Omron Automated Mobile Robots Provide Reliable Transport
The MD-650 and MD-900 AMRs are designed to safely pick up, transport and drop off pallets and cargo.
Omron Automation has launched its new mid-range automated mobile robots (AMRs), the MD-650 and MD-900, with mobile robotic equipment (MRE) from ROEQ.
The TML500/TML750 Lifter is a versatile flat-top lifter solution that enables the MD-series to safely pick up, transport and drop off pallets and cargo up to 510 kg (1,120 lbs) with the MD-650, and 760 kg (1,680 lbs) with MD-900. A new ROEQ PR750 Pallet Rack is also available with a multi-rack option. An optional ROEQ Cargo Sensor Kit provides additional control to ensure goods stay in place on the AMR. The Lifter is available for both U.S. and Euro pallets.
Additionally, the TR600/TR700 Roller is a heavy-duty top roller that enables the MD-series to pick up and deliver heavy goods weighing up to 675 kg (1,490 lbs) between conveyor stations. It includes ROEQ GuardCom system, which uses sensors to provide additional safety and efficiency when transferring between the top roller and the receiving station.
Both modules come with ROEQ Assist software for fast and consistent set up and are compliant with safety standards. For the lifter solution, the ROEQ Assist software weaves the three building blocks — AMR, lifter module and pallet rack — into a full solution working as one. The same goes for the roller solution, where AMR, roller module and the GuardCom system all are configured by the same ROEQ Assist tool. According to the company, the close integration delivers a smooth setup and installation experience, and provides reliable performance.
