Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) has introduced the MC600 mobile collaborative robot (cobot). Capable of handling payloads up to 600 kg (1322 lbs), the MC600 combines the MiR600 mobile robot base with the UR20/UR30 collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots (UR) to automate complex workflows in industrial environments.
Building on the smaller MC250, the MC600 offers a comprehensive system for handling heavier items and automating tasks such as palletizing, box handling and machine tending. The UR20’s extended reach allows the MC600 to tackle tasks in areas previously inaccessible to smaller cobots.
The MC600 can serve multiple machines and perform continuous material handling tasks while redeploying human workers to higher-value assignments. Additionally, by taking over the movement of heavy goods, the MC600 can help improve ergonomics, reducing physical strain on workers and enhancing workplace safety.
