Cylindrical Workspace
Extremely compact, flexible, and ideal for narrow production cells The Epson Spider is a new species of SCARA robots. These 4-axis robots designed like a human arm work on horizontal planes and are ideal for fast pick-and-place applications and assembly processes. Apart from that, the Spider combines all advantages of the high-performance Epson SCARA robots. Among them are outstanding cycle times and joining properties, high insertion forces and rigidities, superb repeatability and an excellent deadload–payload ratio. It is the first and only SCARA robot with a perfectly cylindrical envelope. Thanks to that, the impressively productive spider can reach all positions of its area of activity (100%) and also convinces with short cycle times. Reach (mm): 350 Payload (nom./max.) (KG):1/3 {bMax. square envelope: 495 x 495 mm Max. motion range (Ø): 700 mm Pallet size: e.g. 400 x 600 mm} Spider — specific advantages • Short cycle times • Ceiling mounting • No dead spaces • Internal orientation • Overlapping envelope • Short cut {b“Inherited” SCARA robot advantages} • Outstanding joining properties • High insertion forces • High rigidity • Superb repeatability • Intuitive direct teaching • Low maintenance effort • High operational safety • Longevity • High operational availability The Epson Spider RS3 is controlled selectively via the Epson RC180, the smallest and lightest controller in its performance class on the market, or with the PC-based multi-manipulator master controller RC620. Manipulator-Options - Longer motor and signal cables (5m/10m/20m) - Tool adapter for the easy installation of end effectors on the Z axis - Internal wiring unit leading 15 electric wires and 2 pneumatic lines within the manipulator to the end effector
