4 THE EPSON ECONOMIC CONTROLLERS THE EPSON SYSTEM 5 Kinematics/controller Peripheral equipment They control manipulators and peripheral equipment fast, precisely and highly reliably. They offer high power — in most confined spaces. They are based on a robust, integrated system and are open on all sides. All in all, they are real controllers with respect to cost efficiency: The Epson RC180 slave controller and the PC-based RC620 master controller.
6 EPSON RC180 RC180: WORKS ON COMMAND RC620: HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL With a base area only slightly larger than an A4-sheet, Features & advantages the RC180 is incredibly small and yet extremely powerand compact slave ful. The small smart one of extremely good value was • Powerful controller mainly designed for slave network operation. • Graded safety systems The RC180 controller has an operating system optimised for Epson robots and can be easily programmed via USB from an external PC.
8 EPSON RC180 RC180: SO MUCH IS POSSIBLE — IN THE SMALLEST SPACE The Epson RC180 is the most compact and lightweight controller of its performance class on the market. It is particularly flexible since the compact slave controller can be used for SCARA as well as for 6-axis robots. Apart from that the Option Units, which are designed like a modular system, provide further interfaces and technology modules.
10 EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS EPSON RC180 THE TOOLS YOU NEED The expansion cards for communication with external devices and for integration into fieldbus networks can flexibly expand your system according to your requirements at a low cost. With the portable TP1 operating and display device or the OP1 operator pendant for operation and visualisation tasks, you have an eye on everything and everything under control.
12 FOR ROBOTS WITH EYE CONTACT EPSON RC180 SIMPLY SMART — OUR CAMERAS Tolerances are becoming smaller. That's why you need a powerful vision system which reliably detects and positions parts even in case of manufacturing deviations or part changes. At Epson, we have the hardware and software you need — perfectly adapted to each other.

22 SO MUCH POWER — AND YET SO COMPACT EPSON RC620 Real greatness in a confined space — that is the Epson RC620. That is the definite end of controllers the size of control cabinets which only consume space! High availability — low maintenance Parallel conversations Guaranteeing the availability of our machines is part of the Epson company philosophy. That includes quality-certified production, constant testing as well as the comprehensive services we offer.
24 CONTROLLER SEEKS CONNECTION EPSON RC620 Communication with external equipment or integration of fieldbus networks — the expansion cards provide diverse options to flexibly expand your system according to your requirements and at a low cost. EFFICIENCY NON-STOP EPSON RC620 In many fields of robot-assisted automation, Conveyor Possible applications for Conveyor Tracking Tracking has become indispensable.
26 BUILD YOUR OWN FACTORY EPSON RC620 ALL AT A GLANCE EPSON RC620 You need a user interface to “communicate” with the software. And you can only enjoy that communication if the interface has an appealing design adapted to your specific needs and if intuitive operation is possible. Since we know that, we have developed the GUI Builder to allow you to design your own graphical user interface.
28 SIMPLY SMART — OUR CAMERAS EPSON RC620 INCREASED VISION, INCREASED PERFORMANCE Permanently installed and mobile, with different resolutions, with lenses of different focal lengths, integrated or with remote lens system — Epson Smart Cameras really leave nothing to be desired. No matter which one you choose, combined with the Epson Vision Guide software you can only make the right choice to quickly and easily implement complex machine vision-assisted applications.
