Epson T-B Series All-in-One SCARA Robots with Built-in Controller (T3-B, T6-B)

The Epson T-B Series All-in-One SCARA robots integrate motion servo amplifiers, computing controller hardware, and power electronics directly into the mechanical robot base.

Requiring no external control cabinet or complex umbilical cabling, T-B robots run off standard single-phase 100–240V AC power, serving as a flexible, software-programmable drop-in replacement for rigid pneumatic slides and multi-axis Cartesian gantries.

• Integrated base-mounted controller architecture completely eliminates the need for an external electrical cabinet
• Direct 100–240V AC single-phase operation simplifies cell electrical wiring and slashes integration labor
• Available in T3-B (3 kg payload, 400 mm reach) and T6-B (6 kg payload, 600 mm reach) configurations

Epson RS Series 360-Degree Ceiling-Mount Zero-Footprint SCARA Robots (RS3, RS4)

The Epson RS Series breaks conventional SCARA design limitations through an innovative overhead ceiling-mount architecture and folding articulated arm kinematics.

By enabling joint axis J1 to rotate a full 360 degrees and allowing the second arm to maneuver underneath itself, the RS3 and RS4 access every coordinate within their cylindrical work volume, eliminating the central dead zone inherent to standard floor-mount SCARAs.

• Innovative arm folding kinematics provides complete coverage across a full cylindrical envelope up to 550 mm radius
• Zero center dead zone enables placement of fixtures, feeders, and conveyors directly below the robot mounting base
• Offered in RS3 (3 kg payload, 350 mm reach) and RS4 (4 kg payload, 550 mm reach) for dense automated cell layouts
• Dramatically reduces factory floor footprint requirements by up to 40% compared to floor-mounted setups

Epson C Series SlimLine 6-Axis Articulated Industrial Robots (C4, C8, C8L, C12XL)

Epson C Series 6-axis articulated robots unite multi-directional kinematic dexterity with industry-leading cycle velocity and an ultra-slim footprint.

Featuring Epson's proprietary SlimLine wrist and compact elbow contours, C4, C8, C8L, C8XL, and C12XL manipulators easily reach into cramped machinery cavities, injection molding tools, and CNC machining centers without colliding with surrounding safety guards or toolholders.

• Reach envelopes from 600 mm to 1400 mm with payloads up to 12 kg for complex 3D contouring and handling tasks
• SlimLine wrist geometry and minimized elbow interference radius enable deep reach into tight tooling cavities
• Ultra-high joint velocities across all 6 axes with optimized trajectory smoothing for fast transition moves
