Simplifying Integration: Techman Robot and Omron TM Tool Flange Connection
OnRobot products can now connect directly to the robot tool flange of Techman and Omron TM S-Series cobots. This innovation eliminates external wiring, streamlines integration, and reduces costs, making automation easier and faster than ever.
Why This Matters
Traditional integrations often require additional hardware like Compute Boxes and complex cable management systems. With this new capability, those challenges are a thing of the past. Whether you're using OnRobot’s D:PLOY platform or opting for traditional integration, this update simplifies deployment and enhances efficiency.
Key Benefits
- Plug & Produce: Connect the Quick Changer directly to the robot tool flange for seamless operation.
- Fast Installation: Import TMcraft components into TMflow software directly from a USB drive.
- Quick Setup: Configure everything within TMflow—no extra software or hardware required.
- Easy Programming: Tool commands integrate effortlessly into the programming interface.
- Intuitive Operation: A user-friendly interface ensures smooth and simple operation.
What’s New?
The new USB v1.77 includes TMcraft components v1.0.0.0 for TMflow 2 software and updated CB/EB v6.5.0 firmware. These updates ensure compatibility with a wide range of OnRobot tools.
