Insights
The MC600 mobile cobot represents a significant technological advancement in industrial automation, combining MiR's autonomous mobility expertise with Universal Robots' collaborative robot technology. The 600 kg payload capacity and integration of UR20/UR30 arms mark a substantial upgrade from the MC250, enabling automation of heavier manufacturing tasks.
The projected
For Teradyne (TER), this product launch strengthens their robotics portfolio and positions them to capture growing market share in industrial automation. The focus on semiconductor fabs with the MC250 and expansion into heavier manufacturing with the MC600 aligns well with Teradyne's core semiconductor testing business.
Built on the success of the smaller MC250, the MC600 integrates the MiR600 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with Universal Robots’ heavy-payload UR20/UR30 cobot to handle heavier items and automate tasks such as palletizing, box handling and machine tending.
The global market for mobile cobots is projected to grow
“By integrating the ‘legs’ of a mobile robot with the ‘arms’ of a cobot, the MC600 addresses multiple automation workflow challenges such as palletizing and machine tending with one system,” Jean-Pierre Hathout said. “While some companies have explored humanoid robots or one-off custom mobile cobot solutions for such tasks, they remain far from widespread industrial use. The MC600 is ready today to safely handle these complex automation challenges.”
Boosting Productivity and Ergonomics
The MC600 significantly improves productivity by operating with little downtime, serving multiple machines and performing continuous material handling tasks while redeploying human workers to higher-value assignments. Additionally, by taking over the movement of heavy goods, the MC600 substantially improves ergonomics, reducing physical strain on workers and enhancing workplace safety.
A Cutting-Edge Collaboration in Robotics
As part of Teradyne Robotics, both MiR and Universal Robots (UR) are pioneers in advanced robotics, consistently setting the standard for innovation through artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technologies. Available directly through MiR, the MC600 combines MiR’s strength in autonomous mobility with UR’s advanced robotics to deliver unmatched flexibility, safety and efficiency in industrial automation. Controlled by a unified software platform by MiR Go partner Enabled Robotics, the MC600 seamlessly coordinates its mobile base and robotic arms, simplifying integration into existing workflows and ensuring smooth operations.
“The smaller MC250 has proven especially popular in semiconductor fabrication facilities and other lower payload manufacturing tasks, but there’s been a clear demand for a mobile cobot that could handle heavier manufacturing applications,” said Ujjwal Kumar, Group President, Teradyne Robotics. “The MC600 meets these requirements, another example of how we consistently offer customers the flexibility, safety and efficiency that meets their unique automation needs.”
The MC600 will be showcased next week at Logistics & Automation Madrid, providing live demonstrations of its capabilities in real-world applications.
