Epson RS6C SCARA Robot

Overview

Epson RS—maximize working volume and minimize footprint

Built upon four decades of expertise in implementing automation in our own manufacturing, RS-C Series SCARA robots are designed to deliver next-level performance and flexibility in an extremely compact footprint. RS-C robots feature GYROPLUS™ vibration reduction technology that helps optimize workcell throughput by enabling smooth motions and fast settling times.

Engineered to meet unique automation needs, the RS6C features a unique “zero-footprint” ceiling-mount design that enables access to the area under the arm, eliminating any dead space. This allows for a greater working volume versus traditional SCARA robots with comparable reach. In addition, the robot offers multiple arm configurations and a 550 mm reach to accomplish the most demanding tasks with high precision. Its innovative, extremely compact design easily integrates into cleanroom (ISO3)1/ESD environments and handles payloads of up to 6 kg. Combined with SafeSense™ technology, which can potentially remove the need for physical safety barriers with a proper risk assessment, users can reduce the footprint and overall cost of their robot automation system.

Designed for ease of use, Epson RC+® development software works seamlessly with the RS6C to create powerful automation solutions and offers integrated options to simplify the most complex applications. Fully integrated, optional solutions—including vision guidance, part feeding, force guidance, conveyor tracking and fieldbus—accelerate the development of workcell applications, helping to save valuable time and money. The Epson RC+ Solutions Platform allows for seamless expansion of third-party solutions, benefiting both developers and end users.
