About Epson Robots
Epson Robots supplies precision factory-automation systems centred on SCARA and six-axis robot arms. The range includes compact all-in-one SCARAs, high-speed production models, space-saving articulated arms, controllers and Epson RC+ development software.
The robots are used for assembly, handling, dispensing, inspection, packaging and other repetitive manufacturing work, with vision, force guidance and conveyor tracking available as integrated options. Epson reports more than 150,000 robots deployed over more than four decades; the figure is cumulative. Epson Robots is the automation operation of Seiko Epson within the parent company’s wider printer, projector and electronics business.

Epson made a strategic investment in Blank Beauty as part of a co-creation initiative focused on on-demand customized consumer product manufacturing. The collaboration combined Epson's T3 all-in-one SCARA robot, RC+ software, color control, and spectroscopic vision systems with Blank Beauty's autonomous manufacturing platform. The partners developed an in-store kiosk that manufactures and dispenses custom-color nail polish in single and small quantities, showing Epson's interest in consumer-facing robotic automation beyond factory settings.

Epson used Automate 2025 to present its SCARA, 6-axis, and broader automation lineup at North America's largest robotics and automation trade show. The showcase emphasized application-based solutions, interactive demos, partner-booth presence, and SafeSense-enabled systems rather than a single product announcement. The release also tied directly into the GX-C generation launch window, reinforcing Epson's push for higher-performance, safer, and easier-to-deploy automation in North American manufacturing.

Five Epson SCARA robots replaced an ageing soldering operation handling more than two million solder joints each year. The in-house system cost about half as much as an off-the-shelf alternative while reducing downtime. An IntelliFlex feeding system also supports a line producing almost two million lawn-tractor switches annually.
