IN BRIEF
The IronBOT in brief.
Updated · Source: manufacturer's published specifications
The Advanced Construction Robotics IronBOT Rebar-Placing Robot is a construction robot by Advanced Construction Robotics. Key figures published by the manufacturer: 5,000 lb (2.3 t) of rebar per hour, bars from 2.7 to 18.3 m and 50 % schedule saving with TyBOT. Robot Distribution supplies it in Europe to buy, rent or as RaaS, with its EU declaration of conformity. Price on request.
OVERVIEW
The IronBOT in detail
IronBOT, from Advanced Construction Robotics, is a rebar-placing machine for bridge decks: it lifts, carries and places bundles of transverse and longitudinal bars, epoxy-coated or black, at the spacing set by the crew. A robot supervisor positions it at the first bar with the transmitter and enters the spacing; IronBOT then follows its position by odometry, cameras detect the bar at the catch point, and the machine grabs it, releases it at the right height and moves on to the next location, until it is stopped. It can place several bars in one location or skip locations.
ACR gives an average rate of 5,000 lb (about 2.3 t) per hour, for decks from 27 to 117 ft (8.2 to 35.7 m) wide and bars from 9 to 60 ft (2.7 to 18.3 m) long, without pre-mapping or BIM, day or night and in the rain. Paired with TyBOT, which ties the intersections, it cuts deck rebar schedules by half. Set-up takes six to eight hours because of its size. ACR offers IronBOT as a service in the United States; Robot Distribution can relay a European project to the manufacturer and study its feasibility.

FAQ
Questions about the IronBOT
How much does the IronBOT cost?
The IronBOT is sold on a written quote, sent within 2 working days. The price depends on the version and its options, the number of robots, delivery and commissioning on your site, training, and the acquisition mode: purchase, rental or RaaS with one monthly fee. Prices are not published because these items change from one project to the next.
Is the IronBOT supplied with an EU declaration of conformity?
Yes. Robot Distribution supplies the EU declaration of conformity with every robot it delivers in Europe. Ask for a copy with your quote and our team sends it with the other documents.
How are delivery and commissioning organised?
The delivery address, the date and the commissioning on site are set out in the written quote, according to your site and the number of robots. Our team can install the robot, map the site and train your staff.
Can I rent the IronBOT or take it as RaaS?
Yes. Rental runs from 1 day to 12 months; RaaS runs from 24 to 60 months with one monthly fee that covers the robot, maintenance, software updates and a replacement robot if one fails. Both are priced in a written quote.
What after-sales service is available?
After-sales service is run from Europe: a service contract, spare parts, repairs and training can be added to a purchase, and maintenance is included in RaaS. The terms are set out in the written quote.
