Heavy-duty, intelligent, and efficient! Techman launches TM30S collaborative robot

Recently, Techman, a Taiwanese robot manufacturer, launched the TM30S heavy-duty collaborative robot for palletizing . The TM30S is an extension of Techman's TM AI collaborative robot series. With its innovative AI vision system and excellent load capacity, it brings a new automation solution to the manufacturing industry.

The biggest difference between collaborative robots and traditional industrial robots is that they can work safely with humans, which is especially important for complex manufacturing processes that require human-robot collaboration. Techman's TM30S is built based on this concept. It has a maximum load capacity of up to 35 kg and a working range of 1702 mm. Compared with similar models, it has achieved an excellent arm-to-weight ratio and can be used in various heavy-load application scenarios including palletizing, assembly, and handling.

In addition, TM30S has a built-in advanced artificial intelligence vision system. By integrating 3D cameras and AI recognition algorithms, the robot can accurately detect the size and position information of target objects, eliminating the reliance on third-party cameras. This intelligent design allows TM30S to perform actions such as picking and placing with ease, and can also autonomously handle complex scenarios such as tilting, fitting or winding of objects, without the need for manual pre-setting of the stacking mode, effectively improving production flexibility and efficiency.

Taking the semiconductor industry as an example, the manufacturing process of chips is extremely complex and requires a large number of repetitive and high-precision operations. Previously, these high-risk, monotonous and repetitive tasks were often completed manually. The investment in TM30S not only improves the degree of production automation, but also avoids the hidden dangers of workers engaging in high-intensity labor for a long time. Semiconductor manufacturers can use the human-machine collaboration capabilities of TM30S to deploy robots in key links such as chip loading and unloading, storage and testing, and collaborate safely with workers to greatly improve production efficiency and accuracy.

The automotive manufacturing industry can also benefit from the high automation capabilities of TM30S. The automobile assembly line is a typical scenario that requires close collaboration between humans and machines. TM30S can work safely with workers to help automate labor-intensive processes such as parts disassembly and assembly and material handling, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

In the machining industry, the efficient AI hybrid palletizing function of TM30S can create new automation value for enterprises. Intelligent palletizing not only reduces manpower input, but also greatly reduces the error rate, ensuring production efficiency and product quality.

At the same time, TM30S also perfectly meets the needs of emerging fields such as smart logistics and smart warehousing, injecting strong impetus into the modernization transformation of the manufacturing industry.

Strategic cooperation between Omron and Techman

As early as 2018, global automation giant Omron established a strategic partnership with Techman to introduce the latter's collaborative robot product line into Omron's global distribution network. In 2021, Omron acquired a 10% stake in Techman with the aim of jointly developing innovative robot products.

This partnership is mutually beneficial for both parties. For Omron, it can use Techman's advanced technology to expand its collaborative robot product line and provide customers with more comprehensive automation solutions; for Techman, it can make full use of Omron's global marketing network and channel resources to accelerate the internationalization of its own products.

However, the recent cooperation between Omron and another collaborative robot company Neura Robotics has raised questions about the relationship between Omron and Techman. However, Omron has made it clear that the cooperation with Neura will not affect the partnership with Techman, and the latter's collaborative robot series will still be an important part of Omron's product portfolio.

This undoubtedly adds confidence to Techman's development. With the support of Omron and its own innovative technical strength, Techman will surely occupy a place in the global collaborative robot market and help more manufacturing companies achieve automation and intelligent upgrades.
