Epson has announced the launch of its first collaborative robot, a solution designed to transform the interaction between people and machines into different industrial sectors. This new development will be officially presented in automatic 2025, the leading fair in intelligent and robotic automation, which is held in Munich from June 24 to 27.
Epson’s proposal includes a package all into one that integrates the new six -axis robot AX6-A901SManufactured in light carbon, the compact controller RC-A101 and the programming system AX Portal. Together, these components make up a versatile and easily integrable solution in facilities with space limitations or high hygiene requirements.
During the event, the media will be able to know this new technology first hand in a special presentation that will take place on June 24 at 4:00 p.m. at Stand 311 of Pavilion B5.
“The demand for precise operations and strict hygienic control is increasingly critical in sectors such as the pharmacist or that of life sciences,” he said Volker SpanierHead of Robotics of Epson Europe. “That is why we have designed this robot to be compatible with clean rooms, guaranteeing maximum precision in controlled laboratories and environments.”

With a 6 kg payload and a 900 mm range, the AX6-A901S stands out for its balanced design and its ability to work in small spaces. Its compatibility with ISO standards of white rooms, its resistance to dust and dripping, and a chassis without elements that accumulate dirt, make it an ideal solution for delicate environments and critical tasks.
In addition, the robot can be programmed in Python, which facilitates its implementation without learning new specialized languages, something especially valued in R&D environments and advanced automation.
“Our first collaborative robot marks a milestone in Epson’s strategy towards a safer and more efficient automation,” Spanier stressed. “We combine innovation and reliability to respond to the needs of both modern manufacturing and the demanding laboratory environments.”
The commercialization of this new collaborative solution is scheduled for the fall of 2025, marking the beginning of a new stage for Epson in the field of robotics oriented to man-machine collaboration.
