Neff is now the official distributor for Epson Robots in Michigan and Indiana EPSON Robots is the global leader in easy to use PC-based controls, high speed, high precision robots and related factory automation equipment with over 21 years in the industry. EPSON Robots are well known for leading the industry in ease of use, performance and reliability. The EPSON RC520 Controller was one of the first PC based controllers introduced by a robot manufacturer and they were the first to offer Active X Controls to allow easy integration of 3rd party products into robot workcells.   Their focus has been to keep things simple and easy to use and just one demo of the EPSON RC+ Software will show they are on the right track. Ask us for a demo or lunch and learn and we'll show you what we mean. EPSON SCARA robots are 2nd to none in terms of performance and reliability due to their never ending push to build and offer next generation products. They improved on their RC520 PC Based Controller when they introduced a smaller less expensive PC Based Controller called the RC420 for those customers that have size limitations. And most recently they just introduced the new RC170 MicroPowerDrive; a small, low cost, high performance controller. EPSON has a wide variety of SCARA robots with over 34 models available including table top, Multi-Mount, and Clean/ESD versions. EPSON also has 9 models of six axis robots to meet your needs. Add to that the list of fully integrated optional products such as Vision Guidance, Force Sensing, Conveyor Tracking, Security/Audit Log and of course, Active X controls along with others. Neff can help you choose the right combination of robot, controller and options to save you money and increase your productivity.   EPSON Robots - The Power of Choice!
