MiR1000 is now here!

MIR 1000

MiR1000 is designed to automate and optimize the internal transportation of heavy duties and pallets. With a payload of 1000 kg, this is MiR’s most powerful robot, and even in highly dynamic environments it can transport heavy loads without any exterior safety measures.

This collaborative robot is a safe alternative to traditional forklifts and trucks. Another advantage of the MiR1000 is that it does not need to be manned, so it optimizes the transportation of pallets and frees up employees for more valuable tasks.

• Collaborative and autonomous: it maneuvers safely around all kinds of obstacles
• Advanced technology and sophisticated software enable the robot to navigate autonomously and choose the most effective route to its destination
• Equipped with the latest laser-scanner technology and that delivers a 360-degree visual for optimal safety
• MiR1000 can be deployed with pallet lifts from MiR and can pick up, transport and deliver pallets automatically

Join Our Seminar About IO-Link And Its Uses in Your Automation System - Held at C&E's Upcoming Industrial Automation Show

C&E's Industrial Automation Shows are manufacturer-driven events to enhance our customers' ability to compete by providing world-class automation products and solutions.

These shows share ideas and technology through workshops, new solutions, product specialists, technical support, and supplier representatives.

Join one of the several seminars C&E will be hosting at the shows. Featured this week is the "What is IO-Link And How To Use It In Your Automation System?" seminar, hosted by Brad Hart, C&E Automation Specialist.

IO-Link is an open point-to-point communication protocol that pairs one port of a multi-port IO-Link Master with a single IO-Link Device to cyclically read data or to control an actuator. Using acyclical communications, parameters can be written to the IO-Link Device, and diagnostic information can be received from the device. IO-Link Devices now include proximity sensors, photo eyes, tower lights, motor starters, identification and more. Learn how to integrate IO-Link into both a Siemens and an Allen-Bradley processor, and how to setup simple device replacement.

Integrating Fluid Power Into Safety Functions:

Safety functions are the Safety Related Parts of the Control Circuit which reduce risk to an acceptable level by the safety and reliable removal of power from hazardous motion and other sources. Pneumatic and Hydraulic cylinders are still the primary sources of motion in Industrial Manufacturing Machines. One of the leading causes of injury is the uncontrolled rapid motion of pneumatic cylinders when clearing a jam because pressure has not been relieved. To assure reliable operation of these Safety Functions, the failure mode of these fluid power devices must be understood and managed. The seminar will review the selection and design of safeguarding circuits with emphasis on the incorporation of fluid power devices.- Instructor: Heinz Knackstedt-C&E Safety Specialist

Siemens S7-1200F Fail-Safe PLC:

We'll take a look inside the Siemens compact fail-safe PLC, S7-1200F. Combining both standard and fail-safe IO and functionality on a single platform, you can build a simple fail-safe application and control it through an HMI. Siemens SIMATIC Safety Integrated is a safety integrated solution for everything from micro PLCs to PLCs with the highest demand; including PC-based wireless solutions and more. - Instructor: Steve Wright-C&E Safety Specialist and John Pipkin-C&E Automation Specialist

Safety Integration for VFDs:

General purpose drives are being used in more applications each day. Many of these applications require safe control and monitoring of the motor. The Siemens GP drive portfolio offers some of the most comprehensive safety functionality in the industry. In this session, you will learn about these safety features, which ones are right for your applications and how to implement them at your facility. - Instructors: Jay Swank-C&E Motion Specialist and Dennis Moore-Siemens Motion Consultant
