Mir Launches Two Powerful Autonomous Mobile Robots To Optimize All Logistics

Mobile Industrial Robots (Mir), the global marketer in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), now launched its most powerful robots for transporting pallets and other bulky items around manufacturing facilities, warehouses and logistics centers. The MiR600 and MiR1350 robots, which can lift up to 600 kg (1322 pounds) and 1350 kg (2976 pounds), respectively, are designed to safely and efficiently operate material handling tasks in challenging industrial environments.

First IP52-rated AMRs to tolerate common environmental challenges

The industrial and protected MiR600 and MiR1350 are the market’s first Ingress Protection52-rated autonomous mobile robots, which mean their components are protected and can tolerate dust and water drops.

“With AMRs increasingly integrated into core productions, downtime is not an option,” Nielsen said. “Our new AMRs are industry grade and constructed for a long lifetime with easy serviceability thanks to components and cables that are industrial and easy to access.”

The larger MiR600 and MiR1350 are ideal for autonomously transporting heavy loads of materials and goods in:

loading bays

production and assembly areas

warehouses

material delivery areas

Like Mir’s other AMRs (MiR100, MiR200, MiR250, MiR500 and MiR1000), the MIR600 and MIR1350 navigate smoothly and safely among people and other transport equipment in dynamic surroundings. Sensors, 3D cameras and the latest laser scanning technology ensure 360-degree vision for precise and safe navigation and operations. The new AMRs are designed to comply with the industry’s latest safety standards, e.g. ISO 3691-4.

“Many companies now integrate our mobile robots as an alternative to manned forklifts, which can be expensive to staff and dangerous to operate,” Neilsen said. “The streamlined transport provided by AMRs frees employees to carry out more value-creating activities and support processes in production while they increase shop floor safety.”

While many companies ask for adaptable robot platforms, others request out-of-the-box solutions that can be used in multiple types of workflows or diverse customer sites. To ease implementation, Mir offers a number of lift top modules for the MiR600 and MiR1350. These top modules enable the AMRs to pick up and drop off pallets and carts for easy integration and scalability throughout the entire value chain.

The “Appropriate Technology” Approach At Its Best!

The ramping up of the Extrusion Coating & Lamination Line to speed of 360mpm at the hands of Mr. Pranav Bhalara came as quite astonishment and the line run as smooth as ever. The machine is equipped with winders suitable for reel diameters of 1000 mm and reel weights of 1000 kgs and specially designed for automatic splicing at max. The production speed of 350 mpm.Infeed web tension is precisely controlled by a servo motor. Gravure coating and the drying hoods are designed to ensure the highest efficiency with the least energy consumption. Two extruders mounted on a platform are with 3 axis movement.

The automatic die from Cloeren, the USA working in synch with the beta density sensor established the base ‘grams per square m (gsm)’ of the laminate variation across the width. This ultimately controls the cost of packaging. Yet another example of successful integration by Rajoo of another bought-out system with the main equipment.When it comes to automatic dies, the source from the best in the world.

The machine is installed with ReLEX 4.0 technology, which gives real-time data on production speeds, output levels, productivity, set-up times, downtime for preventative maintenance and repairs with exclusive access.

Lamex – A outcome of an unbeatable blend of technology and engineering of Rajoo (the leaders in extrusion) and Kohli (the leaders in web handling) with this amalgamation, Rajoo offers “appropriate technology” to the industry. The success of this trailblazing endeavor demonstrates the company’s versatility in innovation, whether in a product, Technology, or, in this case, approaches.

Moog Extends Its Electrohydrostatic Actuation Systems Family With The Compact Version

Moog Industrial Group, a division of Moog Inc., (Nyse: Mog.A And Mog.B), is adding a new system to the Electrohydrostatic Actuation System (Eas) product family for industrial machinery The latest model is the Compact Eas, intended for applications requiring high dynamics and power density, which use programmable cycles and demand high levels of accuracy and repeatability. Testing machines for automobile components are one target application. In metalworking, examples include metal pressing, cutting, forming, and bending. Operations involving pressing, punching and cutting other materials, including glass, ceramics, plastics, and leather, will also benefit from its high level of performance.

Compact EAS units comprise six elements: a servo motor, internal gear pump, compensation tank, valve block, stop valve, and cylinder. Unlike conventional hydraulic systems, everything on the Compact EAS is integrated; there are no pipes or hoses. Pump output and direction of rotation are controlled by the servo motor, eliminating the need for directional or proportional valves, resulting in a defined linear movement of the cylinder. Forces, speed and position on this linear actuation axis are all freely programmable.

The high force capability and force density of all Moog Eas actuation systems provides an attractive alternative to electrohydraulic (Eh) or electromechanical (Em) systems. They are quieter, they use much less oil and less energy, and they have fewer components to maintain.

“The Compact EAS provides users with numerous benefits,” says Harald Branz, Sales Manager Central and Eastern Europe. “The system is highly dynamic, energy-efficient, and requires minimal maintenance. The Compact Eas is easy to configure and integrate into machine systems, providing, significant cost advantages over alternative types of actuation systems.”

There are three versions of the new Compact Eas in its standard format:

Linear, in which the cylinder is on the same axis as the motor;

Parallel, in which the cylinder is underneath the valve block and moves in the opposite direction;

Orthogonal, where the cylinder is mounted vertically underneath the valve block.

There is also a “split” design, in which the cylinder forms its own unit separate from the motor and pump group, without losing any of the advantages of the basic concept.

In its standard configuration, the Compact Eas can produce a movement in the cylinder of up to 640 mm/s with a force of up to 500 kN. Customised versions can offer considerably more speed and force. Customers can choose stroke lengths ranging from 50 to 400 mm. Position accuracy is accurate to within 0,01 mm, while position repeatability is down to 0.01 mm.

Depending on the required performances, installation interfaces, and work environment, Moog supports the customer in selecting the most appropriate Electrohydrostatic Actuation System (Eas) solution: Customized, Modular or Compact.
