Shibaura Machine partners with SICK for robot demonstration
TM Robotics will exhibit at the Assembly Show 2022, held on 25 to 27 October 2022, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. As the premium distributor for Shibaura Machine — formerly known as Toshiba Machine — industrial robots, TM Robotics will demonstrate the latest robotic technologies from Japan, including the new THE600 SCARA robot. TM Robotics will exhibit at stand 646.
The THE600 is the latest SCARA robot model from Shibaura Machine. The robot builds on the successes of the earlier THE400, but with improved synchronisation and tracking precision. The model has been specifically developed for assembly and inspection applications and will be exhibited with the TS5000 robot controller, the latest controller from Shibaura Machine.
The TS5000 controller has been expertly engineered by Shibaura Machine for the modern factory. Compared to previous controllers, it provides three times faster position cycles to enable more control during rapid movement. Moreover, its data transmission has been enhanced to enable vibration analysis for smart maintenance.
In addition to the THE600 SCARA, TM Robotics will demonstrate the TVL700 six-axis model, a flagship robot from Shibaura Machine. The TVL range is vertically articulated with a compact size, making it ideal for end users that are short on space but would benefit from automation. The TVL boasts an aluminium extrusion cross section to reduce the weight of the robot without compromising on strength or performance.
At the show, it will be demonstrated working in collaboration with a vision system from sensor intelligence and automation company, SICK. The collaboration was first demonstrated in a webinar between both brands. The recording can be seen below.

“The TVL700 demonstration is an ideal example of how Shibaura Machine robots can integrate seamlessly with other manufacturing technologies," Nigel Smith, President and CEO of TM Robotics.
"The robot will be exhibited in a parts handling application," continued Smith. "An area that requires machines, software and other devices to collaborate in real-time. The robot will communicate with SICK’s vision system to demonstrate the fast cycle times that can be achieved with state-of-the-art robotics and intelligent software.
“In addition, the THE600 robot will be on display. This is our latest and most in demand SCARA model from Shibaura Machine. For assembly applications, the THE range has been named as the price-to-performance leader due to its high speed and 60 per cent higher payload capacity than competing SCARA models in the same price range.”
