Oriental Motor has launched its new OVR Series of small industrial robots, which features articulated, cartesian, and SCARA models. The robots are powered by the αSTEP Hybrid AZ Series step-servo motors. Oriental Motor said these versatile robots are poised to have a major impact on improving automation operations.
The OVR Series features three types of robots:

The OVR Series articulated robots come in 4-axis, 5-axis, and 6-axis options. Users can control these robots with the MRC Series controller and AZ Series motor drivers. The robots feature a payload capacity of 1-5 kg, a parallel link mechanism, and can be combined with an electric linear slide for horizontal travel (5-axis and 6-axis).

The OVR Series SCARA robot is a small, 3-axis horizontal transport robot features a simple mechanism that can be controlled and constructed cost-effectively. The SCARA robot can be controlled with the MRC Series controller and AZ Series motor drivers. It offers a maximum reach of 410 mm and a payload capacity up to 3 kg.

Oriental Motor said its new cartesian robot comes in a 3-axis model that also can be controlled with the MRC Series controller and AZ Series motor drivers. It offers a payload capacity up to 2.5 kg and a moving range 300 mm × 300 mm × 100 mm (X-Y-Z).
The company said the caretsian robot comes pre-assembled with three linear slides for simplified setup and reduced labor time.
The company said its MRCU Series Integrated Robot Controller combines the MRC01 controller and up to 6 AZ Series mini-drivers in a single compact unit, streamlining wiring and saving space. It supports EtherNet/IPTM or I/O connectivity, making it an ideal choice for the new OVR Series or AZ Series DC input actuators.
The key features of the MRC01-C Cartesian Robot Controller, Oriental Motor said, include a three-step programming process, direct EtherNet/IPTM control without ladder logic, and the ability to test using the free MRC Studio Simulator software.
Since its founding in Japan in 1885, Oriental Motor has been a world leader in motion control systems, concentrating for over a century on technological advancement and product design improvement.
