Canvas, the pioneer in construction robotics specializing in drywall finishing, has unveiled its latest innovation: the 1200CX. This new product represents a culmination of years of development and customer input, resulting in a compact, lightweight machine that offers exceptional versatility across various construction projects, particularly in smaller spaces like multi-family and tower constructions.
Key Features of the Canvas 1200CX:
Compact Design: Measures 30” by 34.5” and weighs only 1200 lb., facilitating easy maneuverability and operation in tight areas.
All-Wheel Steering: Enables effortless positioning and movement, crucial for navigating confined spaces on construction sites.
Battery Powered: Runs efficiently throughout the day on a single charge, enhancing productivity without the need for frequent recharging.
Wall to Wall Finishing: Ensures seamless finishing right up to adjacent walls and ceilings, achieving a uniform look across the entire surface.
More Consistent Finish: Utilizes robotic precision for high-quality finishing, ensuring consistency and reliability across all types of projects.
Empowers the Workforce: Designed to be intuitive and easy to learn, reducing fatigue and injuries while empowering workers with future-ready skills.
Canvas has gained recognition for developing the world’s first drywall finishing robot, designed to work alongside human operators. The system leverages robotic precision to streamline the drywall finishing process significantly. Traditionally, a task that could take up to five days can now be completed in just two days, with one day for mud application and one for sanding.
The 1200CX complements Canvas’ existing 1550 model, which is optimized for taller spaces with a 15.5’ finishing height. Together, these models cover a wide spectrum of building types including multifamily residential, hospitality, healthcare, and various commercial sectors.
Advanced Features and Upgradability:
Over-the-Air Software Updates: Both the 1200CX and 1550 models benefit from over-the-air (OTA) software updates, continuously enhancing productivity and introducing new features such as targeted sanding and optimized tool paths. This ensures that customers always have access to Canvas’ latest advancements in robotic spray and sand capabilities.
Canvas’ commitment to innovation and customer-driven development underscores its leadership in revolutionizing drywall finishing processes. The introduction of the 1200CX expands Canvas’ capability to cater to diverse construction needs, delivering efficiency, precision, and reliability across every project.
