March 11, 2010 - EPSON Robots introduces G1 Mini SCARA Robots. The robots are available in arm reaches of 175 or 225mm. They are also available in Clean & ESD compliant configurations. 225mm G1 robot arms can handle many applications with large working range requirements that other robots need 250mm of reach to handle, thus saving valuable floor space. Both 3 and 4 axis models are available.
The 3-axis models allow for press fit screw tightening and linear dispensing applications. Micro PowerDrive RC180 Controller comes standard with G1 Mini SCARA robots. The RC180 has RC+ Controls software and supports Vision Guidance, .Net, Profibus, DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP. With the addition of G1 Mini SCARA robots, EPSON now offers 200+ G-Series SCARA robots, ranging from 175mm to 1,000mm in reach and up to 20Kg payloads.
EPSON G1 robots are ideally suited for applications and industries which require high precision assembly of small components, demanding cycle times and compact production lines.
