Question 1

1. What are Epson G6 Series's primary capabilities?

Accepted Answer

The Epson G6 Series is a high-speed SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm) designed for precision assembly, pick-and-place operations, component equipping, and dosing applications. It features exceptional speed and accuracy with a compact, rigid aluminum design that delivers 2.5 times greater rigidity than standard cast aluminum arms, enabling precise execution of repetitive industrial tasks with minimal vibration.

Question 2

2. How to operate Epson G6 Series?

Accepted Answer

Operation begins with proper system initialization and motion range configuration through pulse settings or mechanical stops for each joint. The robot is controlled via a teach pendant or integrated control system, with operators programming trajectories and speeds through the controller interface. Always ensure the safeguarded area is clear before enabling full-speed operation, as the system operates in restricted mode during setup for operator safety.

Question 3

3. What is the maximum carrying capacity of Epson G6 Series?

Accepted Answer

The Epson G6 Series has a rated payload of 3 kg and a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg, making it suitable for handling small to medium-weight components in assembly and manufacturing environments. This payload capacity remains consistent across all arm length variants (450mm, 550mm, and 650mm).

Question 4

4. How long can Epson G6 Series operate on a single charge?

Accepted Answer

The Epson G6 Series is a stationary industrial robot arm that operates continuously when connected to power; it does not operate on battery charge. The system is designed for 24/7 operation in factory environments with appropriate electrical supply and does not have autonomous mobility or battery limitations.

Question 5

5. What safety features does Epson G6 Series have?

Accepted Answer

The G6 Series includes emergency stop functionality that halts operations when activated, though operators should note that the manipulator cannot stop immediately after pressing the emergency stop switch. The system operates in restricted mode during setup with low speeds and reduced power to protect operators. Optional third-party safety certifications are available, and the robot features a low-vibration base design that minimizes unexpected movements and improves operational safety.

Question 6

6. How to maintain Epson G6 Series?

Accepted Answer

Regular maintenance involves monitoring the reduction gear unit and electromagnetic brake for wear, as shock loads or unexpected movements can shorten their lifespan. Inspect cable connections regularly, ensure the monocoque aluminum profile remains clean and undamaged, and verify mechanical stops are properly calibrated. Avoid operating the robot with unexpected trajectory deviations, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule outlined in the technical manual.

Question 7

7. What surfaces can Epson G6 Series navigate?

Accepted Answer

The Epson G6 Series is a stationary robotic arm, not a mobile robot, so it does not navigate surfaces. Instead, it is mounted on tabletops, ceilings, or walls depending on the model variant, with a compact mounting base featuring fitting holes for reproducible positioning. The robot's work envelope is fixed based on its mounting location and arm length configuration.

Question 8

8. How does Epson G6 Series handle obstacles?

Accepted Answer

The G6 Series uses shiftable mechanical stops that allow individual reduction of the work envelope to avoid obstacles or restricted areas. Operators can configure Cartesian (rectangular) range settings in the XY coordinate system for joints #1 and #2 to prevent collisions. The robot's high-rigidity design and precise repeatability (±0.015 mm) enable accurate path planning around fixed obstacles in the workspace.

Question 9

9. What is Epson G6 Series's maximum speed?

Accepted Answer

The Epson G6 Series achieves maximum operating speeds of 7,170 mm/s for the 550mm arm length and 7,900 mm/s for the 650mm arm length, with Z-axis speeds reaching 1,100 mm/s for standard models and 2,350 mm/s for extended Z-stroke variants. Standard cycle times range from 0.35 to 0.39 seconds depending on arm length, making it ideal for high-speed assembly applications.

Question 10

10. What are common use cases for Epson G6 Series?

Accepted Answer

The G6 Series excels in production of mechanical and electrical parts, precision assembly operations, pick-and-place applications, component equipping with small parts, dosing, and feeding tasks. Its combination of high speed, precision, and compact design makes it particularly suitable for cleanroom environments and applications requiring ISO clean or ESD compliance, available in specialized variants.
