Unlocking New Possibilities: OnRobot Now Supports TM30S and TM30SX Cobots
In a significant move for collaborative automation, OnRobot has expanded its compatibility to support the Techman Robot TM30S and TM30SX models. This added functionality opens the door to new, high-impact integration opportunities, especially for applications requiring higher payloads, giving integrators and manufacturers more flexibility and stronger performance at the robot’s end-of-arm.
Whether you’re deploying a full robotic systems integration solution or a targeted application upgrade, this update means you can now combine Techman’s most robust cobots with some of OnRobot’s most powerful end of arm tooling, maximizing payload capacity without compromising ease of use.
Why This Compatibility Matters

As the demand for collaborative robots (cobots) grows, manufacturers are seeking solutions that can handle heavier payloads while maintaining safety, precision, and adaptability. The Techman TM30S and TM30SX cobots, known for their impressive 30 kg payload capacity, are built for such challenges. With OnRobot now fully supporting these models, users can integrate a wide variety of advanced tools, including:
- Dual 2FG14 or 3FG25 Grippers – Ideal for handling large or dual-part manipulation tasks, perfect for packaging, palletizing, or machine tending.
- VGP30 Vacuum Gripper – One of the most powerful OnRobot grippers, now optimized for use with high-payload cobots.

Streamlined Robotic Integration with D:PLOY or Traditional Methods
The Techman TM30S and TM30SX can now be integrated with OnRobot tooling using:
- D:PLOY-Based Solutions: Reduce deployment time with OnRobot’s intuitive, no-code environment that speeds up robotic systems integration. Ideal for users looking to simplify and scale quickly.
- Traditional Integration: For those preferring a more customizable setup, OnRobot continues to offer full support outside of D:PLOY, giving integrators the freedom to fine-tune their solution.
This flexibility means integrators can now deploy complex robotic workflows using heavy-duty Techman robots, paired with precision OnRobot grippers, in record time.
End-of-Arm Tooling for Robots: New Levels of Performance
With the TM30 series support, end of arm tooling for robots just got more robust. These integrations are tailor-made for industries demanding power and precision, such as logistics, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. You can now confidently tackle:
- High-volume palletizing
- Material handling of bulky or awkward items
- Dual-part handling for increased cycle efficiency
- Custom applications requiring both force and reach
The ability to integrate two OnRobot grippers on a single high-payload cobot opens the door to automation strategies not previously possible.
Seamless Compatibility for Techman Robots
This update further strengthens the partnership between OnRobot and Techman Robots, whose collaborative arms are gaining popularity across industries for their ease of use and integrated vision capabilities. For end-users, this means fewer barriers between concept and execution.
Unlock the Future of Robotic Systems Integration
The expanded support from OnRobot is more than just a technical update – it’s an opportunity for manufacturers and integrators to push boundaries. With greater payload flexibility, smarter tooling options, and a streamlined integration process, your next automation project just got a lot more powerful.
