Hi Welcome to Ramco TV,
my name is Brad Vorrie one of the automation specialists at Ramco.
Robots have been used in manufacturing for well over 20 years.
You may have heard the latest buzzword in the industry, Cobots, or Collaborative Robots
Omron recently released the TM Series of Cobots
which might be the perfect fit for your needs.
Let's take a look.
♪♪
The Omron TM series of collaborative robots
are designed to work right next to a person
enabling them to do their job more efficiently.
The TM robots come in a variety of reaches
from 700-1300mm
and payloads from 4kg to 14kg.
With an IP54 environmental housing
they can withstand a majority of manufacturing environments.
The TM robot is driven from a standalone controller
but can interface with external automation equipment
using its onboard digital and analog inputs and outputs.
One of the best features of the TM Cobot
is the intuitive programming software.
It is flow chart based and very easy to understand
which allows non-technical people to program the robot
with just a few basic instructions.
This software can be used through the TM’s onboard computer 
or with a personal laptop.
There are 3 main buttons on the robot that assist in programming.
The free button allows users to physically guide the robot
into place without the need for a teach pendant.
The point button will record the current position of the robot 
onto a point on the flow chart.
The gripper button will pick up parts
or release parts into position
and record those commands onto a point on the flow chart.
The most impressive feature of the TM Series
is the onboard camera.
The camera can be used to re-orient the robot to a workspace,
based on a known landmark.
This is useful if you wish to move the robot
from workspace to workspace
and eliminates the need to preciously locate the robot.
The TM series of collaborative robots,
from Omron Automation
will help fill an important role in the industry.
Robots can be easily trained to perform almost any task,
freeing your workforce from repetitive tasks
and increasing your productivity.

Thanks for watching and be safe out there.
