Oriental Motor launches OVR Series industrial robots
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.
