Vision Guide

Advanced machine vision systems with user-friendly software for easy program development

• Built- in image processing engine assists vision-to-robot calibration, making it much easier to align the robot's coordinate system with the camera's field of view.
• Simple setup-only a camera and controller are needed.
• Advanced pattern matching and geometric search tools enable easy solution program development without writing a single line of code.

Conveyor tracking

Precision tracking for high-productivity pick-and-place operation

• Vision system with Vision Guide software detects workpiece for pick-and-place handling.
  Multi-conveyor, multi-effector setups are supported.
• Canautomate manual kitting / packaging tasks and help maintain productivity regardless of continuous / intermittent conveyor operation. Can also be used for workpiece assembly.
• Simple start / stop program execution

Teaching pendant TP1

Versatile control with just a few keystrokes

• IP65-rated enclosure is sealed against oil and dust for reliable operation in adverse conditions.
  Shock-resistant contruction helps protect unit from impact damage.
• Universal design ensures ease of use for both right-handed and left-handed operators.
• Connects directly to operator unit or controller interface card (Interface is built-in on RC180/RC620 controllers).
  Menus can be displayed in English, German, French, or Japanese.

Features

• Point data save, edit, and load functions
• Keyword cadidate display, search, and line jump functions
• I/O and task monitoring functions
• Project / system data backup and restore functions
• Reduced operating speed in teach mode for enhanced safety and programing ease

Teaching pendant TP2

Easy-to-use pendant for teaching

• Universal design ensures ease of use for both right-handed and left-handed operators.
• Connects directly to operator unit or controller interface card .

Operator Panel OP1

Versatile control with just a few keystrokes

• Controller and error status display
• oil-and dust-resistant construction
• Simple start / stop program execution.

PG motion system

Control peripheral robots for fully integrated process automation

• EPSON RC+ software and pulse generator (PG) cards enable control of multiple third-party drives and motors.
• PG robots and standard EPSON RC+ system robots can be operated simultaneously, and controlled using the same commands.
• PG cards can be used to control X/Y tables, sliders, turrets, and a wide range of other production/inspection line peripherals.
• Each PG card has 4 channels, and can support from 1 to 4 robots. Up to 4 cards can be mounted.

RS-232C cards

Expanded serial port connecivity

• 4-port (for RC180/RC620 controllers) and 2-port (for RC90 controllers) RS-232C cards to connect serial interface device.

I/O expansion cards

Expanded input/output flexibility

• 32-point I/O (for RC180/RC620 controllers) and 24 inputs/16 outputs (for RC90 controllers) expansion cards.

Field bus I/O(slave)

High-speed peripheral connectivity

• Support for DeviceNet® ^*1, PROFIBUS® ^*2, CC-Link® ^*3, Ethernet/IP^*4, and PROFINET networked peripherals (256-point I/O).

Field bus I/O(master)

Bidirectional high-speed peripheral connectivity

• Support for DeviceNet® ^*1, PROFIBUS® ^*2, and EthernetI/P ^*4 networked peripherals (1024-point I/O).
