Epson launches CX-A series of high-end 6-axis robots
Epson announces the launch of its new CX-A series, a high-performance range of 6-axis industrial robots designed to deliver higher precision, faster cycle times and increased reliability across a wide range of manufacturing and logistics applications.
Building on Epson's long-standing leadership in SCARA robotics, the CX-A series marks a significant expansion of Epson's industrial robot portfolio, enabling system integrators and manufacturers to address more demanding multi-axis applications in industries such as automotive, electronics, medical, logistics, plastics and metal processing.
The CX-A series is available in 18 different configurations, offering 4 kg and 7 kg payload options with arm lengths from 600 mm to 900 mm, all based on a single compact footprint. This enables easy integration into existing production lines while maximising workspace efficiency. Key technical highlights include:
- Expanded motion ranges, reducing unnecessary arm reorientation and collision risk
- Enhanced robustness and rigidity through redesign of the robot wrist
- Improved repeatability and path accuracy, tested according to ISO 9283
- ISO 9409-1 standard flange, ensuring compatibility with common end-effectors
- IP67 protection available across the entire CX-A lineup, alongside cleanroom and ESD variants
- GyroPlus motion control technology, improving settling behaviour and reducing cycle times
- Battery-less encoders, reduced cabling and simplified installation
- Lower power consumption compared to previous C-series models
The CX-A robots are fully compatible with the Epson RC800-A controller and RC+ 8 software, supporting Safe Robot Motion functions and advanced automation features.
Volker Spanier, Epson Europe, commented: "With the CX-A series, Epson is making a clear statement in the 6-axis robot market. We have combined proven Epson precision with enhanced robustness, smarter motion control and a highly flexible system architecture. The CX-A series gives our customers and partners a powerful, future-ready automation platform."
The CX-A series is designed to support both new automation projects and simple retrofits from existing Epson C-series robots, helping customers protect previous investments while upgrading performance.
The Epson CX-A series 6-axis robots will be available in Europe from April 2026 through Epson's authorised distributors and system integrator partners.
