How Do We Do It?
The compact arm of the Flexion N2 has the unique ability to fold through itself, versus moving around itself. This reduces the number of intermediate points and shortens cycle times. Due to its intelligent design, the Flexion N2 reduces required workspace area compared to standard 6-Axis robots.
Unique to Epson: Residual Vibration Technology – Most 6-Axis arm manufacturers have to add size to get the rigidity required for reasonable arm performance. Epson has a unique Residual Vibration Technology that allows our slimline arms to produce outstanding speed, precision, accel/decel rates and much more. Reducing vibration is the key to high performance, and our Residual Vibration Technology using Epson QMEMS sensors helps significantly reduce vibration through detecting and canceling vibration. As with our C4 and C8 Series 6-Axis robots, Epson Flexion N2 6-Axis robots also include Epson’s proprietary residual vibration technology for best in class motion performance.

Epson N2 robot Features and advantages
Reduce the installation area by 40% and the occupied space
As Epson’s first 6-axis robot with foldable design, N2 robot has a more compact structure than C4 robot, which can be installed and operated in a 600mm × 600mm workspace consistent with manual operation. Compared with the traditional robot, it saves about 40% of the space.
It can save about 30% of the cycle time, easy to install and teach, and greatly improve the productivity
N2 robot combines the arched motion of SCARA robot and the DOF of 6-axis robot. Through the slicing motion, the wrist of N2 robot can rotate 180 ° to reach the target in the shortest distance, which increases the cycle time by about 30% compared with the traditional model.
Free layout setting, 360 degree continuous motion
Compared with the traditional model, N2 robot reduces the useless motion of the first joint. It is especially practical in the installation environment where the robot has equipment in all directions. Free layout allows N2 robot to perform a variety of tasks in a narrow space.
