Oriental Motor OVR Series Small Robots: Low-Cost Automation for Factories
By AB Automation Team2 min read
Not every factory needs a large six-axis robot. For simple, repetitive tasks, small robots for automation such as the Oriental Motor OVR series are compact, easy to program and far more affordable.

What are OVR series robots?
OVR robots are built on the mechanisms of the AZ series motors. They are small, simple and inexpensive, and can be programmed with simple commands instead of complex robot languages.
Main features
- Compact shapes that fit into existing lines and machines
- Operation programming and simulation before you build
- Selection calculations and technical seminars
- Testing with actual equipment and on-site start-up support
Where small robots pay back quickly
Electronics assembly
Screw driving, part insertion, dispensing and testing need accuracy and repeatability in small spaces.
Packaging and FMCG
Transferring, loading and sorting small items at a steady rate reduces manual handling.
Pharma and lab automation
Repeatable placement of vials, trays and samples with less operator variation.
Diamond and jewellery
Repeatable handling and positioning in inspection and processing stations.
Benefits for small and mid-size manufacturers
- Lower investment than conventional industrial robots
- Short programming and commissioning time
- Consistent quality and less rework
- Easy to relocate or reconfigure as products change
