Omron invests in collaborative robot company Techman Robot

November 16, 2021 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Industrial giant Omron has reached an agreement for a capital investment in Techman Robot, believed to be the world’s second-largest collaborative robot brand.

Omron will hold a stake of approximately 10 percent in Techman. The investment is expected to be completed by December 2021.

In 2018, Omron entered into a strategic alliance with Techman to meet the increasing automation needs generated by labour shortages. [Read more…] about Omron invests in collaborative robot company Techman Robot

Omron releases new 3D vision sensor for robot arms

March 3, 2021 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Omron has released its new FH-SMD Series 3D Vision Sensor, which can be mounted on a robot to recognize randomly placed bulk automotive parts in three dimensions, enabling space-saving assembly, inspection, and pick and place, which are difficult with conventional robots, and improving productivity.

Production workers are hard to come by these days, and labor costs have risen sharply, says Omron. Manufacturers are now facing intense pressure to automate processes that rely on the senses of experienced human workers.

Moreover, production workers now need to work harmoniously with machines to raise productivity amid the Covid-19 crisis. In particular, the automotive industry requires vision sensors as the eyes of robots that are indispensable for automation because it is difficult for machines to recognize positions and postures of various complex shaped parts.

OnRobot releases ‘world’s most powerful’ electric vacuum gripper for robot arms

February 25, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

OnRobot has released what it describes as the “world’s most powerful” electric vacuum gripper for robot arms. 

OnRobot says its new VGP20 electric vacuum gripper provides a powerful and versatile solution for challenging palletising scenarios including heavy, bulky and porous surfaces.

Large, unwieldy bags of dog food, non-airtight clothing or consumer goods packages, and bulky, porous cardboard boxes. These are just some examples of demanding packaging and palletising applications that OnRobot’s new VGP20 gripper can address.

Omron launches new SCARA robot

January 25, 2021 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Omron has launched a new industrial robot, the i4 series SCARA robot, which the company says “automates high-speed, high-precision assembly and transportation with easy installation”.

The i4 series consists of an i4H medium to large sized, high-performance model and an i4L that is compact and suitable for lightweight applications.

By seamlessly integrating and controlling the “i4 series” robots and the robot-hands, or end effector, and other peripheral devices; the interlocking of each device is enabled and complicated tasks which could not be done with conventional SCARA robots are now automated.

AI Enabled Robots are Coming

November 11, 2020 by Elaine Leave a Comment

By Michael Frankland, Business Consultant – Factory Automation, Pivot Search

We’ve entered a new age of automation: the artificially intelligent robots are coming.
When AI enabled robots hit the manufacturing mainstream, the implications will be huge.

With the right combination of hardware, robotics will have an application in manufacturing for nearly every industry. Processes will become quicker, more accurate and more cost-effective.

Robotics in Manufacturing

The first thing to note is that when we talk about robotics within this article, we are referring to a physical piece of hardware without the ability ‘to think’ for itself, usually due to a lack of appropriate software and/or hardware.

Right now, most industrial robots are not artificially intelligent and are only programmed to carry out a repetitive series of movements, usually within a caged environment separated from humans. [Read more…] about AI Enabled Robots are Coming

Omron expands safety offering with visual lockout/tagout and arc flash labeling services

September 17, 2020 by Liv Leave a Comment

Industry-leading automation solutions and safety services provider Omron Automation Americas has partnered with Brady Corporation to add dedicated service offerings for lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and arc flash risk mitigation to further help manufacturers maintain compliance and protect their employees.

These new services are part of Omron’s commitment to providing holistic management for safe manufacturing facilities in various industries.

Lockout/tagout problems are consistently among the top five violations for regulatory agencies in the Americas. When a company’s employees need to perform maintenance, repairs or adjustments (including line changeovers), it’s essential to have measures in place to keep them safe from hazardous machine motion by isolating and dissipating the machines’ energy sources.

Omron starts a virtual tour to its automation center

September 1, 2020 by Liv Leave a Comment

Omron will commence a virtual tour to its Automation Centre (ATC), a factory automation (FA) technology center where customers join with Omron to find solutions to their manufacturing issues.

Allowing customers from around the world to view on their computers the virtual content that features facilities and demonstration machines at the flagship Automation Centre Tokyo (ATC-Tokyo), the largest of 37 ATCs across the globe, this new service gives global customers the most realistic experiences of Omron’s state-of-the-art FA technology anytime, anywhere.

By using digital transformation (DX), Omron is capable of accelerating its unique solutions without the “three Cs,” namely, closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings, thus safely contributing to solutions to customers’ issues on the production floor.
