What is it?
The Omron TM25 is a 6-axis collaborative robot with 25 kg payload and 1,300 mm reach, the largest arm in the TM-series. The TM25 extends the TM-series built-in vision architecture to palletising, heavy machine tending, and large-component handling at the upper boundary of collaborative robot capability. The integrated 5 MP wrist camera enables vision-guided operation across the full working envelope at 25 kg capacity — a unique specification in the global cobot market.
Who is it for?
- Automotive manufacturers handling large body panels, engine components, and subassemblies with vision confirmation
- Aerospace assemblers requiring vision-guided placement of large structural components
- Food and beverage producers combining vision-based inspection with high-payload case and container handling
- Logistics operators needing vision-guided heavy package sortation at collaborative deployment speeds

How it compares
The Universal Robots UR30 (30 kg, 1,300 mm) has 5 kg more payload at the same reach but no built-in vision. The Fanuc CRX-25iA (25 kg, 1,889 mm) matches payload and exceeds reach but also lacks integrated vision. The TM25 is the only 25 kg collaborative robot with built-in vision as standard.
Limitations
- ±0.1 mm repeatability is the weakest in the TM-series; not suitable for precision assembly at this payload
- 1,300 mm reach cannot address full euro-pallet stacking from a fixed position
- Built-in camera is wrist-mounted only; external field-of-view applications require separate overhead camera
- Collaborative speed limits under ISO/TS 15066 constrain throughput for high-cycle heavy handling
FAQ
What is the TM25 payload and reach?
The TM25 has a 25 kg payload and 1,300 mm reach. With a typical 3–5 kg gripper, effective part capacity is 20–22 kg, covering most heavy automotive components and large containers.
What repeatability does the TM25 achieve?
The TM25 achieves ±0.1 mm repeatability, the weakest in the TM-series. This is acceptable for palletising, heavy handling, and inspection but not for precision assembly tasks requiring ±0.05 mm or better.
What makes the TM25 unique at its payload class?
The TM25 is the only 25 kg collaborative robot with built-in wrist camera as standard. Competitors at this payload class — including UR30 and Fanuc CRX-25iA — require separate vision system integration.
What applications is the TM25 best suited to?
The TM25 excels in vision-guided heavy machine tending, large-component handling with visual confirmation, palletising assist, and heavy inspection tasks where combined payload and integrated vision are both required.
How does the TM25 compare to the Universal Robots UR30?
The UR30 has 30 kg payload (5 kg more) at the same 1,300 mm reach, without built-in vision. The TM25 adds integrated camera capability. For applications requiring vision guidance at 25 kg payload, the TM25 is the more complete system at lower total integration cost.
