Robot Experts in Automotive Manufacturing
In an industry where components are getting smaller, more connected, and more advanced, Epson’s precision automation heritage makes us uniquely qualified to address your most pressing manufacturing challenges.
Success in Real World Applications
Improved Automation with High Repeatability
Challenge
Interplexico identified a need to upgrade automation technology used in its automotive parts production line to improve production efficiency.
Solution
With help from Epson’s Mexico distributor Kopar, Epson 6-Axis C8 robots were installed to optimize terminal loading and unloading operations within Interplexico’s injection molding manufacturing process.
Maximum Precision and Repeatability for Tight Tolerance Mechanical Housing
Challenge
Customer required insertion of a fragile ceramic sensor into a tight tolerance mechanical housing, which was then hermetically sealed. Every time the shuttle came into place, it was not repeatable for a blind insertion. The deviations of the housing required that you “feel” this each time.
Solution
Solution required maximum precision due to the extreme fragility of the ceramic sensor and tight tolerances. A 6-Axis robot with force sensing and vision was used, resulting in improved yield with reduced failures.
Strategic Supplier for Automation Platforms
“ | We have been using Epson Robots for nearly 25 years now for automation solutions to assemble and test automotive electronics. The sharing of information and collaboration across many Epson robot models and accessories have been a two-way street, which has benefited both companies over the years. They are eager to listen to our needs and then react accordingly to help us comply with project timing. All of this makes Epson truly a strategic supplier as we continue to develop our automation platforms for the future. | ” |

Success in Solving Customer’s Biggest Challenge
“ | The integration of vision-guided Epson C-Series and LS-Series allowed us to take on our customer’s biggest challenge: an assembly and test system with infinite configurations of automotive connectors. The simplicity of the software and the accuracy of the vision and robot interface made this project a 100% success and expanded our company’s capabilities. We otherwise would not have been successful without the world-class product offerings and support from Epson. | ” |
— Alex Fatica, VP of Sales, Great Lakes Automation Services, Inc. |
Exceptional Automated Assembly
“ | The performance and affordability of Epson’s All-in-One T3 SCARA and VT6L 6-Axis models have given us the opportunity to compete and win an expanded range of manufacturing opportunities, particularly in the automotive space. You can’t find a better value in the industrial robot market than these models. | ” |
— Brad Herrell, President, A & A Custom Automation, Inc. |
Capable, Reliable, and Adaptable Integration
“ | Epson Robots has focused its attention on integration and from our perspective, this is what sets them apart from the rest of the market. When we integrate with Epson, the whole system becomes much more capable, reliable and adaptable. The hardware and software platforms Epson has developed facilitates more functionality and flexibility. While this makes our integration more efficient, it, more importantly, allows us to provide our customers with a high-performance yet cost-effective final product. | ” |
— Mark Stevens, President, Dallas Design & Technology, Inc. |
High Performance Product and Design Expertise
“ | S4A has been increasing our integration usage of Epson robots for many of our automotive, electric vehicle, battery and commercial product customers — for everything from material handling to inspection, dispensing and difficult plug assembly requiring Epson’s Force Guidance Package. Epson is our go-to for flexible, cost-effective custom assembly solutions. | ” |
— Gary Seibert, President, Solutions 4 Automation, Inc. |
Commitment to Support and Service
“ | Adding Epson equipment to our production meant having the reliable support and service that this brand provides, and knowing they are committed to offering solutions that meet our customers’ needs. Each project where an Epson robot is involved has become a successful project for Interplexico. | ” |
— Set Guzmán, Operations Manager, Interplexico |
Epson robots are playing a vital role in helping powertrain and propulsion component manufacturers address the small-parts, high-precision needs to support industry migration from gas to electric. Examples include:
- Battery packaging
- Lithium cell battery assembly
- Cable and harness fabrication
- Transmission linkage assembly
- Bearing production
Epson’s strength is in small parts electronics assembly, making our robots well-suited for the demands of automotive mechatronic, electrification and sensor technology manufacturers. Examples include:
- Rearview cameras
- Control module assembly
- Electronic encoder assembly
- Laser diode test system for fiber optics industry
- Automated inspection and handling of PC boards
Epson’s focus on flexible manufacturing is bringing mass adaptability to car manufacturers that rely on lightweight plastics, composite (carbon fiber) and additive 3D-printed materials to decrease assembly time and overall car weight. Examples include:
- Airbag packaging and propellant installation
- Instrument column testing
- Dashboard assembly
- Key fob assembly
- Infotainment assembly and testing
