1,500 kilo payload
New Omron robot transports vehicle components
The new HD-1500 mobile robot from Omron is suitable for use in modern warehouse systems where autonomous material handling is required. In addition, material handling can also be carried out remotely.
The HD-1500 has a payload capacity of up to 1,500 kilograms, enabling it to transport large vehicle components such as vehicle chassis or payloads of bulky pallet size - items that can normally only be transported by forklift trucks. The introduction of the HD-1500 complements Omron's range of mobile robots, including the LD-60/90 and LD-250, which can already transport items such as components through WIP (work in progress) to finished products and heavy materials.
The HD-1500 is controlled via Omron's fleet manager, which can control up to 100 mobile robots of different sizes, configurations and payload capacities in one system. This means that even complex material transportation and logistics applications can be automated.
The HD-1500 automatically calculates the best route while working safely with people and avoiding obstacles. The robot is not dependent on magnetic floor tapes or other signposts. The battery charges in just 36 minutes and can complete a full shift at full load, reducing downtime.
"On-site logistics, moving products and materials around the factory and warehouse, is becoming a real bottleneck for many companies due to the volume of work and the effort involved, which is made more difficult by the need to comply with social distancing protocols. Fast-paced manufacturing environments require speed and flexibility. Omron's HD-1500 mobile robot can help companies solve this problem by working tirelessly with people around the clock, on time and safely," said Tom Mathias, President and CEO of Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies.
High payload and robust structure
The HD-1500 can move payloads the size of pallets in production facilities, replacing traditional transportation with forklift trucks. It is also equipped with robust metal cladding to protect it from knocks and vibrations.
It also offers a solution for automating complex and dangerous tasks. Companies can reduce the use of forklift trucks and safely transport large pallets, bulky materials in the food and raw materials industries and vehicle racks. This allows employees to focus on other important tasks: higher throughput, shorter loading times for heavy batches and increased ROI. as
