Designed to automatically collect and tow carts through dynamic and constricted industrial spaces, the MiR250 Hook includes the MiR250 AMR to easily and cost-effectively automate the transport of various sizes of loaded carts weighing up to 1,100 lb. (500 kg).
The MiR250 Hook safely and efficiently travels at speeds up to 4.5 mph (7 kph). The speed, flexibility, and design optimizes workflows across industries and increases the range of applications for MiR’s AMRs. For example, the automated delivery of components by the MiR250 Hook to human workers creates a more efficient flow at an assembly line.
In addition to the integrated MiR250 Hook robot solution, companies that already own MiR250 robots can separately purchase the MiRHook 250 top module for cart towing, without the need to invest in new carts. Only a few steps are required before deploying the MiR250 Hook in a workplace. These include attaching QR codes or AprilTags to carts and cages so the MiR250 Hook can identify them; mapping the robot to its route manually the first time or importing a map of the building and premises into the robot’s software, and installing the automatic charging station that lets MiR robots autonomously reload their batteries as needed (if this is the first AMR deployed in the facility).
