MiR Offers Mobile Cobot with Heavier Payload

Dec. 2, 2024
The MC600 is a mobile collaborative robots from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) that aims to improve industrial automation with a heavy payload robotic arm to handle palletizing and machine tending efficiently.

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) offers the MC600 Mobile Cobot, designed to improve industrial automation. Building on the success of the smaller MC250 model, the MC600 integrates the MiR600 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with Universal Robot’s heavy payload UR20 and UR30 cobots, allowing for payloads of up to 600 kg (1,322 lb.).

The MC600 is made to automate complex workflows in a range of industrial settings, excelling in tasks such as palletizing, box handling and machine tending. Its advanced design combines the mobility of the MiR600 base with the precision of UR’s collaborative robotic arms to expand operational capabilities.

The unit is designed to operate with minimal downtime, serving multiple machines and performing continuous material handling tasks, which enables human workers to focus on higher value assignments. This improves overall workplace safety by reducing the physical strain associated with heavy lifting.

As part of Teradyne Robotics, both MiR and UR are recognized for blending artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technologies to advance industrial automation. The MC600 is controlled through a unified software platform provided by MiR Go partner Enabled Robotics, helping to ensure seamless integration into existing workflows.
