ABOUT EPSON
EPSON ROBOT
SYSTEMS — TO SPEED UP
YOUR PRODUCTION RUN
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Our service and support program helps you to tap the full potential of your Epson robot systems.
Feasibility studies
Instead of theoretical simulations
we offer cycle time tests with real
robots. There are many ways in which
you benefi t from those studies. Prior
to your investment you are provided
with optimal robot confi guration
and installation site as well as precise
cycle times. That is how you get
maximum planning and project
security.
Pre-sales support
How can a robot system be effi ci-
ently integrated into an installation?
How can cycle times be optimised?
How can the robot program be
integrated into external software?
Our application engineers advise
you during planning as well as
during implementation.
Training
Whether you need introductory
seminars, or programming, mainte-
nance or operator trainings — our
experts share their knowledge with
you and your employees.
After-sales support
Hotline service, repair service on
site, inspection and individual
maintenance concepts as well as
spare part packages tailored to your
needs are only some examples of
how we do everything to have your
production running non-stop.
Central spare part stocking
All spare parts are rapidly delivered
from our central warehouse in
Meerbusch, Germany.n

Epson, a subsidiary of Seiko Cor-
poration, launched the fi rst robots
in the 1980ies. Those were used for
precise and fast assembly of Seiko
watches. Soon Epson industrial
robots and controllers started to
conquer markets all over the world.
Today, Epson Factory Automation is
one of the leading companies pro-
ducing high-quality robot systems
with branches on all fi ve continents.
• In-house Research and
Development department for
automation processes
• 1984 fi rst freely available Epson
SCARA robot in Japan
• One of the most comprehensive
SCARA model ranges worldwide
• 1997 fi rst PC-based controller
• Inventor of the RS3 Spider:

Our robots palletise, saw, mill, drill, grind, mount, move and assemble. They work
precisely and at breathtaking speed in these and many other applications — often
up to 24 hours a day.
As one of the pioneers in robotics we know exactly what the main feature of the combination of kinematics and
intelligent control must be apart from speed and precision: Reliability! That is because the standstill of an installation
resulting in a loss of production is expensive, very expensive. Therefore to us, innovation means more than just
up-to-date robot technology. Every day, our development engineers strive to make our robot systems even more
economical, fl exible and reliable — under all conditions.
Integrated automation
We offer you a fl exibly expandable range of products with different integrated components. Among these are a
great number of SCARA robots and 6-axis robots for diverse applications as well as controllers and software.
Everything engages perfectly and is easy to operate.
