The HD-1500 mobile robot can handle bulky objects weighing as much as 1,500 kg. It calculates the best route for material transportation automatically while navigating people and obstacles safely without requiring magnetic floor tapes or other guides. Fleet Manager software controls as many as 100 mobile robots of different sizes, configurations and payload capacities, so customers can use the HD-1500 robot with the LD-60, LD-90 and LD-250 robots under one system. The robot’s structure makes it well-suited for industries in which transporting heavy items is required. It offers 360° safety coverage to promote a collaborative and safe working space. It has an onboard, user-accessible Omron PLC.
