Cartesian robots cover arm, gantry, pole and double-Y layouts, and the YP-X series of pick and place robots has two to four axes. Single-axis robots are offered with servo, stepping motor and linear motor drive, alongside motor-less actuators. The unit also lists a seven-axis collaborative robot, Linear Conveyor Modules, clean robots, electric grippers, a robot vision system called RCXiVY2+, controllers and support software, and it accepts custom-order products.

Earlier in 2026 it added a battery specification for Indonesian SNI regulations to the EP-01 single-axis positioner. The site refers to an overseas sales network with international locations, though the page does not name the countries, and it gives no sales, headcount or market share figures.
