The EPX2050, Motoman's newest robot, raises the bar for painting automation. This model is stronger, bigger, and tougher than its expert painting cousin, the PX2050, and boasts an advanced NX100-FM controller. If you're looking for a versatile, high-speed solution for your coating needs, the EPX2050 may be just the thing.
Protected Painting:
The EPX2050 is completely explosion-proof. With a Factory Mutual (FM) Class 1, Div. 1 rating, it is safe to place this robot in a variety of hazardous settings. As per usual, the EPX2050 complies with all ANSI/RIA and Canadian safety standards.

Enhanced Flexibility:
This 6-axis painting robot boasts an expanded work envelope and increased payload. It can reach a full 2,054mm horizontally and handle a payload up to 15kg. Plus, this model's compact base is easily installed to the floor, wall, or ceiling.
Looking for even more versatility? The EPX2050 can be outfitted with a 50mm diameter hollow wrist for more streamlined flexibility.

Advanced Controls:
An NX100-FM controller gives the EPX2050 an advantage. The controller is protected and user-friendly. Unlike an XRC controller, the NX100 has an expanded memory capacity. It can also control up to 36 axes. Both of these features give the NX100-FM more dominance.

Assembly is an industrial mainstay. It is also extremely tedious, dull, and repetitious work. Learn how assembly robots could change your life...not to mention your product.
Since nearly every product requires assembly at some level, today's assembly robots are making quite an impact. In fact, assembly robots often allow companies to achieve better organization, productivity, and cost-effectiveness.
1) Assembly Robots Increase Accuracy:
Robots have entered the scene at a critical moment when products are becoming even smaller and sophisticated. This has required assembly to be more and more precision-driven. The miniscule components of PCBs, for instance, would be tedious and time-consuming to assemble by hand.
Assembly robots are designed for high accuracy and exact repeatability. There is no danger of damaging or mishandling a part. Robots are programmed to assemble the same way every time.

2) Speed Up the Process with Assembly Robots:
Assembly robots can be set up to work continuously. They offer more reliable throughput and faster overall cycle times. With automation, every assembly process is regulated. Robots move without wasting time, materials, or space - leading to faster throughput.

3) Lower Costs with Assembly Robots:
Assembly projects require multiple employees and long hours without automation. With robots, processes are faster, lowering unit costs considerably. Without insurance, vacations, accidents, draining finances, assembly is much cheaper. Faster throughput and higher product quality increase productivity.

Integration is RobotWorx' primary focus. It is the process of outfitting robots for specific jobs.
To integrate, RobotWorx technicians interface a robot with other elements to create a new, complete unit. We work with each customer to make sure their robot is integrated to fit their unique part, work setting, and application requirements.
Choose custom robot integration to save time, money, and hassle. Every robot has to be integrated to some extent before it can be put to work. RobotWorx' seamless systems offer the advantages of reliability and affordability. Robots can be integrated to perform material handling, welding, plasma cutting, and numerous other applications.
When RobotWorx integrates a robot, the finished product typically includes:
When RobotWorx integrates a robot, the finished product typically includes:
- EOAT - RobotWorx figures out the appropriate tooling attachments. Sometimes we create custom tooling to fit customer criteria.
- Wiring - The entire system must be wired to work in harmony.
- Controllers/Relays - The brains of the robot must be configured properly.
- Robot Programming - Every robot is programmed to fit a specific application.
- Safety - Integrated robots are often equipped with safety features. Each peripheral must be coordinated with the robot and other systems to effectively safeguard.
With a wide array of robot models, parts, and the technical know-how to build custom solutions, RobotWorx is prepared for the toughest integration challenge. Call us today at 740-383-8383.
