Omron Robotics has expanded its TM S Series collaborative robot portfolio with three new models and a major software update, supporting manufacturers facing labour shortages and increasing requirements for flexible, high-mix production.
The TM30S, TM20S and TM6S extend the series’ payload and reach capabilities for applications such as palletising, machine tending and precision handling.
New TM S series models
The expanded range includes:
- TM30S: 30 kg payload model designed for heavy-duty collaborative tasks including palletising and machine tending.
- TM20S: 20 kg payload unit offering extended reach for mid-to-high payload operations.
- TM6S: Long-reach 6 kg payload model optimised for precision handling, welding support and mobile robot integration.
Hardware enhancements
Across the S Series, Omron has introduced upgrades to increase durability and support faster redeployment. All robot arms now feature an IP65 rating for use in washdown or dust-prone environments.
Higher-payload units (TM25S, TM30S) incorporate an integrated joint 6 force-torque wrist sensor for improved force-controlled processes.
The updated Landmark 2.0 vision-based positioning system is designed to reduce recalibration time when moving robots between stations.
TMflow 2.22 software release
Omron has also released TMflow 2.22, an update to its no-code programming environment. The new version introduces more granular safety configuration options, expanded remote monitoring and diagnostics, and a higher-fidelity simulation engine.
Integrated vision tools have been strengthened to support inspection and pick-and-place tasks with greater accuracy.
Qiqi Wang, global product manager at Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies, says: “By introducing the TM30S, TM20S, and TM6S alongside crucial upgrades like IP65 certification and the integrated joint 6 force torque sensor, we are empowering our customers to automate their most challenging, heavy-duty tasks with greater safety, precision, and flexibility than ever before.
“TMflow 2.22 ensures that this immense power remains easy to program and manage, upholding our commitment to harmonious automation.”
