Seiko Epson Robotics has released the 6-axis vertical multi-joint "N Series". Its load-bearing component is 2.5 kg and the repeatability is less than 20 μm. It will go on sale in May 2016.
The N-Series features a "new foldable arm structure" that is N-shaped and can be moved with the elbow folded. After selecting this structure, the setting space of the new product is reduced by 4% compared with the original product. Yoshishi Yoshida, deputy director of the Robotics Solutions Division at Seiko Epson Corporation, said, "The N Series can be operated within the range of 600 mm of side length, which is necessary for workers to work."
The choice of a new folding arm structure also helps to shorten the working time of the robot. By folding the arms into an N-shape, the elbows are not prominent, and the number of disturbing objects is reduced compared to the original 6-axis robot. Originally, in order to prevent the outstanding elbow from touching the wiring or other structures, it was necessary to make it do some non-work-related movements. In addition, the folding arm allows the top part of the robot to move along a shorter trajectory. According to the company, "the working time was shortened by about 30% during the simulation."
*Recently, collaborative robots working in the same space as humans have been a hot topic in the field of industrial robots, but the N-series released this time does not consider collaboration with people, and requires a safety barrier or protective cover. Regarding robots that work with people, Yoneharu Fukushima, head of Seiko's Popson Robot Solutions Division, said that "safety skills are being developed," and that "there is still little demand for collaborative robots at production sites because manpower is not yet tight enough to consider human-robot collaboration."
