High-end six-axis robots offer a choice of 18 configurations

Epson has launched a series of high-performance, six-axis industrial robots designed to deliver high precision, short cycle times and good reliability in manufacturing and logistics applications. The CX-A robots are a significant expansion of Epson’s industrial robot portfolio, allowing system integrators and manufacturers to address demanding multi-axis applications.
The robots are available in 18 configurations, with payload options of 4kg or 7kg, and arm lengths from 600-900mm. All have the same compact footprint, simplifying integration into production lines.
Highlights of the new robots include:
- expanded motion ranges, reducing unnecessary arm reorientation and collision risks;
- enhanced robustness and rigidity, through redesigned robot wrists;
- improved repeatability and path accuracy, tested to ISO 9283;
- ISO 9409-1 standard flanges, ensuring compatibility with common end-effectors;
- IP67 protection, as well as cleanroom and ESD variants;
- the use of GyroPlus motion control technology, improving settling behaviour and reducing cycle times;
- battery-less encoders, reducing cabling and simplifying installation; and
- lower power consumption than Epson’s previous C-series models .
The robots are compatible with Epson’s RC800-A controllers and RC+ 8 software, supporting safe robot motion and advanced automation functions.
“With the CX-A series, Epson is making a clear statement in the six-axis robot market,” says Volker Spanier, head of manufacturing solutions at Epson Europe. “We have combined proven Epson precision with enhanced robustness, smarter motion control and a highly flexible system architecture. The CX-A series gives our customers and partners a powerful, future-ready automation platform.”
