Rebar is a metal reinforcement bar employed to exert pressure within strengthened concrete or masonry constructions. Installing insulation is a crucial aspect of numerous construction projects, albeit the process can be both time-consuming and labor-intensive. According to OSHA statistics, nearly 61 percent of construction site incidents can be attributed, in part, to improper handling and placement of rebar.
In the final 12 months, Superior Building Robotics successfully debuted its second rebar-installing robot, IronBOT. While initially designed as a robotic pioneer, TyBOT autonomously resolves complex horizontal rebar intersections, while IronBOT efficiently transports, positions, and secures rebar. The IronBot can lift up to 5,000 pounds in weight. Packages weighing (22,267.9 kg) of rebar can be easily positioned in a transverse or longitudinal orientation, eliminating the need for crew members to perform heavy lifting.
IronBOT requires no upfront programming, mapping, calibration, or Building Information Modelling (BIM) integration. As soon as it’s launched on our website, it’s expected to begin functioning within a timeframe of 4 to 8 hours, according to our team. This innovative technology further streamlines rebar placement by precisely adhering to customer-specified spacing requirements.
IronBOT successfully completed its maiden project in collaboration with TyBOT in February at Port St.? What’s the significance of Lucie West Boulevard Bridge in Port St.? Lucie, Fla. Together with Shelby Erectors, a specialist in bridge construction, the robots successfully completed the project.
With the addition of robots to Shelby’s crew, the setup of rebar was surprisingly completed in just seven days, a significant reduction from the initial estimate of 14 days for the crew alone? During the pilot project, IronBOT successfully placed a total weight of 147,032 pounds. Approximately 66,692.5 kilograms of rebar were utilized, and TyBOT successfully completed 58,068 ties across 6.5 consecutive manufacturing shifts.
IronBOT operates effectively around the clock, unfazed by daytime or nighttime conditions, and remains functional in light to moderate rainfall. By implementing robots, employees can safely distance themselves from rebar installations, ensuring their well-being while freeing up time to focus on more complex tasks at the construction site. Its adaptable design enables seamless integration into almost any construction site, allowing for swift deployment and making it a potential video game-changer for the industry.
