Cirrus Robots

Cirrus

The motors are to IE3 specifications.
Reductions in energy consumption.

Multi-cell gripper for handling rough, porous or deformed products
Monitoring system makes it possible to anticipate the replacement date for the foams
Reduction of maintenance costs by optimizing the suction power
Replacement foams having two-component adhesive allowing quick easy replacement.

Lifting by strap, simple and rapid maintenance
Smooth operation.

Turbine controlled and regulated by a PID.
Reduced electricity consumption
Reduced Noise.

Ultra-light carbon fibre structure, exclusive to Mousse Process-Systems.
Reduced electric motor power required.
Reduction in mechanical wear
Higher speeds and accelerations.

Rotation

Infinite 360° rotation is achieved using electro-pneumatic rotating joint technology. A crane turret type ring gear allows the rotation of heavy loads with great reliability and precision. An encoder on the motor allows the rotating axis to be positioned automatically.

Laser

Robots enable automatic stacking or destacking over large areas. The manoeuvering area can range from 2m to more than 100m in the transfer direction.
Precise positioning is achieved using laser positioners. Laser technology is reliable and economical, it also requires minimum maintenance.

Polyurethane wheels

Travelling on polyurethane rollers. Reducing noise and wear.
Quiet and maintenance-free. No wearing of the track. All couplings arefitted with clamping hubs making maintenance simple and economical.

Touch screen settings

The robot can be controlled by means of a touch screen allowing total configuration of the robot: speeds, accelerations, positions, viewing the records of production and maintenance information. Connecting by Wifi allows complete remote system support, and visualization of the robot cycle and the stacking zone is also possible.

Radio control

Optional: control by ergonomic radio control equipped with 2 proportional and self-regulating joysticks.
The speed and acceleration are adapted automatically according to the transported load and the position of the robot.
The proportional technology allows fast and very precise movements. The operator can adjust the speed with very high accuracy.

Eco label

The Robot is optimized to gain the electricity saving LABEL. The significant reduction in weight reduces inertial loads and so reduces electrical energy consumption and also mechanical wear.
Mousse Process-Systems has invented and developed a turbine rotation speed self-regulation system using PID control. This system reduces the electricity consumption of the turbine.

In 2020 Mousse Process developed the Cirrus robot in an all-carbon fibre chassis, which reduces the weight of the robots by 20 to 30% and therefore reduces energy consumption by around 20%.

Mousse Process is a world leader in low-consumption solutions.

Cables M12 standard

Sensors and actuators are connected by M12 standard wiring.
Maintenance is simple, fast and economical. Communication by IO-LINK protocol allows remote observation and fault diagnosis using (WIFI).

Polyurethane rollers

The lifting steel column is guided between 8 polyurethane rollers allowing simple and economical maintenance.

Rotating Beacon

For Maximum Operator Safety.
The rotating beacon improves visibility and reduces the risk of collisions.

Vacuum level monitoring

Vacuum level monitoring, automatic vacuum level regulation and fall protection. Increased foam life thanks to the Predictive VLF system invented and developed by Mousse Process-Systems in 2019.

Speed Regulation

All motors are controlled by frequency converters. Speeds and accelerations can be adjusted by the operator. Acceleration regulation optimizes robot speeds, reduces electric consumption and mechanical wear.

Layer/Single Option

The Vacuum stackers can be equipped with the ‘Layer/Unit’ option, especially designed for stacking timber layer by layer or as single pieces.
A 90 degree rotation allows the grippers to be switched from the ‘layer’ position (orthogonal to the stack) to the ‘unitary’ position (parallel to the stack). Switching is effected using pneumatic cylinders activated by simply pressing a button on the radio control.

Tilting option

Pivoting makes it possible to turn a beam or a panel from the horizontal to a vertical position. It is useful for feeding vertical panel saws, or for turning large section beams.

All technical information is given as an example. A personalized study is carried out for each project.
