BUNKER PRO
The RC8A is DENSO's world-leading compact, high-performance 8-axis robot controller engineered for universal compatibility across all DENSO robot models. As the smallest high-performance robot controller in its class, the RC8A delivers advanced motion control, multiple I/O options, and flexible installation capability. Supporting up to 8 axes with simultaneous multi-robot control, the RC8A combines powerful processing with intuitive programming through WINCAPS software. The RC8A's unified controller approach enables seamless integration of any combination of DENSO robots (VP, VS, VM, SCARA, COBOTTA) on a single control platform, reducing system complexity and maintenance costs while maximizing flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
The RC8A supports up to 8 axes total. This could be one 6-axis robot plus one 2-axis external axis, or multiple smaller SCARA robots, or coordinated multi-robot systems. Configuration depends on specific application requirements.
The RC8A provides backward compatibility with older controller programs. Program migration may be required for optimal performance, and Denso provides tools and support for legacy program conversion.
One RC8A controller can handle multiple DENSO robots, simplifying your setup by cutting system complexity, easing the programming learning curve, reducing training needs, shrinking spare parts inventory, and lowering maintenance costs—all while letting you run coordinated multi-robot operations smoothly.
WINCAPS Plus makes it super easy to build 3D visual robot programs without diving into heavy text coding. Operators get to see robot movements in action, simulate potential collisions, and tweak programs using a straightforward graphical interface instead of wrestling with complex code.
The RC8A plays nice with standard industrial fieldbuses like Ethernet, RS-485, and more depending on your module setup. This lets you seamlessly integrate it into your facility's automation systems for real-time control.
Yes, the RC8A is built for tough industrial manufacturing with solid IP54 protection and rugged electronics. For really extreme conditions—like heavy dust, moisture, or wild temperatures—we recommend adding specialized enclosures or extra environmental shielding.
