A Comparison of Epson Robot Kinematics

Linear axis system

Linear axis systems are the simplest kinematics, as they can be programmed as a 1:1 Cartesian co-ordinates system.Epson linear axes, with a reach of up to 1,000 mm and a payload of up to 80 kg offer sufcient scope for heavy, protruding parts as well.

Scara robot

Scara robots are particularly suitable for handling and/or assembling workpieces at parallel levels thanks to their resemblance to a human arm. Another advantage is that they only have to move a single axis in order to lift a part up.Above all else, Epson Scara robots will impress you with their diversity in addition to their speed and precision. Reach ranges from 250 mm up to 850 mm, a payload of up to 20 kg and several congurations; they are always an excellent choice, even for complex requirements.

6-axis robots

6-axis robots are the most exible because of their large number of degrees of freedom. As all axes are rotating, the robot has a nearly spherical working space around it.Epson 6-axis robots have been created for complex handling or assembly jobs using even small workpieces. Their high precision ensures that many complex working processes can be implemented reliably and quickly.
