Techman robot (TM robot) - Leading the trend of collaborative robots

Techman Robot (TM robot) is among the pioneering cobot manufacturers globally to integrate a vision system and many other utilities into its collaborative robot models, enabling them to operate independently and handle even the simplest applications without the need for extensive integration work. It can be said that TM robot is not just a mere collaborative robot arm but rather a "standalone cobot solution".

1. TM Robot is renowned for its three key features: SMART - SIMPLE - SAFE, which are the primary distinguishing factors setting TM Robot apart from others:

1. SMART - Integrated Vision System: 

TM Robot is equipped with an integrated vision system that seamlessly integrates hardware and software. This differs significantly from supplementary vision systems for robots, which typically require more time and expense to implement.

Object Detection Module
Supports shape-based/template matching, position alignment, and anomaly detection to identify specific objects within view. Users can also utilize external image processing systems for object detection and send results back to TMvision.
Advanced Image Processing Module
Enhances contrast, smoothness, and image thresholding, morphology, color plane extraction, and image flipping.
Barcode Recognition Module
Reads barcodes/QR codes/2D DataMatrix, color classification, and string matching. Users can also use external systems for classification and send results back to TMvision.

User-Process-Oriented Interface

TMvision features a user-process-oriented interface, making it easy to follow software instructions and organize functional processes step-by-step. Your tasks can be deployed immediately with visual task planning!                                                                                                                    

Visual Calibration with One Click

Simply place the TM calibration board under the camera, and the rest of the calibration process is streamlined with just a click of the button for both EIH and ETH vision.                                                                                                                                                                                      

TM Landmark

This unique feature allows TM Robot to scan landmarks and update the coordinates of all objects in the workspace without needing re-adjustments. TM Landmark breaks traditional constraints by enabling flexible robot movement much faster than before.

2. SIMPLE - Replacing Traditional Programming with Intuitive Interface and Graphics:

Patented technology enables even inexperienced users to quickly grasp and program their initial robot tasks.

With TMflow - No More Difficult Programming

Manage TM Robot's functions and programming using TMflow, an innovative software that allows for task-based editing and programming through simple drag-and-drop motions. With TMflow, you can create your own cobot projects without needing complex programming skills.

Don't want to waste time recreating similar workflows across different robot tasks?
TM Component EditorTM empowers you to package compiled flows into components. You can reuse these components in new projects to significantly reduce setup time. With customizable components, it also simplifies project workflows and allows for quick edits.

3. SAFE - Force Limiting Function:

Techman Robot adheres to safety requirements for human-robot collaboration with ISO 10218-1:2011 & ISO/TS 15066:2016 standards.

Ensure the safety of your workers and anyone near or interacting with TM Robot. These cobots immediately stop upon contact with any object, preventing injuries to both humans and machines.

Safety is Our Priority

TM Robot allows you to specify and set safety levels based on body parts that could potentially be harmed by the robot within the TMflow user interface. You can also set speed limits for the robot arm while operating in collaborative workspaces. Furthermore, TM Robot is capable of emergency stops upon detecting collisions, minimizing potential damages.

2. TM Robot develops an extensive range of supplementary utilities for all your integrated tasks.

Techman Robot is not just a robot manufacturer. We are dedicated to developing software and hardware solutions seamlessly integrated with our robots. TM Add-Ons can help you integrate cobots into your production line more quickly and easily, such as deploying additional utilities like conveyor tracking, AI modules, ROS controllers, and more!
