Our best seller - EPSON RC420: One control per robot
Due to its open structure, the PC-based EPSON RC420 robot control makes all options available, that a PC has to offer in automation. Just as with the large RC520, the software platform RC+ is used

Due to its open structure, the PC-based EPSON RC420 robot control makes all options available, that a PC has to offer in automation. Just as with the large RC520, the software platform RC+ is used. The versatility and speed are based upon an industrial PC running Windows 2000, equipped with a 850 MHz processor and enable the integration of a wide range of options. In addition, image processing and Ethernet I/O, field bus systems such as Interbus or Profibus can also be integrated and a software interface to Visual Basic/C++ can be created.

The control conforms to the relevant CE guidelines and reduce the torque forces in the "teach-in" phase so that the system is safe and easy to set up. In normal operation, special software continuously monitors all safety-related functions of the robot system. Furthermore, in addition to the emergency stop circuit, there is also the option for installing safety barriers and door contacts in the system.
The RC420 universal control has slots for the usual PC insert cards. Thus, as well as the actual robot control, further control and other tasks can also be handled.

EPSON RC520: For the control of up to three robots simultaneously
The RC520 is a real multi-talented device as closed, ready-to-install 19" insert. Up to three robots can be controlled simultaneously with this device.

The RC520 is a real multi-talented device as closed, ready-to-install 19" insert. Up to three robots can be controlled simultaneously with this device. This is always of advantage, if several robots are more or less working closely together at the same location or if your plant is to be later extended at this point. For this purpose, each robot is driven by a separate power element with modern, digital drive engineering.

This system can control up to 3 robots simultaneously. Each robot receives its energy from a separate power element. The illustration shows such a robot under intrinsic control.
