How did this partnership come about?

Reeco and OMRON developed the RB Series cobot palletiser together, combining Reeco's palletising and integration expertise with OMRON's TM Series collaborative arms.

Does Reeco only use OMRON's cobot arms?

No — Reeco is vendor-agnostic by design. Larger, higher-throughput systems like the RB2000 use full-size FANUC industrial arms instead. See How Do Reeco's Cobots Compare to Its FANUC Industrial Robot Arms? for when each is used.

Why does the specific arm matter to a buyer?

The arm determines payload, reach and safety behaviour — see Which Reeco Cobot Palletiser Model Is Right for Your Line? for how that plays out across the range.
