The verdict
The specs separate them here: the Epson SCARA T6 carries more, 6 kg to the Omron i4's 5 kg. If precision drives the job, the Omron i4 holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.01 mm. They run different controllers, the Epson SCARA T6 on the Built-in and the Omron i4 on the Built-in internal controller, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the Epson SCARA T6 lists Tabletop mounting while the Omron i4 lists Table and Wall mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at assembly and packaging, with the Epson SCARA T6 stretching to machine tending.
