Mobile Collaborative Robot
OMR Series Installation & Repair
Independent installation and repair for Okuma’s OMR10 and OMR20 mobile collaborative robots — including the control electronics, sensors and drives behind them.

What the OMR Series Is
The Okuma Mobile Robot (OMR) Series is a mobile collaborative robot — a cobot on a movable base rather than fixed in one place — designed for high-mix, low-volume production. A single unit can connect to up to 10 machines, moving between them rather than being permanently dedicated to just one, which makes it a genuinely different automation strategy from ARMROID or STANDROID.
OMR is designed around fast changeovers: stocker setup for a workpiece change takes roughly one minute, and starting up a completely new workpiece takes around ten minutes with parameter entry and a setup-saving stocker. Because it’s collaborative by design, no safety fence is required, and operators can still access the front of the machine even with an OMR unit docked in position. Two sizes are available — OMR10, with a 5kg workpiece payload, and OMR20, at 10kg.
We install OMR units on compatible machines and repair the electronics on units already in service. We are an independent service provider — see our retrofit & modernization and testing & diagnostics services for more on how we approach this kind of work.

What’s Included
Like STANDROID, OMR ships as a packaged cell. Here’s what’s inside, and what we support on each piece.
Three-Jaw Workpiece Hand
Gripper for holding round or shaft-type workpieces securely during transfer.
Parallel Hand
Parallel-jaw gripper for flange-type, block, or flat workpieces.
Mobile Docking Station
Lets the unit position itself precisely at each machine it’s assigned to serve.
Setup-Saving Stocker
Retains parameter settings between jobs, which is what makes the fast changeover times possible.

What We Repair on the OMR Series
Because the OMR moves between machines rather than staying fixed to one, its navigation and docking electronics see wear patterns that fixed cells don’t. Here’s what we work on.
Robot Control Boards
Coordinate the arm’s motion and communicate with whichever machine the unit is currently docked at.
Arm & Base Servo Drives
Amplifiers for both the arm’s joints and the mobile base itself. A drive fault can affect either motion or positioning accuracy.
Docking & Positioning Sensors
Confirm the unit is precisely positioned before it starts working with a machine. A drift here causes misalignment at pickup or placement.
Joint Encoders & Feedback
Report the arm’s exact position back to the control. A failing encoder causes drift that’s easy to mistake for mechanical wear.
Parameter Interface & Display
The panel used to enter workpiece parameters and manage the setup-saving stocker. We repair the display and interface boards behind it.
Power Supply Units
Regulates voltage to the unit’s onboard control and drive electronics — one of the first things we check on any fault.
Common OMR Faults
Misalignment when docking at a machine
Usually a positioning sensor rather than a mechanical issue with the base — we test docking accuracy at each machine the unit is assigned to.
Arm loses position or won’t move
Typically traced to a specific joint’s servo drive or encoder — we test each individually rather than assuming the whole arm needs replacement.
Saved parameters not loading correctly
Often a stocker memory or interface board fault rather than an operator error — worth checking before re-entering settings from scratch.
Interface unresponsive or frozen
Display and interface board faults are common on units that have been running for years — usually repairable at board level.
See our fault analysis service for more on how we approach an OMR diagnosis.
Compatible Okuma Machines
OMR units are designed to connect across a wide range of Okuma turning and machining platforms.
How OMR Installation & Repair Works
New installation and repair follow different paths, but both start the same way: tell us what you need.
1
Tell Us the Goal
New installation across your compatible machines, or a fault on an existing unit — plus how many machines it needs to serve.
2
We Scope the Work
For installs, we confirm machine compatibility and docking layout. For repairs, we identify the faulty board or drive.
3
Install, Commission or Repair
On-site installation and docking setup across your machines, or component-level bench repair.
4
Tested Before Handover
Verified under load at every machine it’s assigned to — before we call it done.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We are an independent service company, not an authorized Okuma dealer, distributor or service partner. We install, retrofit and repair OMR units on compatible machines.
STANDROID is dedicated to a single machine. OMR is mobile — a single unit can serve up to 10 machines by moving between them, which suits shops with more machines than they can justify dedicating a robot to individually.
No — OMR is collaborative by design, so a safety fence isn’t required, and operators can still work at the front of the machine even with the unit docked in position.
Our repair focus is the control electronics, servo drives, sensors and interface boards — the parts of an OMR fault that are almost always the root cause of a unit that’s stopped working. We don’t perform mechanical arm repairs.
Up to 10 is the documented maximum, though the practical number depends on your cycle times and how the unit’s schedule works across those machines. We can help you think through a realistic layout.
