     What:  
      
              Robots Showcase


            
      
              6-Axis Robots




              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. With
                a unique ability to fold under
                themselves, these robots reduce
                intermediate points and shorten cycle
                times, providing the ultimate in
                motion and workspace efficiency. The
                Flexion N6 will demonstrate expertise
                in material handling and fulfillment
                center package processing.




            
      
              SCARA Robots




              The T3 All-in-One SCARA robot,
                offered at the ultra-low cost of
                $7,495, will demonstrate a vision-
                guided pick and place/sorting
                application, and the T6 All-in-One
                SCARA robot, available at the ultra-
                low cost of $9,495 will be on display
                as an interactive product demo. These
                robots feature a unique all-in-one
                design with a built-in controller
                and power for end-of-arm tooling
                and provide the perfect way to
                automate factories without wasting
                time or money on expensive, complex,
                slide-based solutions.




              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.




                          Integrated Solutions




              The two IntelliFlex Feeding System
                solutions, powered by Epson Robots'
                IntelliFlex Software and Vision
                Guide, will demonstrate a high-speed
                kitting flexible feeding application.
                Epson's IntelliFlex Feeding solutions
                deliver simplistic and affordable
                feeding solutions that are innovative
                alternatives to the bowl and flexible
                feeder solutions available in the
                market today.




              The C4 6-Axis robot will be shown
                with Epson Force Guide, an intuitive
                robot force guidance system for high
                precision performance. Powered by
                proprietary Epson Quartz Technology,
                it enables Epson robots to detect six
                axes of force with precision down to
                0.1 N. Driven by real-time servo
                system integration, Force Guide
                delivers fast, tactile feedback to
                guide robots for high-precision
                parts placement.
