EPSON Robots have announced the release of their LS-3 Robot to the SCARA line up. The EPSON LS-3 SCARA robots have been created with reduced cost in mind. A wide variety of low cost technologies including the new RC90 controller are used with the LS-3 robots, however, the EPSON LS-3 robots still offer the same performance and reliability. Everything from high performance motion control with the PowerDrive Technology to integrated options such as Vision Guide, .Net connectivity, DeviceNet, Profibus, and more is available with the LS-3 robots. With outstanding flexibility, EPSON LS-3 robots were made for users that need Epson quality at a reduced price.

The EPSON LS-3 cycle times are down to 0.46 seconds which provides plenty of speed for most applications. The arm length is 400mm (J1+J2) which allows an LS-3 to handle pallet sizes up to 239.5 x 239.5mm in size. Clean room models are also available (ISO4) for medical, semiconductor, and other particle sensitive applications.

EPSON LS-3 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 simple pick and place to assembly of products such as chain saws, toothbrushes, and more.

EPSON RS3 Robot

EPSON Robots

The EPSON RS robots are a unique new SCARA design built to reduce cycle times and maximize work envelope usage. By designing the arm so that Joint 2 can go under Joint 1, the RS3 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. Speed - Nearly 20% faster than our G-Series (0.339 Sec Champion Cycle). 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 RS3 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. 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 - RS3-Series Robots run on the low cost EPSON Micro PowerDrive RC170 Controller. Powerful controls at a great price. Fully Integrated Options - Vision Guidance, .NET Connectivity, DeviceNet, Profibus, Additional I/O and more.
