Question 1

Q: What is the battery life and charging time of the system?

Accepted Answer

A: A full charge lasts more than 5 hours (100%-0%) and takes just over 1 hour to recharge.

Our Mobile Cobots can charge while operating stationary, enabling the Mobile Cobot to work 24/7. 
If your set-up does not allow for the Mobile Cobot to charge while operating stationary, the Mobile Cobot can operate 20 hours per day.

We recommend operating the Mobile Cobot between 80% and 20% charge to optimize the charging cycle. If the Mobile Cobot base has a 0% charge and is not charging, please contact our support team. The Mobile Cobot might simply need a special charger, which can be mailed to you.

Question 2

Q: What is the front-module payload of the ER-FLEX?

Accepted Answer

A: The payload of the front-module is up to165kg with the UR7e configuration and up to 152kg with the UR12e and the UR16e. With UR15, the front-module payload is up to 145kg.

Question 3

Q: What is the front-module payload of the ER-MAX?

Accepted Answer

A: The payload of the front-module is up to 411kg with the UR20 as well as with the UR30.

Question 4

Q: What are the differences between ER-FLEX and ER-MAX?

Accepted Answer

A: ER-MAX is larger and carries heavier items and payloads than ER-FLEX, because ER-MAX is built on a larger and more powerful base than the one ER-FLEX is built on.

This gives the Mobile Cobots different fields of expertise.

But there is more to it. In short, the differences cover size, reach and strength due to base and UR arm options - and finally they differ in ESD coating options.

Base
ER-FLEX carries up to 165 kg (depending on the arm) on the base and measures 80x58 cm - it is built on MiR200.
ER-MAX carries up to 411kg (independent of arm choice) on the base and measures 135x91 cm - it is built on MiR600.
​
Arm
ER-FLEX is available with UR cobot arms UR7e, UR12e, UR15 and UR16e,
which respectively carries up to 7, 12, 15 and 16 kg.
ER-MAX is available with UR cobot arms UR20 and UR30,
which respectively carries up to 25 and 35 kg.

The arms vary in reach.
​
ESD coating
ER-FLEX is available with ESD coating. Feel free to get in touch for the newest information on ESD coating for ER-MAX.

Question 5

Q: What are the IP ratings of the systems of ER-FLEX and ER-MAX?

Accepted Answer

A: ER-FLEX: As a total system, it is IP 21. 
The robot arm is IP 54, the MiR Base 250 is IP 21, and the ER-FLEX module is IP 54.

The ER-MAX rating values below are estimated. Please contact us for the newest updates.
ER-MAX: As a total system, it is IP 52. 
The robot arm is IP 54, the MiR Base 600 is IP 52, and the ER-MAX module is IP 54.

Question 6

Q: Can the arm operate while the Mobile Cobot is docked in a charging station?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, and this enables the Mobile Cobot to operate 24/7.
By placing the charging station in a location where the workflow requires the Mobile Cobot to stay for a few minutes, the robot can charge while operating with its arm. For 24/7 operation, the Mobile Cobot needs to charge for one hour per five hours of mobile work.

Question 7

Q: How does the arm get power?

Accepted Answer

A: Everything including the arm is powered by the 48V MiR battery found inside the mobile platform.

Question 8

Q: Can I draw power from the robot to power external equipment such as tools, vision systems and front-modules?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes. Inside the tower of the Mobile Cobot you will find a 48V power terminal that can be used to draw power for external systems. Everything on the Mobile Cobot is powered from the battery of the MiR. This battery is able to provide 10A at 48V (480 watts). On the ER-FLEX, 200 watts are allocated to the UR arm and 100 watts are allocated to the controller and safety systems. This leaves you with 180 watts of power for external systems. Please note that the power draw of the UR is dynamic and changes with payload/speed, this means that the UR could draw more than 200 watts when running unless a limit is set up by the user.

Question 9

Q: My gripper does not fit with the ER-FLEX camera mount, where do I get a spacer?

Accepted Answer

A: You can download a 3D printable spacer from our Download Center.(https://www.enabled-robotics.com/download-center/39a6a39e-54c7-4c3e-b4d4-06ead4212e4e)
