New robotics organization founded
Omron has announced the establishment of a global robotics organization effective April 1, 2025. It will operate in parallel with Omron's automation business so that both areas can complement and support each other.
Vision sensors control UR cobots
Baumer has developed the new robot-compatible VeriSens vision sensors XF900 and XC900. They can control the cobots from Universal Robots after just a short set-up time.
