Carson, California – Flexion N-series 6-axis robots feature a compact folding arm design poised to dramatically change the scope of automation. Expanding and diversifying Epson’s 6-axis robot portfolio, the Flexion N-series provides a compact solution for applications requiring smaller robots and work cells.
The first robot introduced in the series – the Flexion N2 – offers a 450mm reach and 2.5kg max. payload, expanding the reach capabilities of Epson’s product line from the 450mm mark up to 1,400mm. Unlike any other 6-axis robot on the market, the Flexion N-series features a unique tight space motion capability that keeps arm extremities out of the way, maximizing motion efficiency for faster cycle times. In addition, the folding arm reduces required workspace up to 40 percent compared to standard 6-axis robots. Applications that were previously unattainable due to space restrictions are now possible with the Flexion N-series.
While beneficial in a large range of industries, key applications for the Flexion N-series include micro-sized electronic, automotive, medical, and consumer goods parts assembly and more. The Flexion N-series is available in both ceiling and tabletop configurations. Compatible and packaged with the RC700A controller, the Flexion N-series also uses Epson’s RC+ Robot Development software and can be used with Epson’s range of integrated options, including vision guidance, force sensing, fieldbus, and GUI builder.
