OMRON, a leading provider of industrial automation solutions, has announced the launch of its new OMRON TM20 cobot with a payload of 20 kg. The new cobot is ideal for tasks such as palletizing, machine tending and material handling. Whilst managing heavy payloads, the OMRON TM20 has a small footprint and a reach of 1,3 meters.

The OMRON TM20 is the latest addition to the OMRON family of TM cobots, which are known for their ease of use, reliability, and safety. It is designed to work seamlessly with other OMRON products, including sensors, controllers, and software, to provide a comprehensive automation solution for industrial customers.
