Material handling robot supports up to six kilos

EPSON HAS begun a global rollout of its T6 robot. The SCARA robots have a built-in controller and are designed for maximum simplicity of installation and usability, lower the barriers to automation on the customer’s end and are perfect for automating simple material handling tasks.

The T6, a brawnier version of the popular T3, boosts productivity by handling payloads up to 6 kg, making it ideal for customers who want to use a T series robot to transport larger, heavier parts or to carry multiple parts at one time.

T SERIES APPLICATIONS

Automation of test machine loading/unloading and other simple processes that previously relied on people because automation did not make financial sense.

T series robots can be used instead of multiple low- cost single-axis robots that take up a lot of space and require troublesome adjustment and maintenance work. Users will save space, reduce setup time, and minimise downtime.

T SERIES FEATURES

Built- in controller that saves space and simplifies robot set- up and redeployment.

The integrated controller eliminates the need for controller setup and cable routing, making system setup and redeployment much faster and easier.

With a separate controller no longer taking up space, the entire robotic system is more compact, allowing manufacturers to use their factory f loor space more efficiently and productively.

Batteryless motor unit that reduces maintenance and manufacturing line downtime. Batteryless motors mean that users will never need to buy, replace, and dispose of old motor batteries. Users can sharply reduce running costs and line downtime.

I/O ports for end- effectors that simplify cabling. The end- effector I/O ports are provided near the end of the robot arm and supplied with 24 V power. These ports make set- up easier by simplifying cabling, power, and other connections to the end- effector.

Shorter cable duct that improves stability. The robot is designed with a shorter cable duct at the top of the robot. The shorter duct remains stable, with lit tle vibration, even during robot operation, and cabling can easily be routed through the duct.

5. Support for AC100V to 240V single- phase power, and 50 percent higher energy efficiency.

While robots in Epson’s LS series support 200 VAC to 240 VAC single-phase power, the T series can run off anything from 100 VAC to 240 VAC single-phase power. T series robots can thus be installed in laboratories and other places where only 100 VAC is available. These robots also offer outstanding energy performance, consuming 50 percent less electricity than earlier models thanks to more efficient use of power (e.g., heating and power factor).
