Epson adds LS6 to LS Series of SCARA Robots
Epson has announced that it would commence sale of LS6 - a new addition to its LS series of SCARA robots for automated assembly and transfer processes in September. The new product comes equipped with a 600-mm arm that is 1.5 times the length that of the original LS3 model, and has a payload of 6 kg, twice that of the LS3.
Epson created the new product in response to labour shortages and the need for greater production efficiency and stable quality in emerging nations that volume-produce the vast majority of smartphones, electronic automotive components, and other small electronic gear.
"We added the LS6 to the series because of customer demands for a robot with a greater motion range and that was capable of handling greater payloads. This will enable customers to further automate assembly and transfer processes, and increase productivity by increasing the amount of materials that can be transported by characteristics of the LS6 SCARA robot," said Hideo Hirao, responsible for Factory Automation Division, Epson.
