Omron launches new series of industrial robots
Omron has launched a new series of 49 industrial robots in 39 countries around the world. Developed by Omron Adept Technologies, the robots have been integrated with Omron’s family of sensors, safety components and NX/NJ series machine automation controllers to simplify the introduction of robots in a production environment.
The launch covers three robot families – SCARA, delta and articulated robots – and brings both high speed performance and reliability to the mechanical side of the Omron solutions. All the robots can be controlled by a common integrated development environment which enables flexible use of robot types in line with required applications.
Omron industrial robot solutions seamlessly link all robots with the machine control environment managed by the Sysmac automation platform. This approach improves the total throughput of the most demanding production lines overtaking the limitations of the traditional framework that uses conventional robots.
The ‘Automation Control Environment’ (ACE) contains useful application-oriented wizards that significantly minimize the amount of programming codes. The users have access to a powerful 3D emulation tool that significantly reduces the time to validate new automated processes. Vision-guided robotics applications are completely supported by the ACE PackXpert for packaging lines.
Omron says its combination of software and control architecture addresses factory automation challenges of producing a high variety mix of products with short product lifecycles that require rapid production line changeovers. The common controls, integrated software architecture and development environment meet current and future needs for ease of process design, flexible operation and predictable maintenance. The flexibility and agility of our solutions is ideal for industries such as food and beverage, automotive products and high technology.
This global launch demonstrates OMRON’s ongoing focus on innovative solutions that advance manufacturing and productivity through integration of robots with sensing, control, motion and safety capabilities.
