Epson

Japanese precision equipment maker best known outside robotics for printers, whose SCARA and six-axis arms are widely used in electronics assembly.

Seiko Epson entered industrial robotics building on its precision mechatronics expertise from watchmaking and printing equipment, and Epson robots are known for speed and repeatability in a compact footprint.

The company's T-series and G-series SCARA robots are common in electronics assembly, and it also offers compact six-axis arms like the C-series and VT-series for tasks a SCARA cannot handle.

Epson robots typically run on the company's own RC controller platform paired with Epson RC+ software, aimed at simplifying setup for small and mid-size assembly cells.

The company's robotics business remains closely tied to its precision manufacturing heritage, with a strong presence in Asia and a growing footprint in North American electronics manufacturing.
