High-Performance Robots for Electronics Manufacturing
For over four decades, Epson has developed precision robots — originally, to manufacture our own electronic products. Now, we leverage that deep manufacturing expertise to help build advanced automation solutions for leading manufacturers in transportation, power, communications and consumer electronics industries.
Success in Real World Applications
Practical Robotic Services (PRS)
Cost-Efficient Innovation Without Compromise
Leveraging an ISO Cleanroom/ESD Compliant Epson G6 SCARA robot to automate a “pick and place” process allowed PRS to meet one of their customer’s target rate of 60 parts per minute, reducing labor by two operators per shift.
Delta Systems, Inc.
It’s All Upside
Today, Delta Systems uses more than 20 Epson robots for various pick and place, assembly, gluing and soldering operations. They have also integrated an Epson IntelliFlexTM parts feeding system to move parts into a system that assembles key switches for lawn tractors, producing almost two million switches each year.
RAM Mounting
Extreme Precision in Mounting of RAM
An Epson G-Series SCARA robot with Vision Guidance was used to position the server chassis and locate the motherboard mounting features. A local coordinate system was created based on these features and a C-Series 6-Axis robot was used for precise mounting of RAM.
Ball Grid Array
Automation Solution Helps Save on Operating Costs
An Epson G3 SCARA robot with Vision Guidance was used to identify the position of the BGA, ensuring accurate placement. By adding feedback on testing time and scheduling, one robot was able to service two BGA testers, saving upfront and long-term operating costs.
“ | We’ve used industrial robots from just about every manufacturer out there, but for the past six or seven years, we’ve been using Epson robots almost exclusively. The speed and payload capabilities, sizes, and price points of Epson SCARA and 6-Axis robots make them a good fit for our pick-and-place, dispensing, and soldering applications. Their RC+ programming software is easy to use, and the support we get from Epson and from our local integrator is excellent. | ” |

“ | Epson Robots is a staple here at Peterson Manufacturing and has been for over 25 years. The 40+ Epson robots on our production floor have helped to increase proficiency, reduce costs, and ease the pains of labor shortages. Epson’s applications division has played a key role in helping us develop and implement robots/vision systems for picking and placing PCBs on our assembly machines. Great robots, great company! | ” |
— Travis Luethje, Project Engineering Manager, Peterson Manufacturing |
“ | Where other robot manufacturers failed to meet our needs, Epson stepped in and worked diligently to help integrate our end effector and electronics into their G10 Cleanroom robot and helped us port our application to their SPEL/RC+ programming environment. With excellent support in sales, applications and service our partnership with Epson has allowed us to deploy 125 systems in six different countries and displace the competition. | ” |
— Jubin Kiaie, President, Aries Innovations, Inc. |
“ | We have been using Epson robots for the last 8 years. Epson robots distinguish themselves from the competition by being light, accurate, and easy to program. Rather than programming the robots to repeat a single action, our application requires that the robot performs complex and constantly changing actions without the manual input of the user, and it works flawlessly for those applications. Epson provides significant savings in assembly time and field support. | ” |
— Jin Min, Owner and President, Amber Precision Instruments |
“ | A customer asked if we could provide a machine to load their small heat sinks onto a tape and reel machine. The requirements were 90 ppm and a fast delivery time. We immediately thought this was a job for an Epson SCARA robot. The Epson RC700 controller allowed us to build the cell without a PLC and Epson’s VBGuide software enabled us to include our robust PC-based HMI. Our solution was an Epson G6 robot with a custom EOAT (picking three parts at a time), vibratory bowl feeder and two tape and reel machines. It was so well received that we were awarded a contract for two additional units. Thank you, Epson, for being our partner and providing us with tools we can depend on. | ” |
