Scara robot
A whole armful of robots
Versatile plant automation. Whether pick and place or joining operations, speed or precision - Epson's Scara and six-axis robots can be used to implement a wide range of applications in plant automation.
Epson's Scara and six-axis robots are suitable for a wide range of applications in plant automation: in addition to selected variants of the recently introduced compact T3 Scara series, which prove their suitability as cost-effective all-rounders in pick-and-place applications, specialized G3 and LS Scara robots demonstrate their outstanding speed and precision in demanding scenarios. In addition, Epson robot controllers from the various RC series installed in the systems demonstrate their ability to control several machines independently of each other as well as to take on additional control tasks for the work cell. Six-axis robots from the N2, C4 and C8 series work in different applications, whereby a C8 robot with an Epson S250 force sensor module performs demanding joining operations. Volker Spanier, Head of Factory Automation for the EMEAR region, explains: "Customers place high demands on their automation tasks, and price is still an important argument. With our Scaras from the T3 series, we meet precisely these requirements, because with these products we have inexpensive all-rounders, without forgetting highly specialized requirements in terms of speed and precision. For these markets, we offer our customers the G3 and LS Scaras, which are technological leaders and are used successfully even in very demanding systems. In addition to the widest range of Scara robots available on the market, our six-axis robots from the N2, C4 and C8 series offer integrators and distributors a perfect solution for all automation tasks that do not have to be carried out exclusively parallel to a given work plane."
Users can choose between four different models in the Epson Scara portfolio: The G-series Scaras are suitable when precision, speed and vibration-free travel are the priority. The RS-Scaras are used in systems where optimum utilization of the available space is important, and the LS systems offer a balanced ratio of all requirements at reasonable prices. The T-Series rounds off the range as an all-rounder at a reasonable price.
With the S250 product series, Epson offers five force sensors based on the piezo principle that enable precise measurement of forces and torques. The series is primarily intended for use on six-axis robots, but is also suitable for the range of applications of the manufacturer's Scararobots. The new sensors are characterized by very high durability, accuracy as well as a lightweight and compact design and measure both forces and torques. Thanks to the high measuring accuracy of the sensors with sensitivities from 0.1 Newton, the new S250 sensors are also suitable for delicate tasks, for example in joining technology. as
