Epson C3-IP67 Compact 6-Axis Robot

Designed for Automation of Unwrapped Food and Medical Environments

Washdown Capability with IP67 Rating
Resistant to Mild Detergents
Industry Leading Cycle Times
Best in Class Motion Range
Compact Design for Maximum Flexibility

The EPSON C3-IP67 compact 6-Axis robot was designed for automation of unwrapped food lines as well as use in Medical environments where washdown capabilities are requried. Special material is used to seal components to enable long life and chemical-resistant performance. They are built to withstand exposure to chemical solutions and detergents from mild-acid to mild-alkaline.

With a smooth surface design, C3-IP67 robots are easy to clean. The smooth surface prevents/reduces foreign substances from attaching to the arm. Safe coating material, approved by the FDA for contact with food and which is also used for kitchen utensils, is used for exterior parts. For oil seal lubrication, food-grade grease (NSF H1 Grade) is used. Also, wrist axis material is stainless, which reduces the risk of contamination by foreign substances.

As the leader in compact 6-Axis robots, ALL C3 robots include a unique compact wrist pitch as well as a slim body elbow design. With outstanding flexibility, EPSON C3 and C3-IP67 robots were made for big jobs in tiny spaces. Our goal was to build a robust robot in a compact shell capable of meeting EPSON's high performance standards. The new EPSON C3-IP67 did all that and more.

The EPSON C3-IP67 cycle times are down to 0.37 seconds which is faster than many competitors SCARA models. Cycle times can be critical in food handling applications so we made the C3-IP67 so that all 6 joints are on average 32.4% faster than equivalent competitor models in its' class. The C3-IP67's footprint to motion range ratio is in a class by itself and the outstanding flexibility allows EPSON robots to do jobs that other small 6 axis arms simply cannot do (or that take much more cycle time to complete).

How Do We Do It?

Our slimline body and compact wrist design enable grater motion range and less mechanical restrictions than comparably sized models. In addition larger motors and superior servo controls allow for fast yet precise motion control which means smoother motion for your next application. Also, high performance EPSON acceleration/deceleration rates provide fast motion on a smooth path.

Benefits of Epson Washdown C3-IP67 Robots

Sanitary Control
In perishable food fields, risk management to prevent all kinds of food contamination caused by human intervention is required. By introducing the Epson chemical cleanable robots, you can constantly maintain hygienic production lines. Also, Epson C3-IP67 robots are detergent washable making them easy to maintain proper cleanliness for raw food handling applications.

Quality Improvement
Robots can reduce the variation in quality caused by human labor. With reliable high precision and performance of repetitive tasks, Epson Robots can improve the quality of your products

Cost Reduction
Robot automation can reduce overall costs of operation by reducing the number of production line workers and rework activities while at the same time improving yields through increased quality and throughput.
