The Leader in Compact 6-Axis Robots

The EPSON C3 compact 6-Axis robots just set the new standard for small sized 6-axis robot performance. As the leader in compact 6-Axis robots, our new C3 design includes a unique compact wrist pitch as well as a slim body elbow design. With outstanding flexibility, EPSON C3 robots were made for big jobs in tiny spaces. Our goal was to build a robust robot in a compact shell capable of meeting EPSON's high performance standards. The new EPSON C3 did all that and more.

The EPSON C3 cycle times are down to 0.37 seconds which is faster than many competitors SCARA models. All 6 joints on the C3 are on average 32.4% faster than equivalent competitor models in its' class. The C3's footprint to motion range ratio is in a class by itself and the outstanding flexibility allows EPSON robots to do jobs that other small 6 axis arms simply cannot do (or that take much more cycle time to complete).

How do we do it? Our slimline body and compact wrist design enable grater motion range and less mechanical restrictions than comparably sized models. In addition larger motors and superior servo controls allow for fast yet precise motion control which means smoother motion for your next application. In addition EPSON acceleration/deceleration rates are provide fast motion on a smooth path. .

EPSON C3 compact 6-axis robots are ideally suited for the Lab Automation, Medical, Consumer, Food, Automotive, Electronics, PC Peripheral, Semiconductor, Plastics, Appliance and Aerospace industries. They can be used for a wide variety of applications ranging from blood sample handling to DNA testing or from instrument panel assembly to medical instrument kitting. There are tens of thousands of different applications that these robots can handle. Give us a call and let us help you with your next application.
