The secret to the success of Epson robots

With the evolution of the transformation and promotion of China's manufacturing industry, huge opportunities have erupted in the industrial robot market. In the electronics manufacturing and lithium battery industries, lightweight SCARA robots have been put into use in large quantities, enabling many robot manufacturers to achieve better success. In 2017, Epson completed an 85% increase in robotics affairs, and continued to maintain the leading position in the market share of SCARA robot stores. So, what secret weapon is hidden behind Epson's brilliant results?

At the 2018 Epson Innovation Conference, Minoru Usui, President of Seiko Epson Group, once again emphasized the integration of "provincial, small, and refined skills" into product innovation, taking into account the concept of green environmental protection, efficient production and personalized customization, and stated that he would continue to deepen China's shopping malls and bring positive changes to the world with the four major innovation areas, making Epson an indispensable company.

The robot N2 breaks the limitations of space

In the field of 3C electronic production, electronic components are very small, and the volume of the robot is a great test. The Epson Robot N2 can flexibly complete the mission of the device in a small working space, and this folding arm six-axis robot is designed with a compact body structure, which consumes less energy and space, saving about 40% of space compared to traditional six-axis robots.

New skills are changing to push the manufacturing industry to be more sophisticated. The reason why Epson robots have won the love of the electronic manufacturing industry is mainly because its products are designed to fully consider multiple elements such as volume, power and energy saving, and assist manufacturers to complete efficient and rapid production with low energy consumption. Mr. Akihiro Fukashi, General Manager of Epson (China) Co., Ltd., said that Epson has always been meticulous in its products and skills, and has been striving to provide everyone with more environmentally friendly, more efficient and personalized products and services.

At this innovation conference, Epson exhibited the solution of N2 robot in the field of mobile phone production, combining the advantages of SCARA robot and 6-axis robot N2, the wrist can be rotated 180 degrees to increase the cycle time by 30%, the product has a large load of 2.5 kg, and can perform a variety of operations together. For places with high requirements for operation accuracy and working space, N2 robot will be a good choice.

The beauty of modern machines is interpreted in one piece

Since the controller and drive occupy a large volume space, traditional robots need to be connected to an external control cabinet. With the breaking of the integrated skills of driving and control, Epson has newly launched the T6 compact SCARA robot, which breaks the concept of the traditional SCARA robot and selects the built-in design of the controller, thereby reducing the complex wiring problem and further reducing the cost of the equipment and the difficulty of the device.

Epson exhibited the T6 compact SCARA robot at the innovation conference, according to the introduction, T6 can help customers easily complete the transfer automation, can replace the complex single-axis module, because it has a lower cost than the single-axis module. The T6 SCARA robot adopts an integrated design, which makes it lower in the cost of device debugging and protection, and will be able to greatly reduce the overall cost when it is put into use in large quantities.

Consumption promotion, innovation has never stopped

Thanks to the rapid development of China's economy, Epson's overall performance in fiscal year 2017 maintained a rapid increase of 16%, in addition to SCARA robots to achieve the largest market share, its projectors and scanners and other strategic products have also maintained a market share. In the field of visual interaction, Epson's high-end projectors have also achieved a 56% increase in performance by virtue of the advantages of 3 LCD and laser skills.

Epson has never stopped on the road of innovation, from the first Seiko watch processing to printers, projections and robots, Epson adheres to the pursuit of intelligent technology innovation, excellent functions and green environmental protection concept, and continues to extend products to all aspects of people's work and life.

At this innovation conference, Epson demonstrated the Mona Lisa digital direct injection printing machine. Digital printing skills will accelerate the process of clothing design, designers can print patterns to their works through the printing machine, and the printed materials can be extended to water cups, umbrellas, hats, bags and other products, flexible printing skills will create more imagination space for personalized customization.

In terms of projection skills, Epson has launched the LightScene projection lamp, which can be used for projection imaging in any medium through innovative 3LCD skills and laser light source skills. LightScene projectors can be used in exhibition halls, bars, and other areas to help customers complete more experiential AR interactive scenes.

With the advent of the era of consumption promotion, Epson has indicated that it will continue to adhere to "technology + localization", and respond to the needs of shopping malls with innovations in four categories: inkjet innovation, visual innovation, wearable innovation, and robot innovation. Faced with the personalized needs of shopping malls, Epson is helping customers achieve greater success by taking into account personalized experience, efficient production and green environmental protection.
