Omron Adept Robotics
Adept is an industry leader in the development of innovative and powerful industrial robots for high-speed, precision manufacturing, packaging, and factory automation.
Omron’s unique combination of software and control architecture addresses factory automation challenges. From producing a high volume high variety mix of products to short product lifecycles that require rapid production line changes, Omron has the robotic solution for your application.
i4 SCARA Robots - Coming soon!
Omron has announced a new generation of Scara robots which, it claims, are the first with a built-in condition monitoring and the ability to indicate when they need attention. It also says that they are the first with built-in EtherCat controls and communications, allowing them to synchronise their operation with other automation devices to perform fast, accurate assembly, insertion and mounting operations with high throughputs.
The i4 robots, which made their debut at the recent Automatica exhibition in Germany, have a light ring embedded into their base that indicates the status of the robot and warns operators of any actions that are required. Omron describes the colour-coded light ring as the world’s first illuminated robot “health” indicator, informing users of its current status and avoiding the need for manual checks and maintenance plans.
SCARA Robots
Adept Cobra Robot
High-performance SCARA robot system for mechanical assembly, material handling, packaging, machine tending, screw driving, and other applications that require fast and precise automation.
- Adept ACE software deploys your applications through a user-friendly interface
- High-resolution, absolute encoders give you high accuracy, superior slow-speed following, and easy calibration
- High-efficiency, low-inertia Harmonic Drives and a lightweight arm deliver maximum acceleration

Adept eCobra Robot
Omron's Adept eCobra 600/800 SCARA robot series features 600 or 800-mm reach and is available in three performance tiers, each designed to address different application complexity and throughput requirements.
- All amplifiers and controls are fully embedded into the robot to maximize valuable floor space and reduce installation costs (cables, control cabinets, labor, etc)
- Three performance levels (Lite, Standard, and Pro) based on a common hardware platform. Maximizes value by only paying for the performance required for the application, without sacrificing hardware quality
- Advanced features such as direct PLC programming are included in Standard and Pro performance tiers- minimize training and deployment time using familiar ladder logic programming languages of existing PLC
Delta Robots
Adept Hornet Robot
The Hornet 565 is a parallel robot for high-speed picking and packaging applications. It features a hygienic design that minimizes contamination risks, including a standard IP65 rated work area and corrosion resistant materials for easy wash down.

Mobile Robots
Self navigating Autonomous Intelligent Vehicle (AIV)
The Omron LD Mobile Robot is a self navigating Autonomous Intelligent Vehicle (AIV) designed for dynamically moving material in challenging environments that may include confined passageways as well as dynamic and peopled locations. Unlike traditional autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs), Omron Mobile Robots requires no facility modifications, such as floor magnets or navigational beacons, saving users up to 15% in deployment costs.
The LD includes Omron’s proprietary software and controls allowing it to intelligently navigate around people and unplanned obstacles, that render traditional AGVs incapacitated and it can be programmed and functional within a day. Designed for developers, integrators, and end-users the system can be customized for a variety applications and payloads. Manufacturing, warehousing, clean tech, and laboratories are just a few environments ideal for the mobile robot.
