OMRON introduces new high-payload collaborative robots and TMflow software upgrade

New TM S Series models

The expanded range includes:

TM30S: 30 kg payload model designed for heavy-duty collaborative tasks including palletising and machine tending.
TM20S: 20 kg payload unit offering extended reach for mid-to-high payload operations.
TM6S: Long-reach 6 kg payload model optimised for precision handling, welding support and mobile robot integration.

Hardware enhancements

Across the S Series, OMRON has introduced upgrades to increase durability and support faster redeployment. All robot arms now feature an IP65 rating for use in washdown or dust-prone environments. Higher-payload units (TM25S, TM30S) incorporate an integrated joint 6 force-torque wrist sensor for improved force-controlled processes. The updated Landmark 2.0 vision-based positioning system is designed to reduce recalibration time when moving robots between stations.
TMflow 2.22 software release

OMRON has also released TMflow 2.22, an update to its no-code programming environment. The new version introduces more granular safety configuration options, expanded remote monitoring and diagnostics, and a higher-fidelity simulation engine. Integrated vision tools have been strengthened to support inspection and pick-and-place tasks with greater accuracy. “By introducing the TM30S, TM20S, and TM6S alongside crucial upgrades like IP65 certification and the integrated joint 6 force torque sensor, we are empowering our customers to automate their most challenging, heavy-duty tasks with greater safety, precision, and flexibility than ever before. TMflow 2.22 ensures that this immense power remains easy to program and manage, upholding our commitment to harmonious automation,” said Qiqi Wang, Global Product Manager at OMRON Robotics and Safety Technologies.
