Omron sells four families of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs): the LD series for carts and light loads, the OL-450S with a built-in lift, the MD series for 650–900 kg and the HD-1500 for 1.5-tonne loads. The big change in 2026 is the LD series. Omron’s June 30, 2026 discontinuation notice for Europe sets November 15, 2026 as the last order date for the LD-60, LD-90, LD-90x and LD-250, with parts and maintenance until June 30, 2032. Their replacements, the LD-150 and LD-300, carry 150 kg and 300 kg at 2.1 m/s and arrive in Q4 2026. Omron publishes no prices; every unit is quoted by Omron or a partner.
Omron AMR models compared: payload, speed and runtime
| Model | Max payload | Max speed | Runtime (no load / full load) | Status, October 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LD-150 | 150 kg | 2.1 m/s | Not published | New, arriving Q4 2026 |
| LD-300 | 300 kg | 2.1 m/s | Not published | New, arriving Q4 2026 |
| LD-60 | 60 kg | 1.8 m/s | 15 h / 12 h | Final orders Nov 15, 2026 (Europe notice) |
| LD-90 | 90 kg | 1.35 m/s | 15 h / 12 h | Final orders Nov 15, 2026 (Europe notice) |
| LD-250 | 250 kg | 1.2 m/s | 13 h / 10 h | Final orders Nov 15, 2026 (Europe notice) |
| OL-450S | 450 kg | Not clearly stated | 11 h / 7 h | Current, launched April 2025 |
| MD-650 | 650 kg | 2.2 m/s | 10 h / 8 h | Current |
| MD-900 | 900 kg | 1.8 m/s | 10 h / 8 h | Current |
| HD-1500 | 1,500 kg | 1.8 m/s | 12.5 h / 9 h | Current (Laser v2 version) |
Figures are Omron’s own maximums from its product pages and datasheets. Real runtime depends on load, route, stops and how often the robot docks. The OL-450S page lists its speed with a unit error, so confirm it in the quote.
What changes when the LD-60, LD-90 and LD-250 are replaced
The Europe notice maps the LD-60, LD-90 and LD-90x (including ESD versions) to the LD-150, and the LD-250 to the LD-300. Final shipment of the old models is December 31, 2026. The old docking station 12477-050 is replaced by ordering parts 12477-000 and 14822-100 together.
- Power: the new robots use a 48 V system. Omron offers a power adapter for existing 24 V top modules.
- Size: the LD-150 measures 500 × 700 × 320 mm and the LD-300 580 × 800 × 320 mm. Adapter plates handle the height difference with existing toppers.
- Software: adding the new robots to an existing fleet may need a FLOW Core update; Omron recommends moving to FLOW Core v5.x.
- Safety coverage: the LD-300 scans 360°. The LD-150 covers 240°, with a rear field-of-view accessory planned for 2027. Both are certified to ISO 3691-4:2023 and handle 5° ramps and 1 m aisles, according to Omron’s LD page.
- Charging: 30 minutes or less on both new models.
The notice Omron published covers Europe. Its US discontinued-products page did not list the LD change when we checked, so ask your regional Omron office for the order cut-off that applies to you. Sites with a running LD fleet should also ask how mixed fleets of old and new LD robots are supported, since Omron describes the new models as backward compatible with legacy fleets.
OL-450S, MD and HD-1500: the heavier Omron AMRs
The OL-450S is an omnidirectional robot with a built-in lift that raises loads between 108 and 308 mm, rated for 450 kg. It charges wirelessly, about 25 minutes from 20% to 80%. Omron announced optional 1.2 m and 1.6 m masts in May 2026. Its ISO 3691-4 claim excludes clause 4.12, so check that clause against your application in the risk assessment.
The MD-650 and MD-900 navigate by natural features with two safety scanners for 360° coverage, charge from 20% to 80% in 19.6 minutes and are listed against ISO 3691-4 and ANSI/RIA R15.08. Omron’s datasheet lists accessories such as a top-plate seal kit, extra scanners and a mobile I/O box; conveyors and lifts come from integrators.
The HD-1500 carries 1,500 kg at up to 1.8 m/s and weighs 506 kg with its battery. The earlier “HD-1500 with Laser v1” took its last orders in October 2024 and was replaced by the Laser v2 version.
Omron’s fleet software and mobile manipulators
Omron runs all its AMR families from FLOW Core (Fleet Operations Workspace Core), with Fleet Manager or Virtual Fleet Manager as the traffic controller, MobilePlanner for mapping and a Fleet Simulator for layout testing. Omron’s datasheets give a fleet size of up to 100 robots per Fleet Manager and ask larger sites to contact the company. We found no official Omron statement on VDA 5050 support, so a mixed-vendor fleet needs that answered in writing.
For machine tending or picking on the move, Omron pairs a Techman TM S-series cobot with an LD or MD base (for example TM5S on an LD-90, or TM14S on an MD-650). Omron says it sells this as an integrator-built system.
How to buy an Omron AMR and what to ask for in the quote
Start from Omron Robotics contact or the US where-to-buy finder, which lists authorized partners. Prices come only through a quote, and Omron lists no rental plan. If you are comparing Omron with MiR, OTTO or Locus, our AMR companies comparison and the MiR model guide use the same payload and status columns. For subscription pricing across vendors, see RaaS pricing and terms.
Ask each supplier to quote against the same list:
- Exact model and generation (LD-150/300 or legacy LD), with battery, charger and docking station included or listed separately
- Top module: who supplies it (Omron, integrator or you) and whether a 24 V module needs the power adapter
- FLOW Core version, Fleet Manager type (appliance or virtual) and license terms for the number of robots planned
- Mapping, commissioning and WMS/MES integration, and who owns each
- Safety standard and risk assessment for your site (see our AMR safety standards guide)
- Warranty, spare-parts period and service response time; for legacy LD units, the June 2032 maintenance close
