robots

Epson's space-saving 6-Axis robots can reach in to confined workspaces from many angles with ultra smooth motion, making the C4-Series, C8-Series and N-Series some of the most flexible 6-Axis robots available in market today. Payloads range from 2kg to 8kg and reach from 450 to 1,400mm. The Epson 6-Axis SlimLine design saves on valuable factory floor space without compromising performance, speed or reach. The Flexion™ N2 6-Axis robot with the world's first folding arm design, was awarded the Thomas Edison 2018 Innovation Award.

The C4 6-Axis robot workcell will be shown using Epson's new Force Guide integrated solution with various application examples. Force Guide provides fast, tactile feedback to guide robots for high-precision parts placement. Powered by proprietary Epson Quartz Technology and driven by real-time servo system integration, it enables Epson robots to detect 6 axes of force with precision down to 0.1 N. Easy to configure and set up, Force Guide features a point-and-click interface with pre-configured solutions and built-in objects, reducing the development time for precision repeatability applications.
