Key Features

These new robots are easy to install, thus promote fast integration. They can be installed in minutes, unlike complex linear-slide systems, and require less time and money for system integration.

They tout value without compromise as they  include the same intuitive software, powerful features and reliability found in Epson’s high-end robots while helping to keep the total cost of ownership low.

These robots are equipped standard with 110V and 220V power, thus promotes low wattage and power consumption. They require no special panel or plug.

A built-in power for end-of-arm tooling eliminates the need for an external power source.

No battery is required for encoder, thus minimizes downtime and reduces overall cost of ownership.

Other integrated options are also available, like teach pendant, field bus master and slave interface boards, including EtherNet/IP and add on instructions for easy integration with Allen Bradley PLCs.
