Epson RS Spider
Epson has developed a new Scara robot that eliminates dead space and maximizes work space.Instead of moving around a fixed pedestal the RS (Rotational Scara) Spider 351S has can maneuver back under itself without any constraints. As a result, the robot can reach every point of its entire circular workspace at particularly high speed.
The RS Spider can move directly to any point (within its expanded operating area) by taking the shortest possible route. By contrast the usual SCARA system has to circumvent its own stand.
This innovation has reduced cycle times tremendously.
Advantages of the Spider
- no dead space
- reach every point within its working envelope
- significantly reduced cycle times (15-25%)
- easy integration
- ceiling-mount configurations - no footprint
- minimum space - no change of arms necessary
- internal orientation of the new kinematics allow for intelligent use of valuable production space
