So just for anyone might interested, this past one year Omron had completely acquire Adept Robotics (California based robot manufacturer).

The products acquired including all Delta Arms and SCARA (Quattro, Hornet, Cobra), also some Articulated / 6-axes robots (Viper), programmed with the ACE software.

Other than that Adept also have Lynx AIV whose name is now changed to LD-Series.

Aside from having an already established Robot Controller with by acquiring Adept, Omron also developing it's NJ CPU to control mechanical arms that can be user-built, with condition that it uses EtherCAT based Servo Control.

The current version of NJ501-4XXX series PLC supports control over Delta Arms (3-axes + Rotation, 3-axes, 2-axes + Rotation, 2-axes), SCARA, and your usual Gantry XYZ+Rotation robot.

 

If anyone interest to discuss something about those do post here, or maybe create your own thread.
