Epson innovation
Six-axle vehicle for direct current operation
With its new VT6-A901S-DC, Epson presents a six-axis robot designed for operation with direct current.
The robot has the same specifications as the AC version, such as a load capacity of 3/6 kilograms and a reach of 900 millimetres. The VT6-A901S-DC is therefore particularly suitable for use in all environments where only a DC power supply is available.
One possible application was demonstrated at Irex 2020, in which this new robot, mounted on an autonomously moving base, performed logistics tasks, such as picking and packing shipments. The application covered an area measuring around four by five meters, within which the machine approached any points and collected parts. This robot is available immediately.
Further innovations in the portfolio
Also new and available immediately is a six-axis C-series robot with a 140-centimeter operating radius and a load capacity of twelve kilograms. Epson is thus expanding its range of vertically articulated robots and now also offers medium-sized systems.
Also new and immediately available is the "Epson Robot Management System" (Epson RMS) software package, which enables users to easily monitor all installed Epson robots (maximum 200 units) including associated options such as Epson feeders, conveyor tracking, vision and others. With the solution, users always have control and a precise overview of the status of their automation systems, so that systems work more reliably and faults can be rectified more quickly if necessary. as
