CHICAGO, April 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson Robots, the #1 SCARA robot manufacturer in the world, today announced at Automate 2019, the new VT6L All-in-One 6-Axis robot, a new entry level offering to the award-winning 6-Axis line up. This compact, easy to install robot includes next generation technology, is ideal for a wide range of simple applications and is offered at the ultra low cost of $13,900. Available in June, the VT6L robot will be showcased at Automate, McCormick Convention Center, April 8-11 at Epson Robots booth #7566.
The VT6L is ideal for simple parts transfer applications such as machine-tool and injection molding load/unload, pick-and-place, dispensing and simple assembly projects. The All-in-One design with built-in controller saves on valuable factory space while its SlimLine structure featuring a compact wrist pitch enables access to hard-to-reach areas in confined spaces. This groundbreaking innovation opens a world of application opportunities due to its incredible price and ease of use. Many applications that were too costly to implement with standard 6-Axis robots, will now be possible.
"The VT6L was created based on the highly successful T-Series All-in-One design with built-in controller," said Gregg Brunnick, director of product management for Epson Robots. "This innovation provides an easy-to-use 6-axis solution at ultra low cost perfect for simple applications."
The VT6L offers easy integration tools such as vision guidance, with a reach up to 900 mm and a payload up to 6 kg. A feature-packed performer, it includes a hollow end-of-arm design for simplified cabling and more versatile tooling. The VT6L offers 110 V and 220 V power and installs in minutes. In addition, there is no battery required for the encoder, reducing the overall cost of ownership.
