Overview
Even though its footprint may not be much larger than a DIN A4 sheet, the RC180 is a true space wonder, and extremely powerful to boot. The small clever one with the outstanding cost-performance ratio was mainly designed for slave operation within a network.
The Epson RC180 can be used equally for SCARA robots and 6-axis robots. Moreover, the option units designed as a modular system provide further interfaces and technology modules.
Lightweight
Basic unit for SCARA robots: 7.5 kg
