Why Should You Choose an Industrial Robot?

Fast Cycle Times

Industrial robots perform better in applications that require fast cycle time to maximize part production.

High-Precision Technology

In applications that require high precision movements, an industrial robot with repeatability down to 5 microns is often a better choice.

Industrial Collaborative Workcells

Combine SafeSense technology and no-code Epson RC+ Express software to easily develop industrial collaborative solutions with remarkable speed and repeatability.

Affordable Price

A widely used, time-tested solution, industrial robots can be a cost-effective alternative to pricey cobots. With a multitude of accessories and safety devices available at an affordable cost, industrial robots offer high convenience at a reasonable price point.

Worker Interaction Without Sacrificing Speed/Performance
