Anthropomorphic robots are generally 6-axis robots that resemble the human arm in form and articulation capabilities. These robots have joints and wrist at the end to which a gripping device, comparable to the human hand, can be attached. The manipulator is controlled by a controller with its own programming language.
Main features
- Extreme articulation mobility
- Wide workspace combined with compact dimensions
- Ability to withstand any type of environment
- Capacity to perform a wide variety of tasks, thanks to high precision and speed capabilities
When choosing an anthropomorphic robot several considerations need to be taken into account::
- Tasks requirements: the first thing to consider is the task that you want the robot to perform. This will influence the choice of the type and configuration of the robot, sensors and other required components.
- Movement capabilities: the robot’s reach, wrist load capacity, maximum movement speed based with the applied load and precision are crucial factors to consider when performing the specific task.
- Reliability and maintenance: these are important factors as they influence the ability to carry out tasks efficiently and effectively.
- Support and after-sales service: these aspects affect the ease of use and long-term maintenance of the robot.
Working area
The workspace of an anthropomorphic robot is extremely extensive due to its minimal floor footprint and its almost “spherical” movement in space.
Configurations
Anthropomorphic robot can be mounted both tabletop and on the wall or ceiling. Typically it has IP54/IP65 protection, depending on the model, and should be chosen appropriately for the working environment in which it is intended to operate.
Application’s fields
Handling and manipulation in various forms of applications include tending, assembly, testing, packaging, filling, cutting, deburring, welding….
Our “machinery” fleet

– MC series, with a traditional controller, capable of carrying loads from 20 to 1000kg;
– MR series, with a traditional controller and 7 axes, capable of carrying loads from 20 to 50kg;
– LP series, with 4 axes, specifically designed for palletizing applications;
– SRA series, specifically designed for spot welding.
EPSON
EPSON anthropomorphic robots are designed for medium-small handling tasks, ranging from 1 to 12kg:
– C series, fast, agile and precise;
– VT series, with an integrated controller and the most cost-effective option;
– N series, offering maximum productivity due to its compactness and 360° rotation.
