During our trip to Chicago for AUTOMATE 2024, we made sure to visit Omron Automation's Proof of Concept Center. There, we got an up-close look at the new TM S series collaborative robot (cobot). Thanks to Mark Skaer, Omron's Automation Engineer for Motion Control Solutions, we learned all about its advanced features. Today's blog will outline these features, helping simplify and make industrial automation more efficient.

The TM S series isn't just an upgrade; it's collaborative robotics technology focused on versatility and safety. It offers significant improvements over the already impressive TM series. Here's what sets the TM S apart:
One of the TM S's most striking features is its integrated camera and advanced landmark technology. This innovative system enables the robot to seamlessly orient itself within a new environment by scanning a predefined landmark, eliminating the need for recalibration when relocated. This capability is crucial in projects where flexibility and rapid adaptability are necessary for success.
Safety is a top priority for collaborative robots operating alongside human workers. The TM S series builds on Omron's commitment to safety by introducing 31 safety features, 13 more than its predecessor, the TM, making integrating external safety devices for customers easier., and oil-resistant end caps, ensuring the robot's longevity and reliability in different industrial conditions.
But don't forget, additional safety sensors or other provisions may be required based on configured speeds and an application risk assessment. If you need a risk assessment, check out our risk assessment solutions by our machine safety group, MPSA. |
The TM S introduces an innovative feature: oil-resistant caps. This enhancement significantly boosts reliability, particularly in machine-tending applications. The oil-resistant caps are designed to withstand exposure to various oils commonly used in industrial settings, such as hydraulic and lubricating. This not only increases the TM S's overall durability but also reduces maintenance costs, as the machine is less likely to be affected by oil contamination.
The TM S's wide-screen teach pendant makes program setups and adjustments simple. Think about it: how often do you struggle with clunky interfaces? The TM S addresses this by introducing a new scripting language, granting advanced users greater control while still maintaining an intuitive flowchart-based programming language for beginners. This dual approach ensures both newbies and pros can use the system smoothly. It's easy enough to understand that even a kid (my son) can do it. Check it out.
The TM S series is built for diverse industrial applications and features four models: TM5S, TM7S, TM12S, and TM14S. Check out the image beloe for max payloas or download our data sheet.
