Techman Robot and F.Fonseca Partnership to Explore the Market in Portugal and Accelerate New Opportunities in Automation.
 
F.Fonseca has obtained the rights for the distribution for Portugal of the TM Cobots from Techman Robot. This Taiwanese manufacturer develops and produces cobots which are equipped with integrated vision as standard.
Cobots are relatively inexpensive, can be utilised in a plug & produce manner, feature user-friendly programming and can be used without safety provisions. As a result, cobots can work both next to people as well as with people. Cobots are increasingly being integrated in assembly lines, for machine loading and other applications.

The TM 5 cobots are the first cobots which are equipped with integrated vision as standard and as a result differentiate themselves in this market from other manufacturers. With this “Smart” function, the Techman cobots are able to recognize patterns and colors, locate objects, read barcodes, etc. This makes the Techman cobots highly suitable for the performance of precise tasks within a high-mix, low-volume environment.

F.Fonseca will sell the TM5 cobots to integrators and automation companies in Portugal. For this, support facilities will be set up at the head office of F.Fonseca in Aveiro for inventory, demonstrations, (online) training and service.
Techman Robot has a strong parent company and invests a large portion of its turnover in R&D. Since the introduction of the first TM cobots, the manufacturer has experienced a doubling of the annual sales of these units. Techman Robot has selected F.Fonseca as a distributor on the basis of an extensive orientation and selection process.

So far, the product portfolio includes two models, the TM5-700 that features a range of 700 mm and can carry a load of 6 kg and the lighter TM5-900, which can handle a maximum load of 4 kg with a range of 900 mm.
