Heavy duty industrial AMR
RARUK Automation has launched the new MiR250 autonomous mobile robot – an agile, rapid-charging, cost-effective means of transporting payloads of up 250kg.
Featuring compact dimensions, the specially engineered agility of the MiR250 allows it to move under objects, navigate in narrow spaces and take corners quickly.
Internal logistics is a bottleneck for many companies because of the frequency and uniformity of tasks, combined with a lack of qualified labour. At present, there is a notable growth in demand for robots that can operate in environments housing a high number of obstructions, including people.
Able to drive at 7.2km/h (2m/s) while avoiding both static and dynamic obstacles, this latest addition to the company’s range of AMRs has a shorter (800mm) and lower (300mm) design, enabling it to navigate in limited spaces. By way of example, the MiR250 can move through door openings with a width of only 800mm.
The MiR250 is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments as several standard components have been replaced with heavy-duty counterparts, extending life expectancy.
The MiR250 can be charged twice as quickly as the company’s other smaller mobile robots.
Like all AMRs in the company’s range, the MiR250 is designed to function in collaboration with people without external safety measures. For this reason, the device is equipped (as standard) with more integrated safety functions than any other type of mobile robot.
