Unique and Advantageous
A unique four-axis design makes the Epson Spider extremely compact and incredibly fast. Its outstanding precision means it can reach 100% of the positions in its action field, offering you everything you need for efficient production.
Closing the gap
The tool axis is positioned centrally over the production area, allowing the Epson Spider to reach with "short cut’"movements, every point of the cylindrical work area directly, whilst requiring very little space. In conventional SCARA robots, the work area design is kidney shaped, known as "dead space" and an outward robot arm orientation means that travel paths are longer. The Epson Spider does not have any dead space, resulting in more efficient and productive travel paths.
Benefits at a glance
- Short cycle times
- Overlapping working ranges, no dead zones
- Compact, ideal for confined workspaces
- Outstanding joining properties
- High insertion forces
- Excellent repeatability
- Intuitive direct teaching
- Reduced maintenance effort; durability
- High operational reliability
Increased productivity with less space required
Overhead mounting
The independent mounting base, common in most SCARA robots, is no longer an obstacle with Epson Spider robots, eliminating the "dead zone". The second horizontal base axis has an inward orientation, enabling the zero position to be traversed to give maximum agility in confined environments.
Internal wiring
Increases the working range of the two horizontal base axes to 450°, allowing the working ranges to be overlapped. At the same time a position can be approached in up to four arm-orientations.
Cylindrical shape working range
Both horizontal base axes have the same arm length so they can reach the zero point of the tool axis, allow a perfect cylindrically working range.
Ideal for production lines
Avoid expensive idling of systems and benefit from quick conversion of production lines for new products, flexible adaptation of the system to market segment and easy connection to existing work cells. The Epson Spider is perfectly suited to an economic and flexible cell design with integrated work processes.
