With our Industry Leading PC based controls, our customers have asked for more arm solutions so that they can use 1 core controller with many different arm types for their factories. Adding EPSON EZ modules was the natural next step. Combined with the EPSON RC+ PC Based Controller, EPSON EZ modules are the ultimate in ease of use but at the same time our high performance servo system helps drive EZ modules to maximum speeds, maximum throughput and the overall maximum performance possible. With 1, 2, 3 and 4 axis solutions we have the simple or sophisticated configuration available to fit your specific requirements. Our RC520 PC Based Controller is capable of controlling up to 12 EZ module Axes so it's easy to begin imagining the vast possibilities.

Standard sizes are available from 400-1000mm for the 1st Axis, and 350-750mm for Axis #2 with 200-400mm strokes available for the Z axis (Axis #3). If these sizes don't fit your needs be sure to ask us about the size requirements for your specific application. Add to that payloads of up to 80Kg for single axes, 25Kg for 2 axis configurations, 15Kg for 3 axis configurations, and 10Kg for 4 Axis configurations and you've got a robust solution which also has the speed and controls capabilities to take on even the most challenging of applications. EPSON EZ Modules are already taking off with factories all over North America. Let us help you solve your manufacturing problems with the ultimate solution in flexibility combined with the power of PC based controls. Take a look at our new EZ Modules product line or better yet give us a call and we'll be glad to review how our new EZ Modules Modular Axes can help with your specific automation task.

Robot customers look for products that perform at full speeds with maximum performance 24/7. EPSON Robots deliver. Our EPSON E2 Robots are the next generation SCARA robots designed for maximum speed, maximum throughput, maximum controls capability, and maximum ease of use. Our E2 series Robots provide more speed, better repeat abilities more mounting configurations, and more variety than ever before so that you can select the right robot for the job. Why settle for anything less.

With cycle times down to 0.38 seconds and repeat abilities down to 8 microns you are sure to find an E2 model to fit the needs of your specific application. Our recent addition of the E2H853 robots to the E2 lineup now brings our selection to over 36 different models to choose from in 250, 350, 450, 550, 650 and 850mm models.

From 8 micron repeat abilities to 20Kg payloads, EPSON has it all!

E2 Robots are the perfect choice for applications such as: hard disk assembly, electronics assembly, fiber optics assembly, machine loading, and material handling to name a few. Our class 10 cleanroom models are now also ESD compliant, and we have broadened our offering of multi-mount configurations to include wall mount, upside down and shelf mount capabilities for our E2C (E2C351) and E2S (E2S45x, 55x and 65x) models. With all these different configurations available we are constantly finding new applications to help manufacturers save time and improve the quality of their manufacturing process. Take a look at our product line or better yet give us a call and we'll be glad to review how our E2 Robots can help with your specific automation task.

The EPSON Pro Six family of 6-axis robots provide superior performance along with our industry leading PC based controls. Whether you are looking for high speed, low vibration, higher payloads, more reach, or robots for special environment use, EPSON has the Pro Six model to fit your application requirements. The rigid arm designs combined with advanced EPSON servo control technology results in high speed motion and low vibration even when high precision high speed cycles are required. All Pro Six 6-Axis robots feature brakes on all axes and most models have the flexibility of being mounted in table top, wall or ceiling configurations.

The EPSON Pro Six 6-axis robots use the same industry leading EPSON RC520 PC based controller that controls our popular E2 Series Robots (SCARA) and EPSON EZ Modules (Linear Modules) thus allowing customers to take advantage of one controls solution for their entire factory. Plus, EPSON RC+ is extremely easy to learn and use due to the intuitive design and multitude of time saving features and capabilities. The power and flexibility of the EPSON RC520 PC based controller also reduces workcell integration by providing all the functionality normally required for a typical robot workcell in one compact package.

EPSON Pro Six Robots are ideal for applications where 6 axis dexterity is required such as: small parts assembly, dispensing, lab automation, machine tending, material handling, medical device manufacturing, packaging, food handling and many other applications requiring speed, precision and/or smooth motion.

EPSON recognizes that different applications require different levels of controls capabilities and therefore offers a 3 tiered controller lineup. This allows customers the ability to select the right controller for the job. EPSON is an industry leader in the area of PC based controls for Industrial Robots and Workcell Control with our RC520 and RC420 PC based controls. The RC520 offers power and tremendous expandability while the RC420 offers power and flexibility in a more compact form factor. Rounding out our 3 tiered controls approach is our Micro PowerDrive (RC170) controller which provides great performance at a value price.

Regardless of which controller you select, all EPSON robots come with our easy to learn and use EPSON RC+ Control Software. The EPSON RC+ Development Environment has all the features you would expect in an advanced Control System. With features such as 32 task multi-tasking, real time scheduling, integrated source level multi-task debugger, color syntax checking editor, control of multiple robots from one controller, variable data types and more, EPSON RC+ is a favorite among power users that need to get their applications finished fast. At the same time, beginning or novice users also like our EPSON RC+ controls software due to its simplicity and intuitive interface that is quite simply the easiest robot control software to learn and use.

With our powerful yet easy to use 3 tiered controller lineup it is easy to find the controls solution needed for a variety of robot applications. Take a look at our PC based controllers (RC420 & RC520) as well as low cost yet powerful Micro PowerDrive controller then give us a call and we'll be glad to review how our EPSON Robots combined with our powerful controls can help solve your specific automation task.

Like modern robots, machine vision is a technology that has also benefited greatly by the advances in computer hardware and software. Linking robots and vision systems together, gives users the ability to inspect a workpiece and guide the robot based on the machine vision feedback. Rather than re-inventing existing technology, EPSON's philosophy is to make use of "Best in Class" automation solutions. Our challenge is then to integrate them with our robots in a seamless and easy to use fashion. Vision Guide 4.0 is EPSON's state-of-the-art solution for robot guidance and inspection.

Vision Guide 4.0 makes use of the Matrox Vision Tools along with some of our own as well. The heart of Vision Guide comes from a combination of Matrox Vision Tools along with some additional Vision Tools from EPSON. These powerful tools were then packaged within EPSON RC+ with a unique graphical based programming environment that makes the tools both easy to learn and easy to use. In fact our typical applications take days vs. the weeks normally required to develop similar applications.
