Omron introduces high-performance collaborative robot for heavy payloads

Omron has announced the launch of its new TM20 cobot with a payload of 20 kg, meeting the needs of tasks such as palletising, machine tending and material handling. The Omron TM20 has a small footprint and a reach of 1.3 m.

The TM20 is the latest addition to the Omron family of TM cobots, which are known for their ease of use, reliability, and safety. It is designed to work seamlessly with other Omron products, including sensors, controllers, and software, to provide a comprehensive automation solution for industrial customers.

One of the key features of the Omron TM20 is its lightweight design, weighing in at just 33 kg. This makes it easy to integrate with mobile robots, providing greater flexibility and efficiency in industrial environments. The robot also comes equipped with special joint covers to protect it from cutting oil and other hazardous materials, making it suitable for use in machine tending applications.

“We are excited to launch the Omron TM20, which expands the capabilities of our cobot family and gives customers the ability to automate heavy payload applications,” says Fernando Vaquerizo, fixed and cobots product marketing manager at Omron Europe. “The Omron TM20 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.”
