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.
Using a single RC8A controller for multiple DENSO robots reduces system complexity, programming learning curve, training requirements, spare parts inventory, and maintenance overhead while enabling coordinated multi-robot operations.
WINCAPS Plus enables intuitive 3D visual program development without extensive text-based programming. Operators can visualize robot motion, simulate collisions, and optimize programs using graphical interface rather than complex code.
The RC8A supports standard industrial fieldbus networks including Ethernet, RS-485, and others depending on module configuration. This enables integration with facility automation systems and real-time control.
Yes, the RC8A is designed for industrial manufacturing with IP54 protection and robust electronics. For extremely harsh environments (extreme dust, moisture, temperature), specialized enclosures or environmental protection may be recommended.
