We live in an age of automation. Considering the consistent quality that a production line requires, this is hardly surprising. Robotics enables any manufacturing or production process to be replicated down to the last detail, creating a quality product that just isn’t achievable through traditional human labor.

When converting to automation, brand name is important. Some robot manufacturers stand out above the rest, earning a reputation in the industry for quality and dependability.

Epson robots have a good reputation in the industry for their reliability, high performance, and ease of use. The robots don’t require complicated programming and can be used to perform a variety of functions. They’re also known for innovation in the industry. Their RC520 Controller was one of the first PC based controllers, eliminating the need for complicated computer programming and improving their adaptability in the workplace. They focus on keeping the process simple, making them easier to use and control on the assembly line.

Epson robots also feature a quality line of SCARA robots, second to none in reliable automation and consistent performance. Their E2 SCARA robots feature over 34 models available. Their PC-based controllers and vision systems are based on Matrox Imaging technology, well known for its video card components.

Motoman robots are well known in the robotics field for innovative robotic automation, creating models that work well for virtually every industry and application. Indeed, their product line features over 175 distinct robot models and 40 fully integrated pre-engineered “World” solutions that come with complete application work cells, including the robot, processing equipment and safety equipment.

Consistent quality is probably why Motoman robots are the second largest robotics company in the Americas. Motoman is, in fact, America’s fastest growing automation company, driving innovation that is leading robot technology into the future.

Recent downsized robotic arms have been developed for light industrial use, enabling the manufacture of small products in confined spaces. Coined “bench-top robots,” these models can be used in combination with sophisticated and intelligent automated guided vehicles that increase the flexibility of the automation chain between pick-up and drop-off. An automated guided vehicle makes it possible for robots to move materials around a warehouse or manufacturing facility.

The field of robotics has matured, increasing their adaptability on the manufacturing line. Choosing a well known name brand insures quality robotic technology in any factory. Not only will the robot last longer with fewer repairs, but the technology will be better advanced. Revolutionize production with a robotic line that has proven itself in the industry.
