OMRON TM12-X Cobot

Streamlining small-batch metal fabrication with collaborative robots

Guidetti Technology SRL, a Modena-based specialist with 50 years of experience in welding systems, sought to address a key challenge in metalworking: repetitive welding tasks were limiting production flexibility and tying up skilled welders.

To solve this, Guidetti integrated OMRON TM12-X collaborative robots into its EasyArc automated welding solution. Designed for small batches across various types of metal carpentry, the solution pairs the cobot with OMRON’s intuitive NB7 operator panel, NXP2 PLC, and Fronius modular welding technology. This setup supports a wide range of welding processes, including MIG (Short/Spray, Pulsed, LSC, PMC, STEEL), Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), TIG, and Plasma—with or without filler material.

Operators can easily manage and refine welding paths through the cobot controller, requiring minimal programming knowledge. The compact, mobile system can be quickly deployed or relocated to meet changing production needs, while built-in safety features protect operators. Industry 4.0 integration enables seamless data tracking for certification, analysis, and remote support.
