Grupo Kopar Epson Range Extender

Grupo Kopar, a company based out of Mexico, offfers technical expertise and solutions for industrial automation. Working with leading brands around the world, Grupo Kopar distributes premium products for robotics, vision, connectivity and pneumatics.

As a leading industrial automation and robotics solutions provider in Mexico and Central America, Grupo Kopar’s team was looking to create a seventh axis for their VT6L Epson Robot to showcase to customers. With just a few weeks left before Expo Pack, a key trade show in their industry, the team needed to find a quick solution that they could begin working on fast.

Thanks to Vention’s extensive public design library, the team at Grupo Kopar were able to find a variety of design solutions that were available for customization and ready to ship.

Working directly on the MachineBuilder platform with the support of a Vention application engineer, the team was able to make all the key structural changes required to accommodate the Epson Range Extender. They were also able to integrate the Epson’s controller with Vention’s MachineMotion controller via Vention’s Python API, something they accomplished in under 24 hours.
