Epson America Inc. announced today that the GX10B and GX20B, larger models in its GX-B series of SCARA robots, are now available through its channel distributor partners. The Los Alamitos, Calif.-based company said its latest systems deliver performance, safety, and flexibility for the medical device, electronics, and consumer electronics markets.<\/p>\n

“The latest GX-B Series is our most advanced lineup to date, enabling integrators to meet a wider range of customer needs with high-performing, reliable solutions that fit seamlessly into workflows for a range of industries,” said Scott Marsic<\/span>, group product manager at Epson America, in a release<\/a><\/span>. “These new SCARA robots are powerful, automation solutions with a low total cost of ownership, expanding opportunities for our partners.”<\/p>\n

Epson America is the regional headquarters of Japan-based Seiko Epson Corp., which said<\/a> it generates annual sales of more than JPY 1 trillion ($6.9 billion U.S.). Epson Robots<\/a> has more than four decades of experience in systems for assembly and materials handling. It has sold more than 150,00 units worldwide, including SCARA<\/a> and six-axis robots using a common PC-based platform.<\/p>\n

GX10B and GX20B built for high payloads, throughput<\/h2>\n

Epson Robots said it has engineered the new GX-B models<\/a> to help users easily develop automation for demanding manufacturing tasks. The GX10B and GX20B offer multiple arm configurations that can handle payloads up to 10 and 20 kg (22 and 44 lb.), respectively, and high throughput, it said.<\/p>\n

For ease of programming, the company said its GX-B Series robots integrate with the Epson RC+ <\/sup>industrial Automation Development Software<\/a>. They also use GYROPLUS<\/a> vibration-reduction technology to provide fast production speeds, smooth motion control, and fast settling times, according to Epson.<\/p>\n

The new SCARA robots use the RC700E next-generation motion controller to improve productivity, it added. Epson noted that the GX-B Series includes industrial-rated safety features.<\/p>\n

In October 2023, the company previously announced<\/a> the GX4B and GX8B robots, which had similar options to the larger models. <\/p>\n
