SIASUN Mecanum Wheel Compound Robot – MHR360 (MHR360)

Some components are too heavy to place by hand and too precious to swing from a crane hook. An aerospace assembly that must land exactly where the drawing says, in a bay where overhead lifting gear is awkward or simply absent, leaves an engineering team caught between brute force and finesse. The SIASUN Mecanum Wheel Compound Robot – MHR360 (MHR360) resolves that tension by taking the lifting device to the work rather than the work to the lifting device. It is a Mecanum wheel platform that travels along flexible routes and carries a six-axis robot, which performs the installation once the platform has been braced in position.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the MHR360 to organisations across the European Union and the DACH region. Our team prepares the quotation, coordinates delivery to your site and remains your point of contact for support afterwards, so that a single partner looks after the project from the first enquiry onwards.

Background

SIASUN and its robotics portfolio

SIASUN is a robotics manufacturer whose range spans industrial robot arms, collaborative robots, heavy-duty and forklift-style mobile robots, and assembly-assist systems. The MHR360 sits where two of those families meet: it unites a mobile platform and an articulated arm in a single machine, intended for installation tasks rather than for transport alone. Readers who wish to compare it with the rest of the manufacturer's line-up can browse the full SIASUN range.

The compound robot and its Mecanum chassis

In industrial automation, a compound robot is a mobile base and a manipulator working as one system, so that the reach of the arm is no longer limited to a fixed cell. What sets the MHR360 apart within that class is its chassis. Mecanum wheels carry rollers set at an angle around the rim, which allows a vehicle to move sideways and diagonally and to turn on the spot without changing its heading first. SIASUN has designed the MHR360 with Mecanum wheels as the main part of the chassis, which greatly increases the flexibility of its travelling routes. In a crowded assembly hall or on a construction platform, that freedom of movement is what lets the robot approach a mounting point squarely instead of manoeuvring back and forth to line up.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

SIASUN has not published the dimensions, weight, payload, arm reach, battery capacity, travel speed, positioning accuracy, navigation method, power supply, IP rating or the contents of the box; each of these is confirmed at quotation.

How does the MHR360 stay stable while the arm handles a heavy component?

A mobile robot that lifts a large-weight part faces a simple physical problem: the further the arm extends, the more the combined centre of gravity shifts away from the wheels. SIASUN addresses this in two layers. The first is procedural. Once the MHR360 arrives at the operation position, the anti-tipping device must be switched on and must fully support the Mecanum wheel platform before any work is carried out. The wheels deliver the robot to the job; the anti-tipping device turns it into a stable base for the job itself.

The second layer is in the design. The product has been precisely measured and tested so that it can complete its work within the load range and the limit radius of the robotic arm's operation without tipping. For a buyer, this means that task planning starts from that envelope: the component mass and the distance at which it must be placed have to fall within the limits the manufacturer sets. Robots Europa reviews your components against that envelope with you during project planning.

What makes a Mecanum wheel compound robot different from a crane or hoist?

A crane or hoist lifts a load well, but it suspends it. Fine positioning then depends on operators steadying a swinging part and guiding it into place, which becomes difficult when the mounting point demands installation precision. Fixed overhead equipment also ties the work to the area it covers. The MHR360 takes another approach: the component is held by a six-axis arm, which can orient it as well as raise it, and the whole system travels to wherever the installation takes place.

SIASUN positions the MHR360 precisely for this gap, namely the installation of large-weight aerospace components that require installation precision and for which traditional lifting methods are inconvenient. The Mecanum chassis adds a further advantage over conventional wheeled carriers, since the platform can approach a structure from the side or adjust its position laterally rather than relying on wide turning manoeuvres. Around the robot, a buzzer, an indicator light warning, safety laser obstacle avoidance, a safety touch edge and a vehicle emergency stop device help it to avoid collision with moving or stationary objects, which matters in halls where people, fixtures and parts share the same floor.

Who is the MHR360 for?

The clearest fit is aerospace manufacturing and assembly, where heavy components must be installed accurately and where overhead lifting is impractical or poorly suited to the task. Production engineers responsible for such stations will find in the MHR360 a way to bring a positioning arm directly to the airframe or structure.

Construction is the second segment named by the manufacturer: the MHR360 can be operated on a variety of platforms for construction work. Contractors and building-technology teams who need to place heavy elements on site, away from permanent lifting infrastructure, belong in this group.

A third audience is the system integrator who designs installation cells for either sector and needs a mobile manipulator that can be guided manually by rocker and knob during set-up and positioning. Where a project calls for transport rather than installation, or for a stationary arm, the wider SIASUN range is the better place to compare options, and Robots Europa can advise on which model matches the task.

What is the MHR360 used for?

1. Aerospace component installation – placing large-weight aerospace parts that require installation precision.
2. Replacing awkward lifting – handling heavy parts in locations where cranes and hoists are inconvenient to use.
3. Construction work on platforms – operating on a variety of platforms for construction tasks.
4. Positioning in confined layouts – using the Mecanum chassis to reach mounting points along flexible travelling routes.
5. Operator-guided approach – steering direction and speed manually by rocker and knob to bring the robot into position.
6. Stabilised heavy handling – working from a platform braced by the anti-tipping device within the arm's load range and limit radius.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the MHR360 steered?

The MHR360 offers manual remote control. The operator sets its travelling direction and speed by adjusting the rocker and knob.

What safety equipment does the MHR360 carry?

It is equipped with a buzzer, an indicator light warning, safety laser obstacle avoidance, a safety touch edge and a vehicle emergency stop device. Together these help it to avoid collision with moving or stationary objects.

Why must the anti-tipping device be deployed before work?

Once the MHR360 reaches the operation position, the anti-tipping device has to be switched on and fully supporting the Mecanum wheel platform so that the robot is stable. Only then can it carry out work.

How is the MHR360 charged?

It comes with a portable charger for convenient and fast charging.

Why does the MHR360 use Mecanum wheels?

Mecanum wheels form the main part of the chassis and greatly increase the flexibility of its travelling routes. This lets the robot approach mounting points in tight layouts without wide turning manoeuvres.

Can the MHR360 be used outside aerospace?

Yes. The manufacturer states that it can be operated on a variety of platforms for construction work.

Where can I buy the SIASUN MHR360 and what does it cost?

Robots Europa supplies the MHR360 across the EU and the DACH region on the basis of a tailored quotation. The cost depends on your configuration and project, so please request a quotation and we will prepare an offer for you.

Summary

The MHR360 is built for the moment when a heavy component is too large for hands and too exacting for a hook. A Mecanum wheel chassis gives it flexible travelling routes, a six-axis robot does the placing, and an anti-tipping device combined with a tested load envelope keeps the platform steady while it works. Safety laser obstacle avoidance, a safety touch edge, warnings and an emergency stop protect the surroundings, and a portable charger keeps the machine ready.
