Spanish automation solutions provider Desmasa has introduced a new mobile collaborative robot (MCR) that combines autonomous mobile robot technology with a collaborative robotic arm.
The MCR is designed to work together with the operator and can be programmed to perform tasks including palletising, end of line systems, automated quality control as well as a pick and place machine.
Additionally, the MCR can be used in a laboratory setting operating as a collaborative robot (cobot) with automatic control systems.
The MCR features Fanuc’s new CRX cobot, which is available in two sizes to give the MCR a reach of either 1,249mm or 1,418mm.
According to Desmasa, the MCR, which has a load capacity of 10kg, has been designed to be “very versatile” and can be placed in a space 60% smaller than a conventional robot for businesses trying to optimise small production plants.
Furthermore, the MCR harnesses AI to enable it to carry out more complex tasks such as bin picking.
A Desmasa spokesperson said: “Thanks to its mobility and versatility, it can work in different applications within our production plant in the same shift. We optimise the investment quickly thanks to its efficiency.
“[The MCR is] extremely reliable and safe. It has great features, so it can work with humans in a wide range of industrial applications, such as handling, machine maintenance, inspection and logistics.”
