Japanese robot manufacturer Epson has developed the C8 series of six-axis industrial robots that are designed to be used in the areas of electronic and automotive assembly.
These particular industrial robots are equipped with a slender build, with their lithe arms designed to easily avoid touching surrounding objects. This highly compact and careful design makes these robots perfect for use in highly confined spaces. A six-axis setup allows for a high operating radius and the ability to carry out complex and highly focused tasks.
These Epson industrial robots are also lightweight enough that they can be situated on a table-top setting, unlike many heavier alternatives that need to be secured in place. As a result, these robots are ideal for sensitive industrial applications in restrictive spaces.
