Brokk Revolutionizes Demolition Technology With SmartPower+ Generation
Published: 4/3
Showcased at World of Concrete 2024, Brokk’s new SmartPower+ robots provide unmatched endurance by increasing operational uptime with consistent power delivery, resulting in unmatched performance. Expertly engineered with rugged components, the new robots resist shock, temperature, and vibrations, and are dust- and water-protected to an IP65 equivalent. There’s also a noteworthy 87% reduction in cables and connectors, reducing weak points while also facilitating servicing and troubleshooting, which in turn, increases the lifespan of the robot.
Brokk’s SmartPower+ generation redefines the operating experience by introducing a new and improved lightweight control box weighing less than 6.5 lb (3kg, contributing to more enjoyable and comfortable work shifts. Ergonomically designed, the control box features tilted joysticks, easier-to-reach features, and faster dual charging. There’s also the innovative Brokk QuickSwitch and intuitive settings for an improved operating experience, making it easier than ever to operate a Brokk robot, and in turn, easier to find and train operators.
With Brokk’s new range of SmartPower+ robots and state-of-the-art features, operators can perform the demolition task at hand without shifting their gaze from the machine between commands, and as such, without compromising on performance or safety. This new generation of robots elevates the operator-machine interaction, focusing on added intelligence for the benefit of the operator. Visual status updates through incremental light indicators allow the operator to focus their attention on the demolition work at hand while simultaneously monitoring the status of the machine. A two-way communication system communicates the status back to the operator in real time, while customized features enhance the operating experience. Brokk SmartPower+ is enabled for future over-the-air upgrades. Fast and simple settings, an increase in sensors, as well as the addition of individual tool presets, all contribute toward a more user-friendly and efficient operator interface.
