The OMRON TM Collaborative Robot

Within any manufacturing environment there are a multitude of repetitive tasks, such as palletising, assembly, packaging, inspection and many more which are essential to keep the production line working efficiently.

The nature of these repetitive tasks can increase employee fatigue, in turn reducing the overall production effectiveness and efficiency.

Although traditional robots are already an integral part of the manufacturing landscape, Omron have developed a multi-application collaborative robot unlike any other.

To enable the cobot to work with or closely to humans it comes equipped with customisable safety features in a software interface that facilitates risk assessment.

Unlike traditional robots, the TM collaborative robot doesn’t have to stop its operation entirely when a worker enters its workspace, only having to reduce its function speed allowing the worker to safely manoeuvre around the robot.

The union of the robot alongside human workers dramatically boosts productivity, quality and flexibility – due to simple integration with other equipment and rapid set up allowing the robot to learn new tasks in a matter of minutes.
