SL-D500

The SL-D500 series of compact photo production printers

The design of these compact, lightweight photo production printers provides installation flexibility in shops where space is limited. Up to three units can be stacked on top of one another. Meanwhile, front access operation means you can install them even on narrow shelves and counters. Environmental impacts are minimized by employing a housing that contains recycled resin and ink bottles instead of ink cartridges, resulting in less packaging and other waste.

Industrial robots are required to operate accurately in a limited space and in various work environments, and the GX8 has been developed to meet such strict requirements. GYROPLUS Technology*, which enhances motion control performance, achieves both high speed operation and high accuracy while maintaining a smart body size. In addition, we adopted a design that can provide a wide variety of variations that correspond to various work environments. This allows users to improve productivity and save space by realizing the optimal size and layout.

MOVERIO BT-45C & BT-45CS

These see-through smart glasses are designed for industrial applications. Users in the field can receive remote assistance to enable them to accomplish their tasks smoothly. These products help to solve worksite issues, such as problems that emerged when travel was restricted due to COVID-19. Moreover, as the working population ages, they will be used to pass knowledge and skills down to the next generation of workers. Wearability, a longstanding issue, was improved by distributing the weight of the product across the entire head, making it possible to wear the glasses for long periods of time. Epson responded to feedback from users in the field by adopting a new mechanism that enables the glasses to be easily attached to a helmet simply by swapping an accessory attachment.
