Epson Factory Automation Controls

Choice of two control systems
Whether one control per robot or up to three machines per control – whether for driving SCARAs or linear-axis modules: The choice is yours.

Whether one control per robot or up to three machines per control – whether for driving SCARAs or linear-axis modules: The choice is yours.

Both control options operate on trend-setting PC basis. Ready to install and connect in compact, closed 19" industrial inserts, they are fast, inexpensive, space-saving and can be integrated into any system. Driven by modern processor technology with 850 MHz processor and running Windows 2000TM, they offer the interface of the future today and, due to their structure, make all options available, that modern PCs have to offer in automation.

In both devices, there are useful and versatile options (e.g. Vision Guide image processing), which are hardware and software compatible. In addition, Ethernet I/O, field bus systems such as Interbus or Profibus can also be integrated and a software interface to Visual Basic/C++ can be created.

The controls conform to the relevant CE guidelines and reduce the torque forces in the "teach-in" phase so that the systems are safe and easy to set up. In normal operation, special software continuously monitors all safety-related functions of the robot system.

Furthermore, in addition to the emergency stop circuit, there is also the option for installing safety barriers and door contacts in the system.

No matter which EPSON robot or which control system you select, solutions to even the most highly-demanding tasks can be quickly and simply realised, in all cases. Our field-operations personnel will also be pleased to offer on-site advice on this subject.
