Scalable machine automation solutions from Omron

Omron Electronics offers scalable automation systems based experience gained on its machine automation global customer base of over 50,000 machine builders. Called Lean Automation, Stream Automation and X-Stream Automation, they cover applications from compact single machine, integrated machines for fast and flexible flow-automation; and flexible production cell Automation

Lean Automation

Dedicated for one machine/one function it is a simple, compact and easy to use and maintain solution. It is designed to address small and compact machines performing one dedicated task. It can fit into stand-alone machines or modules within a larger machine. Its merit lies in its simplicity, compactness and cost performance.

User benefits

– Cost-effective solution without compromising on quality and performance

– Simplicity of programming and wiring

– Space saving thanks to ultra-compact product designs and side-by-side mounting of inverters

– Remote diagnostics over Ethernet or Serial connection

– State of the art colour HMI

Typical features

– Rugged and robust PLC control

– Up to 4 axis of point-to-point motion

– HMI, servo and inverters included

– Remote access to the controller

Stream Automation

Designed for fast and flexible flow-automation. By introducing network connectivity the system offers a highly flexible configuration that provides a single access point to the whole machine. Aimed at flexible and high speed continuous automation, it relies on “all-digital” connectivity across all layers. Essential functions like control, motion, regulation and safety are handled through a single software, and all devices are accessed via one single point. The integrated approach allows easy programming and full remote servicing down to field device level.

User benefits

– Highly flexible machines thanks to an all digital motion control platform

– Compact machines due to side by side mounting of ultra-slim servo and inverter drives

– One software and one connection allow full machine management.

Typical features

– Control of 16 servo axes

– One software for all automation tasks

– Active visualization with smart functionality for device monitoring and configuration

– Remote access across all the automation layers

X-Stream Automation

For flexible production cell automation. Uses a single machine controller for control and management of the machine. Logic and advanced motion control in one module, including robotics and vision systems. X-Stream offers the highest machine performance levels based on one machine controller, an ultra-fast Ethernet based Fieldbus, and the integration of vision and robotics as key elements in the automation solution.

User benefits

– A single source supplier of products and expertise

– Faster machines utilising leading edge controller, servos and networks

– Compact machines through the use of the latest design in drives, robotics and digital networks

– Integrated vision and inspection capability

– One software for Motion, Logic, Safety and Vision

Typical features

– Up to 64 axis motion control

– One software for network configuration, programming, 3D simulation and monitoring

– Delta robot and linear motor axis control

– Vision sensor with encoder input for tracking function

– FSoE – Safety over EtherCAT
