ER-400 Autonomous Mobile Robot

 

Intelitek introduces the ER-400, a mobile robot, into its spectrum of products. The ER-400 responds to advanced market demands in the field of mechatronics. This field is fast developing and the technologies that have already been assimilated into this field pose new challenges in understanding the correct integration of existing technologies with innovations in mechatronics. 

Students and researchers are given the opportunity for “hands-on” experience using existing knowledge and technologies while their learning opportunities and ability to create and innovate is not hindered, as they expose the hidden potential available in the combination of various technologies.

The ER-400 features include:

§          Strong, open, reliable platform

§          43 cm diameter, 14 kg

§          wheel drive with odometer and 2 rear casters

§          Over 50 sensors, including ultrasonic sensors, PSD, infrared sensors, and others

Intelitek Wins New Project

Intelitek has won a contract to supply a major technological university in the Asia Pacific region with modules in the fields of environmental engineering and construction technology. Following the successful installation of ten modules at the same university in May 2004, the additional modules are to be delivered by the end of the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

 

 

New Modules for LearnMate

 

The new modules for LearnMate, nine in total, include topics such as Environmental Pollution Control, Wastewater Engineering, and Bridge Construction, mark the expansion of Intelitek's extensive LearnMate Content catalog. These modules further represent a new level in the development of LearnMate content, where customer provided materials and curricula is integrated in LearnMate modules developed by Intelitek. The nine modules will be customized to respond to educational and training demands in Malaysia.

New CIMflex Installations

 

 

During the last quarter, Intelitek finalized the installation of a 4 station CIM system at Mahanakorn University of Technology (MUT), a leading private university in Thailand. This unique CIM system comprises mobile stations, various Intelitek robots, a stand alone robotic station, and advanced applications (such as calipers and a gluing unit). This new CIM system should enable the university to implement its research in the area of CIM technology. Intelitek sees this installation as an important reference site in the Thai educational market, as well as in the entire Asia Pacific Region.

Inteliteks latest installation at Bogazicy University in Istanbul, Turkey integrated Intelitek’s CIM equipment with existing Bogazicy University equipment. The project targets the development and evaluation of manufacturing algorithms and hardware integration in manufacturing systems.

The installation comprised four stations, including ASRS, assembly, FMS and QC. The system also included an automatic guided vehicle and central CIM management control software, designed and developed by the university’s lab staff, under the supervision of Dr. Umit Bilge.
