November 8, 2010 - EPSON Robots introduces the RS4 Robots. The RS4 is a long reach, zero footprint robot, featuring all the benefits of a typical SCARA. With the ability to maneuver under itself for the shortest movements possible instead of having to move around itself, the EPSON RS4 delivers superior cycle rates. This means more parts processed in less time. The RS4 is literally a zero footprint robot, thus saving customers valuable floor space through easy integration into compact assembly cells.
Furthermore, the unique work envelope allows for design flexibility with over 450 degrees of axis rotation for omni directional access. RS4 robots are available with either the PC Based RC620+ controller or a high performance Micro PowerDrive RC180 controller. The EPSON True PC Based RC620+ controller provides the power and flexibility of an open architecture solution that EPSON PC based controls are famous for. The Micro PowerDrive RC180 controller provides a compact size, and reliable solution at a low cost.
Both controllers provide ease of use with powerful RC+ Controls software and lots of fully integrated options such as: Vision Guidance, .Net support, Profibus, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and much much more.
