OMRON TM12 robotic palletising system

OMRON TM12 robotic palletising system was built in 2021 in Taiwan by Techman Robot Inc. The system is designed to automate the palletisation of goods to facilitate their storage, transport and distribution. Used for this task, the reliable TM12 collaborative robot is distinguished by, among others, its robust arm and ease of deployment. Its compact size allows efficient operation in a limited area, without interference with peripheral equipment. Excellent movement dynamics combined with high process reliability are in turn ensured by the servomotors that drive each of its six axes. All this is complemented by an advanced PLC controller that integrates the operation of various systems within a single integrated programming environment.

The OMRON palletizing robot included in the station has been used occasionally a few times a year for testing purposes and has never been in continuous operation.It is possible to purchase the robot itself at a price of €17 500 net.

The robotic palletising station is fully complete and consists of the following components:
– OMRON TM12 cobot
– PLC controller: OMRON NX1P2-9B24DT1
– vacuum gripper: OnRobot VGP20
– safety laser scanner: OMRON OS32C-BP VER2
– mechanical structure with telescopic lifting mechanism
– 12″ HMI touch panel: OMRON NA5-12W101S-V1
– sensors, electrical cabinets, safety and connectivity elements
