The verdict
The specs separate them here: the Staubli TS40 carries more, 8 kg to the Epson SCARA T6's 6 kg, and the Epson SCARA T6 reaches farther, 600 mm to 400 mm. If precision drives the job, the Staubli TS40 holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.01 mm. They run different controllers, the Epson SCARA T6 on the Built-in and the Staubli TS40 on the CS8C, 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 Staubli TS40 lists Floor and Wall mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at assembly and packaging, with the Epson SCARA T6 stretching to machine tending.
