Epson Robots will demonstrate its lineup of robots at The Assembly Show later this month at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center located in Rosemont, Ill.
The demand for simple-to-use, adaptable and dependable solutions is increasing as more manufacturers turn to automation for day-to-day operations, the company said.
To address the need for flexible and high-end automation services, Epson said it will present robotic solutions that help companies improve production costs, throughput, and overall quality.
A founding exhibitor of The Assembly Show, Epson Robots is taking part in its 10th anniversary, with the following presentations:

More details about each demo
Compact, High-Precision SCARA Robots – The Epson GX4 and GX8 SCARA robots offer high throughput, smooth motion control, and heavy payloads with advanced Epson GYROPLUS Technology. Offering multiple arm configurations, a 250 to 350 mm (98-18 in.) reach with the GX4 and a 450-650 mm reach with the GX8, the robots can achieve ultra-high precision in applications such as assembly, pick-and-place, and intricate small-parts handling. The GX4 can handle payloads up to 4 kg (8 lb.) and the GX8 can handle up to 8 kg (17 lb.), both from a small form factor. Equipped with Epson RC+ or RC+ Express application development software, the GX SCARA robots offer ultimate ease of use for complex robotic solutions.
High-Performance Parts-Feeding Solution – This demo will showcase the IntelliFlex Feeding System and Vision Guide with Epson RS-Series SCARA robots. Featuring dual IntelliFlex 240 parts feeders, this system demonstrates a pick-and-place operation with multiple feeders and multiple components per feeder, illustrating the ultimate in flexibility of the system. The IntelliFlex lineup has four feeder sizes and can handle a variety of parts from 3 to 150mm (.11 to 5.9 in) to with optional anti-roll, anti-stick, and medical-grade tray configurations.
VT6L All-in-One 6-Axis Robot – The VT6L All-in-One 6-Axis robot offers a solution for simple pick and place automation. With a reach of 900 mm (35 in.) and payload of up to 6 kg (13 lb.) it uses a space-saving, built-in controller, can run on 110 or 200V or as a DC-powered mobile version, and features a hollow end-of-arm design and optional pre-engineered cable mounting brackets for simplified cable management. The VT6L can be operated with no-code, easy-to-use Epson RC+ Express visual development software to implement robotic automation solutions quickly and efficiently.
T-B Series All-in-One SCARA Robot – The T-B Series All-in-One SCARA robot offers fast, easy integration and installs in minutes. With a built-in controller, 110 V or 220 V power and no battery required for the encoder, the T-B Series allows for quick development and simplified maintenance. The T3-B will be shown with Epson's Vision Guide to demonstrate inspection together with a pick-and-place application.
