An EPSON C Series 6-axis robot places multi-colored rhinestones on a smart phone cover. The process starts with a small flexible feeding device presenting rhinestones to the robot. The robot's vision guidance finds the location, orientation and color of each rhinestone so that the robot can pick up different color rhinestones. After pick up the robot moves to a dispensing station where a small drop of adhesive is applied to each rhinestone. The final step is placing each rhinestone on the smart phone cover.

Automatic machine developed by STM Automa??o Industrial Ltda. to test the force and torque of the dash air vent. It performs automatic testing operation with an Epson robot and a load cell. The Epson robot provides a smooth movement so the measurement is very accurate. The operator interface (HMI) presents the graphics in real time, the parameters and information about the test. The machine is able to dispose the reproved part automatically in a locked compartment. This kind of machine can be customized and built by STM to perform many kinds of operation of testing and assembling due to its flexibility. A hot stamp and a barcode label with traceability identify approved

EPSON 4-axis scara robot uses two vision systems to automatically find, inspect and sort various electronic components.

A robot based vision inspect & sort systems eliminates the risk of operator error in part identification and packaging.

Vision #1 is a downward looking camera that finds the location and orientation of the components and send this positional data to the robot. The robot uses this information for part pick up.
Vision #2 is a sideways looking camera that reads the numeric symbol and transfers it to the robot. The robot uses this information to place the component in the correct pocket.
