LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

     Who:     Epson America, Inc., will be
               participating in the upcoming Pack
               Expo show in Las Vegas with two
               booths to demonstrate its leading
               technology solutions for the
               packaging market.




     What:               Robots Showcase, booth # LS-5989


            
     
              6-Axis Robots




              Thanks to their SlimLine design, Epson
               6-Axis robots can save on valuable
               factory floor space and fit where
               other robots cannot - with no
               compromise to performance, speed and
               reach. The 6-Axis robots can reach
               into confined workspaces from many
               angles with ultra-smooth motion,
               making them ideal for packaging
               applications.




              The VT6L All-in-One 6-Axis robot,
               the latest entry level offering with
               a 6kg payload and 900mm reach,
               features groundbreaking technology at
               an ultra-low cost of $13,900. It is
               ideal for simple applications such as
               load/unload, packaging and parts
               assembly.




              The award-winning N-series 6-Axis
               robots feature the world's first
               compact folding arm technology
               providing the optimum in motion and
               workspace efficiency. The N-series
               demos will show expertise in material
               handling and fulfillment center
               package processing.




                         Integrated Parts Feeding Solution


              Shown with a high speed Epson RS3
               SCARA robot, the IntelliFlex(TM)
               Feeding System, powered by Epson
               Robots' IntelliFlex Software and
               Vision Guide, delivers a simplistic
               and affordable feeding solution and
               is an innovative alternative to bowl
               and flexible feeder solutions
               available in the market today. The
               IntelliFlex System will be
               demonstrated in a high-speed kitting
               flexible feeding application.




            
     
              SCARA Robots


              The T3 All-in-One SCARA robot will
               be shown in a vision-guided pick and
               place/sorting application. At the
               low price of $7,495, it's the perfect
               way to automate factories without
               wasting time or money on expensive,
               complex, slide-based solutions. It
               features a unique All-in-One design
               with built-in controller and power
               for end-of-arm tooling.




              Ideal for heavy payload applications,
               the new LS10-B SCARA robot will show
               how well it performs automotive
               quality inspection. As a refresh to
               the current LS-series, it offers
               notable new and improved features
               including faster cycle times, a lower
               cable duct profile, ideal for hard to
               reach work cell layouts, built-in
               camera cable for easy vision system
               setup, new top-of-arm layout for
               enhanced usability, and a batteryless
               encoder to minimize downtime and
               reduce overall cost of ownership.
