Epson Robots said on January 9, 2024 that GX-B Series SCARA robot models were available. GX10B and GX20B were available through distributor partners, following the earlier GX-B introduction at The Assembly Show in Rosemont, Illinois.

The availability record ties GX-B to the RC700E controller with integrated SafeSense technology. SafeSense supports worker-protection design during SCARA robot cell integration, which is relevant for dense assembly, packaging, and machine-tending work.

Epson introduced GX-B at The Assembly Show on October 24, 2023. The series includes GX4B, GX8B, GX10B, and GX20B robots, with payloads from 4 to 20 kilograms and reach up to 1 meter.

Epson supplies SCARA and small industrial robots. GX-B adds safety-control functions for compact precision-automation cells.
