Scara Robots

Epson SCARA Robots (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) were design to be similar to a human's arm. At the end of the second arm, there is a Z-axis carriage, which can rotate independently of its perpendicular movement (U-axis).

Scara robots are particularly suitable for handling and/or assembling workpieces at parallel levels thanks to their resemblance to a human arm. Another advantage is that they only have to move a single axis in order to lift a part up.

All wiring reqired for the robot's and the payload's operation are done internally, inside the robot's housing. This will reduce problems and limits because of external cabling.

G-series

The G-series are Epson's newest generation of Scara robots that feature impressive diversity, speed and precision. Reach ranges from 250mm up to 1000mm, payloads from 3 to 20 kg. They are an excellent choice, even for complex requirements. There are 168 different models that you can choose from, ensuring that you get the right robot for your specific application:

reaches: 250-1000 mm
payloads: 3-20 kgs
mounting options: base, wall, ceiling
environment: clean room, ESD
protection: standard, IP54, IP64

These robots are ideal for the medical, automotive, electronics, consumer, food, lab automation, PC peripheral, semiconductor, plastics, appliance and aerospace industries and applications.

RC180 Robot Controller

RC180 controller is small and compact system featuring the diversity and reliability that is typical for products originating from Epson. It can be configured with 5 different mountings, allowing it to be installed in small places.

Simple yet powerful

The installation is simple and programming is very intuitive. The actual coding is done on an external PC, running the programming environment. The software is easy to understand for anyone with a little programming background.

Multitasking

The system isn't just for operating the robot, but using its inputs/outputs it can control other devices and/or tasks as well in your specific application. Various parts of the program can work together or completely independent of one another.

Networking

The RC180 offers full networking capability, which is often a requirement for larger projects administered by several developers.
