AMR - Driverless transport systems

Freedom in production: AMR – Autonomous transport systems (autonomous mobile robots) make it possible. In industrial production, autonomous transport systems ensure that “everything flows”, as the AMR can be stationed at a single machine or configured to travel between multiple machines as needed. DMG MORI develops and produces these special vehicles for intralogistics, thereby making a trend-setting contribution to holistic production automation. The combination of robust hardware and powerful sensor technology creates AMRs that can handle workpieces, pallets, tools, and other components such as chip carts.

    Efficient concept: Workpiece handling using robotics

    Individually, in pairs or even in threes: When it comes to handling workpieces, AMRs have the exact number of gripper jaws on the integrated cobot that the workpiece and task require. AMR robots for workpiece handling are about the size of a workshop trolley. In addition to the collaborative robot, they have a workpiece tray that the cobot can access. Integrating these autonomous robots into the production process increases efficiency, enabling unmanned transport and shift operation on a machine tool, thereby boosting productivity.

    It’s finally easy: Pallet handling system 

    Machine data shows that autonomous mobile robots are real workhorses when used for pallet-specific transport tasks: With a load capacity of up to 5,000 kg and the ability to perform omnidirectional movements, not to mention a turning circle of 0 m, these machines can handle demanding transport tasks with maximum precision. Whatever the task may be; whether it's the fully automated loading and unloading of machine pallets, workpieces, tools, or even the chip cart for CNC machines: Due to their modular design and free accessibility, these AMRs can carry out transport tasks much more efficiently, regardless of the load.

    Almost limitless possibilities: Universal AMR 

    Tools, chip carts, material plates, machine pallets or zero-point clamping plates – an autonomous mobile robot could hardly be any more universal and versatile! DMG MORI has developed an automation series that can transport a wide variety of components. The technical basis of this AMR is a modular concept with a free layout design. Above all, it does not require a housing, making it space-saving and highly manoeuvrable. These individual modules ensure flexible production by allowing the AMR's travel paths to be re-programmed. The best thing about this technology: It can also be integrated into existing production processes at a later date (Brown Field). These AMRs can collaborate with people within the same system, turning individual transport tasks into genuine intralogistics. The AMR 2000 is a robot capable of autonomous travel that was developed as a modular platform designed for handling tools, material pallets, and chip carts.
