Overview

Overview

Overview

The "Spider" SCARA RS6‑C Series is a high-performance SCARA robot designed for compact production environments. Its special arm geometry creates a cylindrical work envelope with no dead zones, enabling efficient use of space. Ideal for fast pick-and-place operations and precision assembly tasks, the RS6‑C combines speed, accuracy, and flexibility for demanding applications.

Cylindrical envelope

Epson pioneered the first SCARA robot with a perfectly cylindrical work envelope—a concept now widely adopted. This guarantees 100% reach across the entire operating area, maximising productivity and minimising space requirements. With its 550mm arm, RS6-C handles heavier payloads up to 6kg and features an enhanced spindle—200mm long and 20mm thick—for deeper access and greater rigidity.

Compact high performance

RS6-Series "Spider" robots offer performance among the best in the industry. RS6-C delivers cycle times as low as 0.373 seconds, supported by a high-rigidity arm design that minimises vibration for smooth, precise motion. With STM (Shortest Time Motion) and GYROPLUS technology, RS6-C combines speed, accuracy, and the ability to handle payloads up to 6kg for demanding applications.

Outstanding versatility

The Epson SCARA "Spider" RS6-Series robots can be used in a huge range of industries, from assembling automotive components, mobile phones and computer parts, to creating medical equipment and packaging medications, not to mention lab automation and scientific analysis. Available as standard or cleanroom&ESD version.
