C8 Compact 6-Axis Robots

The Epson C8 compact 6-Axis robots provide high performance in a slimline package. With up to 8Kg of payload, Epson C8 robots handle mid-sized 6-axis jobs while keeping an extremely small footprint. Just like our Epson C4 robots, the C8 design includes a unique compact wrist pitch as well as a slim body elbow design. Bottom line, Epson C8 robots were made for big jobs in tiny spaces. Our goal was to build a robust robot in a compact shell capable of meeting Epson's high performance standards. The new Epson C8 does that and more by allowing payloads up to 8Kg while maintaining fast speeds and cycle times.

Epson C8 compact 6-Axis robots have cycle times of 0.33 seconds (with a 3Kg payload) which is faster than many competitors SCARA models. Starting with 1000W motors on the J1 axis, Epson C8 robots are powerful yet compact. The Epson C8's footprint to motion range ratio is in a class by itself and the outstanding flexibility allows Epson robots to do jobs that other small 6 axis arms simply cannot do (or that take much more cycle time to complete).

How Do We Do It?

Our slimline body and compact wrist design enable greater motion range and less mechanical restrictions than comparably sized models. In addition larger motors and superior servo controls allow for fast yet precise motion control which means smoother motion for your next application. In addition Epson acceleration/deceleration rates due to our high performance Epson proprietary servo system provide fast motion on a smooth path.

Unique to Epson: Residual Vibration Technology 

- Most 6-axis arm manufacturers have to add size to get the rigidity required for reasonable arm performance. Epson has a unique Residual Vibration Technology that allows our slimline arms to produce outstanding speed, precision, accel/decel rates and much more. Reducing vibration is the key to high performance, and our Residual Vibration Technology using Epson QMEMS sensors help significantly reduce vibration through detecting and canceling vibration.
