Epson C12 Six Axis Robot
The Epson C12-B1401S is a high-performance 6-axis industrial robot from Epson's ProSix C12XL-B series. Designed for machine tending, assembly, pick-and-place, dispensing, material handling, and precision automation, it combines a 12 kg payload, 1400 mm reach, compact SlimLine arm design, and advanced vibration reduction technology for high-speed and accurate operation. The robot is controlled by the Epson RC700-E controller and programmed using the Epson RC+ software platform.
12 kg payload capacity for medium-duty automation tasks. 1400 mm working envelope suitable for machine loading and handling applications. SlimLine arm design allows operation in confined spaces. Tabletop mounting capability, unlike many robots of similar reach. QMEMS/GYROPLUS vibration suppression technology for faster settling times and higher accuracy. Battery-free encoders reduce maintenance requirements and downtime. Integrated safety functions including safe speed and safe zone monitoring. ISO Class 4 cleanroom compatibility, making it suitable for electronics, medical, and semiconductor environments. Compatible with a wide range of industrial network protocols including EtherCAT, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, CC-Link, and DeviceNet.
Applications: automotive component assembly, machine tool loading/unloading, electronics manufacturing, packaging, laboratory automation, palletizing, precision assembly, and material handling.
