TyBOT is priced based on your usage. We charge on a per-tie basis which includes: TyBOT unit configured to the width of your project Tie wire Pre-deployment planning Ongoing 24/7 service and support For a detailed quote reach out to our team on our contact page
-
What is the ideal project size for TyBOT?
We recommend using TyBOT on projects starting 25,000 Sq. Ft., with benefits increasing as project size grows.
-
What prep work is required before TyBOT can work on a project?
TyBOT travels on the edge form or screed rail supports typically installed for concrete finishing. In the event that neither are available, ACR will provide a portable rail system.
-
How much pre-programming of rebar dimensions is required for TyBOT?
None! TyBOT is designed to operate without any pre-programming required. It self-finds the reinforcing steel intersections, it self-locates the tie module over the intersection, and then it self-ties it.
-
How much rebar must be laid prior to TyBOT starting operations?
Ideally, you want to have enough rebar installed to allow TyBOT to run uninterrupted for at least one shift. For projections, our team will work with you to build a customized deployment plan.
-
How long does it take to set up TyBOT?
Depending upon the width of the job, TyBOT can be operational in 1-4 hours of arrival on the job site. For typical configurations, we are onsite and working within an hour.
-
How many people need to be on site for TyBOT to run?
TyBOT only requires one Robot Supervisor who monitors performance, reloads the tie wire spool when necessary, and ensures the robot follows and enhances your safety protocol.
-
Does the Robot Supervisor remotely operate TyBOT?
No. The Robot Supervisor does not remotely guide TyBOT to the correct locations. TyBOT performs this function itself. The Robot Supervisor supervises TyBOT and monitors its performance. The Robot Supervisor does have the ability to manually override the autonomous operation of TyBOT in special circumstances.
-
Can I train my own crew to use TyBOT?
Yes! On-the-job training for basic operations takes 3-5 days and is included with your per-tie price. Once your crew is trained, our team remains available for service and support 24/7.
-
How fast is TyBOT?
Running uninterrupted, TyBOT ties 1,200+ ties per hour.
-
Can TyBOT operate at night?
TyBOT can tie intersections day or night, rain or shine, to meet your scheduling needs.
-
What kind of tie wire does TyBOT use?
16.5 gauge, poly-coated tie wire specifically designed to work with TyBOT is provided in 15lb spools.
-
Can TyBOT tie alternating-intersection patterns as well as all-intersection patterns?
TyBOT is capable of tying alternating-intersection patterns (50%) as well as all-intersection patterns (100%), meeting the majority of the specifications of project owners and state DOTs. For our full specifications, please refer to our Spec Sheet.
-
Is TyBOT available for service now?
We have a full fleet of TyBOTs available in the contiguous U.S. and Canada. Contact our sales department at 412-756-3360 to discuss your requirements and receive a TyBOT proposal or visit our contact page
-
How does TyBOT see, think, and act?
TyBOT’s cameras see the work area and identify intersections with no programming or mapping required. The tram then positions the Tie Module over the intersection to complete the tie. Once the work area has been completed, TyBOT notifies its Robot Supervisor and moves forward to continue operations
