Robots designed for press tending

Compared to general-purpose robots, the EPH-series feature higher

performance drive systems on the S, L and U axes (axes 1, 2, 3) for

high duty cycle applications. Shelf-mounted versions are available and

provide improved clearance for die changes. These robots feature a high

vibration rating of 9.8 m/s2 (1.0G), which is needed for the press room

environment. All EPH-series robots are controlled by the

high-performance NX100 controller. The NX100 offers multiple axes

control capability to maximize flexibility while minimizing cost of

integration and eliminating risk of robot collisions. Dual-channel

safety features include enhanced E-stop functionality, integrated speed

monitoring, manual brake release switches, and compliance with both

ANSI/RIA R1506-1999 and Canadian safety standards.
