ANNOUNCES NEW C4/C4L 6-Axis Robots
EPSON
C4/C4L 6-Axis Robots – More payload and faster speeds
Carson, CA
– Augst 6, 2013 – EPSON
Robots, a global leader in advanced robotic technology, introduces
the new Epson C4 and C4L compact 6-Axis robots. With faster speeds
and more payload capability while keeping the SlimLine design,
Epson C4 and C4L robots provide superior performance for even the
most demanding and complex applications.
“Our Epson C3 robots have been
well received in the industry and are being applied to a wide
variety of applications in the Medical, Automotive, Electronics,
Consumer Products and other industries” stated Michael Ferrara,
Director of Epson Robots. “The new C4 arms extend the
capabilities of the C3 by adding more speed and payload while
maintaining the unique SlimLine design originally provided with
the C3 arms. Also, an extended reach C4 called the C4L has been
added to our product lineup providing up to 965mm of reach. As
with the C3, the SlimLine design of the C4/C4L robots provides
exceptionally advanced flexibility.” The slim body and compact
wrist design allows for greater motion range and less mechanical
restrictions. The robots can easily reach into confined and
restricted work spaces from many angles with smooth motion not
achievable with similar sized competitive models.
With the
ability to maximize part throughput for even the most demanding
cycle time requirements, C4 robots are some of the fastest compact
6-axis arms available in the industry. The tight integration of
powerful motors and amplifiers along with ultra high resolution
feedback and superior controls provide unmatched motion
performance including higher acceleration and deceleration rates
as well as advanced linear interpolated motion.
Designed
for maximum performance, C4 robots use high quality components to
achieve high rigidity in a light weight arm. Through Epson’s
unique QMEMS(TM) vibration sensing technology, C4/C4L arms are
able to automatically adjust to minimize vibration and maximize
speed and accel/decel rates. This translates to faster cycle times
even with heavier payloads as compared to other compact 6-axis
models.
Epson
C4/C4L robots come with our new RC700 controller and provide the
ultimate experience in ease of use, power and reliability. In
addition, the RC700 controller also provides our industry leading
Epson RC+ Controls software and lots of fully integrated options
such as: Vision Guidance, .Net support, Conveyor Tracking, GUI
Builder, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus and much more. All this
at an incredible price! Why
choose a low performance solution when you can have a high
performance Epson C4/C4L with RC700 Controller?
Epson C4/C4L robots are ideal for small parts assembly,
dispensing, lab automation, medical device assembly, machine
tending, material handling, packaging, electronics and many other
applications.
