Manufacturer
Omron
Japanese electronics and automation company that entered robotics through its acquisition of Adept Technology, now selling TM-series cobots alongside its sensing and vision products.
Omron is a long-established maker of sensors, PLCs, and safety equipment that expanded into robotics with the 2015 acquisition of Adept Technology, gaining the Viper and Cobra robot lines.
The company later added the TM-series collaborative robots, originally developed by Techman Robot, to round out its lineup with an easy-to-deploy cobot option.
Omron positions its robots as part of a broader factory automation package, integrating robot control with its vision systems, safety controllers, and mobile robot platforms.
This systems-level approach makes Omron a common choice for plants already standardized on its sensors and PLCs looking to add robotics without a new vendor relationship.
