GX-C series SCARA robots offer high precision and flexibility for demanding automation applications.
Epson Robots has added the GX-C Series to its SCARA lineup, featuring the RC800A controller with SafeSense technology. The series includes the GX4C, GX8C, GX10C, and GX20C models. Drawing on decades of automation experience, including use in Epson’s own electronics production, the GX-C Series offers compact SCARA robots designed to support current automation requirements.
The GX-C Series provides various arm configurations to support productivity and safety while maintaining a compact design. It includes GYROPLUS vibration reduction technology for smoother motion and quicker settling times, and comes with Epson RC+ 8.0, the latest version of the company’s software development platform.
RC800A controller with SafeSense technology
The RC800A robot controller includes industrial safety features and supports efficient runtime, recovery, and error handling. It offers improved power efficiency compared to previous models and includes safety-rated speed and position monitoring. When used with an appropriate risk assessment, it allows human-robot interaction without a safety fence, potentially reducing system footprint and cost. The controller also supports faster access for routine operations and maintenance and comes with Epson RC+ software to assist with programming and automation tasks.
Additional GX-C Series features include:
- Ultra-high performance and flexibility – high throughput with max-rated payloads and multiple arm configurations to accomplish the most demanding assembly needs
- Fast cycle times – high acceleration, smooth motion and fast settling times help maximize throughput with proprietary GYROPLUS vibration reduction system, plus no ringing or overshoot1
- Ultimate ease of use – intuitive and feature-packed Epson RC+ development software helps create powerful solutions with a simple user interface, integrated debugger and advanced 3D simulator
- Designed for reliability – innovative, compact design handles max-rated workloads at fast speeds and high precision within a small footprint
