The newest addition to Epson's family of SCARA robots is the ES/EL series which is designed for use in dust-proof/wash down areas (see Plate 1).
The eight models are the latest developments in a 15-year campaign by Epson to integrate the most modern and best technological developments into its robots. As such, they come with a number of innovative features.

All eight models have a shielded manipulator and are aimed specifically at users involving dusty, wet or oily environments. All give shielding equivalent to IP65.
Arm lengths vary from 450 to 850mm, with a maximum payload of 5kg. The six ES models come with a repeatability of ±0.02mm, while for the two EL models this is ±0.025mm.
In addition, the ES/EL robots all come with installed pneumatic tubes for ease of customer use.
