Specialized for particularly heavy transport tasks, especially for pallet transport. Dimensions: 1350mm x 920mm x 320mm. Conforms to ISO/EN 13849. Meets EMC requirements for light and normal industrial use. Standard superstructure available with MiRLift and MiR EU Pallet Lift. Suitable for individual add-on modules.
MiR 1350
The MiR 1350 combines maximum security with the latest technologies. Among other things, the mobile robot has the latest laser scanners for a safe 360° view and advanced 3D camera technology that covers a range of 30 – 2,000 mm. Two additional sensors in the corners enable the robot to recognize pallets and obstacles independently and to react to them fully automatically. If a person steps into its lane, it automatically performs an emergency stop. With this, payloads of up to 1350 kg reach their destination safely. And the robot is also well protected in demanding industrial environments: its durable housing can even withstand falling loads. For particularly heavy transport tasks, especially suitable for pallet transport. Dimensions: 1350mm x 910mm x 320mm. Conforms to ISO/EN 13849. Meets the EMC requirements for industrial use.
