EPSON RS-Series are SCARA robots plus a whole lot more:

  Speed - Nearly 20% faster than our G-Series (0.339 Sec Champion Cycle for RS3 models)
  Cycle Times - Unique new design reduces cycle times by allowing arm to move straight through "dead space" of other SCARA models. Let us show you how EPSON RS3 Cycles crush the competition
  Payload - Up to 3Kg for fast cycles with reasonable payloads
  Wide Variety - The RS-Series represents a unique new design for SCARA models. EPSON now offers over 200+ SCARA models.
  Work Envelope - Only EPSON offers FULL work envelope useability. No dead space. Can use pallets that normally require a SCARA with 700mm of reach or more.
  2 Lenths Available - RS-Series SCARA+ Robots are now offered in 350 and 550mm lengths.
  High Precision - Repeatabilities that you come to expect from EPSON
  Cleanroom Models - ISO 3 (Class 10) Clean/ESD models available
  Ease of Use - Industry leading EPSON RC+ significantly reduces development time vs. competitive products
  Low Cost - RS-Series Robots run on the low cost EPSON Micro PowerDrive RC180 Controller. Powerful controls at a great price.
  Advanced Power When Required - RS-Series Robots also run on the advanced RC620+ PC Based Controller. The industry leader in PC based controls.
  Fully Integrated Options - Vision Guidance, Conveyor Tracking, .NET Connectivity, Force Sensing, GUI Builder, DeviceNet, Profibus, EtherNet I/P, Additional I/O and more...

 

Unique New SCARA+ Design

The EPSON RS robots are a unique new SCARA design (what we call SCARA+) built to reduce cycle times and maximize work envelope usage. By designing the arm so that Joint 2 can go under Joint 1, the RS-Series robots utilizes the entire workspace underneath the arm. There is no dead space as with other SCARA models. This allows the RS3-351 model to work on pallets as large as 494mm x 494mm. A size which normally requires a 700mm SCARA arm or larger. Imagine now being able to use a 350mm arm for many of your applications that used to require 700mm arms. That would add up to quite a savings in terms of factory space.

On top of that, the RS's unique design improves cycle time vs. other "old" SCARA designs. The RS can move straight through the dead space to get to points vs. having to go around. This can reduce cycle time tremendously for many applications. Some as much as 20 or 25%.

With the ceiling mount design and 100% workspace utilization the RS is a great alternative to the thousands of cartesian and gantry style robots in factories today by providing more efficient footprints (sometimes cut in half) and far superior cycle times.

As the worldwide Industrial SCARA robot leader with hundreds of SCARA models available, EPSON is expected to bring the industry new technologies first and the RS-Series is just that. A new technology idea that is already saving our customers cycle time and tons of factory space.  

EPSON RS3 and RS4 SCARA+ 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 pace maker assembly to DNA testing or from chain saw assembly to tooth brush or hard drive assembly. 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.

 

 



RS3 Series Specifications

The EPSON RS3-Series SCARA robots lead the industry with best in class cycle time and "zero dead space" motion range. With faster cycle times and tiny footprints, our RS3 SCARA robots are an ideal alternative for cartesian or gantry style robots in many factories today.

EPSON RS3 SCARA models are ideally suited for applications that require a very small footprint, demanding cycle times, high precision and high reliability such as hard disk assembly, lab automation, electronics, medical device assembly, photonics, semiconductor, telecommunications and many others.

RS4 Series Specifications

EPSON RS4 SCARA+ Robot The EPSON RS4 SCARA+ robots, like the RS3, lead the industry in "zero dead space" motion range. With faster cycle times and tiny footprints, our RS4 SCARA robots are an ideal alternative for cartesian or gantry style robots in many factories today. The RS4 has a 550mm reach which when combined with the unique motion range of the RS-Series robots allows our RS4-55x robots to handle jobs that previously may have required 700 or 800mm reach robots. And with the ability to move under itself cycle times can be significantly reduced as well.

EPSON RS4 SCARA models are ideally suited for applications that require a very small footprint, demanding cycle times, high precision and high reliability such as hard disk assembly, lab automation, electronics, medical device assembly, photonics, semiconductor, telecommunications and many others.
