Robot manufacturer, Epson Robots, will show attendees simulated demos of its range of robots during the Automation Technology show, ATX West.
More information on the robots which will be showcased during the event is below.
All-in-One 6-Axis and SCARA robots
The latest entry-level, low cost ($13,900) award-winning VT6L All-in-One 6-Axis robot comes with a built-in controller, a 900mm reach and payload of up to 6kg, and offers 110 V and 220 V power. This robot will show a simple pick-and-place operation illustrating how it can handle larger end-of-arm tooling for dual pick applications. This robot is suitable for simple parts transfer automation including loading and unloading, packaging and parts assembly.
The T-Series robots offer the perfect way to automate factories without wasting time or money on expensive, complex, slide-based solutions. The latest low cost ($9,495) T6 All-in-One SCARA robot will demonstrate simulating an automation cell for dispensing adhesives. It features a space-saving built-in controller and power for end-of-arm tooling, as well as a reach of 600mm and a payload of up to 6kg.
Innovative parts feeding solutions
Epson’s IntelliFlex Feeding Systems aim to deliver simplistic and affordable feeding solutions that are innovative alternatives to the bowl and flexible feeder solutions available on the market today. The integration of Epson robots, feeder and vision systems into a single development environment dramatically reduces development time, giving manufacturers operational efficiency with quick part changeovers. The line up now includes two versions, the IntelliFlex 240 (support parts from 5 to 40mm) and IntelliFlex 530 (supports parts from 30 -150 mm).
Show attendees can also test their parts at the IntelliFlex Feeding System interactive station.
The IntelliFlex 240 Feeding System with ultra-low cost ($7,495) T3 All-in-One SCARA robot will demonstrate easy part set up and changeover.
The IntelliFlex 530 Feeding System with the G6 SCARA robot will demonstrate a high-speed palletising flexible feeding application. The IntelliFlex Feeding System also accommodates two feeder single robot applications as shown by the RS3 SCARA robot using two IntelliFlex 240 Feeding Systems in a high-speed kitting flexible feeding application.
Force Guide with C4 6-Axis robot
The flexible and compact C4 6-Axis robot will be shown with Epson Force Guide, an intuitive robot force guidance system that claims to be easy to set up and features a point-and-click interface with pre-configured solutions and built-in-objects, which help to reduce the development time for precision applications. With outstanding flexibility, the C4 robot is suitable for big jobs in tiny spaces and can be used for a wide variety of applications ranging from blood sample handling to DNA testing, or from instrument panel assembly to medical instrument kitting.
Epson will be on booth 4211 at ATX West from 11th to 13th February at Anaheim Convention Center.
