Rethink Robotics Introduces Intera 5.2 with Insights
Providing real-time robot performance, manufacturing data
|
|
Rethink Robotics' recent release of
Intera® 5.2
is an expansion of its first-of-its-kind Intera software platform that provides critical data insights to manufacturers in real time. Rethink Robotics’ Sawyer™ gives operators and line managers valuable data at a glance, including metrics such as cycle time, part count, speed and force.
The new feature,
Intera Insights
, displays key performance indicators (KPIs) via a customizable dashboard on the robot’s on-board display, making it accessible directly on the factory floor. The same charts are also fed back to the Intera Studio platform, providing visibility to other members of the manufacturing team.
- Customizable Intera Insights display key performance indicators
- External Vision Systems for robot guidance
- Internal Sawyer Camera can locate or inspect up to 20 unique objects
- Force Features to apply or sense forces on the arm

Swivel-Link
allows you to position items where you want! Swivel-Link can move to virtually any position imaginable and then lock in that position with extreme rigidity.
The
imperial (AFSB-1) ball base
has a hole pattern to fit most standard T-slot aluminum extrusions and the
metric (SLM-1) ball base
has a hole pattern to fit most metric T-slot aluminum extrusions. The through hole in the ball base can be used for routing wires, cables, or small hoses. There is an exit groove out the side of the base for cables, hose, and wires.

MiRHook™ 200 Mobile Industrial Robot
Autonomous mobile robot with higher payload
|
|
MiRHook™ 200
is ideal for a wide range of towing jobs, such as efficiently moving heavy products between locations in a manufacturing facility or warehouse, or moving linen and food carts in hospitals. The MiRHook™ 200 supports the transport of loads up to 500 kg (1100 lbs), providing exciting new internal logistics options for weighty or unwieldy cargos.
The MiRHook™ 200 robot identifies carts by QR markers and autonomously transports them as you define. MiRHook™ 200 can be incorporated into a fleet of MiR robots, and can be easily redeployed to meet changing requirements.
