Epson announces the launch of its new robot programming software, RC+ 8.0. Designed to enhance the capabilities of all Epson robots, this powerful and intuitive platform offers unparalleled functionality and scalability for both system integrators and end users.
RC+ 8.0 software sets a new benchmark for robot programming and replaces the previous version, RC+ 7.0. It is a single, comprehensive software platform that supports the full range of Epson robots, including SCARA, 6-axis and other specialty products. This unified platform simplifies the programming process, making it more accessible and efficient for users across all industries. Key Features and Benefits
Powerful and Intuitive User Interface:
RC+ 8.0 software is delivered through an easy-to-use Windows user interface enhanced by an open structure and integrated image processing. This makes programming applications easy, even for those with limited robotics knowledge. Intuitive commands, syntax support and a color-coded syntax-checking editor minimize errors and streamline program development.
Built-in 3D Simulator:
One of the standout features of RC+ 8.0 is the 3D simulator that is built in at no extra cost. This tool allows users to start programming their applications before the hardware arrives, allowing feasibility analysis and validation of machine design ideas. Users can also add CAD data from machines and other devices to ensure comprehensive and accurate simulation.
Comprehensive Project Management and Development:
Designed to develop powerful robotic automation solutions, Epson RC+ 8.0 supports a wide range of peripherals and offers fully integrated options such as vision guides, part feeding guides and force guides. This integration ensures all components interface seamlessly in a single development environment.
Improved User Experience:
RC+ 8.0 was developed with a focus on ease of use while integrating a modern operating experience. The new UI design and improved editor, simulator and GUI capabilities make it easier for users to navigate and use the software, reducing the barrier of adoption for new customers.
Addressing Customer Challenges
Epson recognizes the challenges its customers face, including lack of robotics expertise, use of disparate software when building solutions, and the need to test and validate machine design ideas without hardware. RC+ 8.0 software addresses these challenges by:
- Removing technical barriers: Improved UI design and expanded functionality make the software easier to understand and use.
- Comprehensive solution support: With RC+ 8.0, you can program not only robots, but also vision systems, feed systems, and other peripherals, simplifying the integration process.
- Feasibility analysis: The included 3D simulator allows users to validate their program content before investing in hardware.
With intuitive and infinitely expandable programming capabilities, RC+ 8.0 software supports two programming approaches that satisfy both experts and novices. It is designed to support application extensions and third-party solutions, allowing users to continue to innovate and improve their automation processes.
Volker Spanier, Head of Automation, Epson Europe, commented: “The launch of RC+ 8.0 marks an important milestone in our journey to industry-leading robotics solutions. This comprehensive software enables our customers to achieve seamless automation, reduce technical barriers and improve overall productivity. RC+ 8.0 is a testament to our commitment to innovation and user-centric design.”
