Position accuracy is further improved by installing markers

Use markers when you need to improve the robots’ position accuracy. Unlike common guides for AGVs such as magnetic tape, simply placing a marker helps the MiR stop with better accuracy. This means nothing is consumed and there is no need to regularly replace them. To change the stop position, just move the marker itself and register the point. Also, the relative position from the marker can be set as the stop position, which makes for extremely flexible use.

  • Marker types

    Markers are boards that are installed to improve stop accuracy, and available in the following four types.

    • L marker

  • Various top modules allow automation of all transport tasks

    High flexibility

From transporting small parts to large products, MiR can be fitted with a variety of top modules to customise it to your individual needs.
The simple task of transporting something from A to B can be automated in an easy, efficient and cost-effective way.

  • Shelf

    This top module is suitable for transporting many items at once, such as packaging products, supply parts, and manufacturing tools. It safely approaches to right next to the worker. It is the most basic type of top module and easy to install.

  • Conveyor

    This is suitable for operations that connect conveyor lines, such as loading workpieces into the conveyor and receiving workpieces from the conveyor. It is ideal for controlling product flow in large factories and floors.

  • Robot arm

    Combining collaborative robots as a top module further expands the possibilities of the MiR. This is suitable for automation needs of work involving picking things from warehouse. It can collaborate with various robots such as UR and JAKA.

  • Hook

    This is a genuine MiR top module that can fully autonomously pick up and tow various carts. It is suitable when it is necessary to move a cart loaded with workpieces in a manufacturing facility or warehouse. Even if there are carts of different sizes, they are identified by a QR code and safely towed to a predetermined location.

  • Lift

    This top module is ideal for transporting pallets and the like. By detecting obstacles with various sensors and avoiding them, the robot can safely move objects both on the way and when loading and unloading. It is mainly used in logistics warehouses and distribution areas in factories where heavy goods come and go.

  • Cart

    By going under a cart and docking, this module transports load along with the cart. It is the most flexible top module that can be used for any purpose because various things such as shelves, devices, pallets, and more can be freely placed on the cart.
