The cobot is the most powerful model yet in the TM series developed under a strategic alliance with the Taiwanese cobot specialist, Techman. Other models have load capacities from 6–16kg.
According to Fernando Vaquerizo, fixed and cobots product marketing manager at Omron Europe, the new machine “expands the capabilities of our cobot family and gives customers the ability to automate heavy-payload application. It is designed to be easy to use, reliable and safe. It relieves operators from tasks that involve heavy lifting, while working safely side-by-side with people.”
The cobot’s light weight will make it easy to integrate with mobile robots. Special joint covers protect it from cutting oil and other hazardous materials, making it suitable for machine-tending applications. The robot has fast joints which are said to reduce cycle times.
The cobot is designed to work with other Omron products including sensors, controllers and software. It comes with a two-year warrantee.
