SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., September 21, 2023 – Spotlighting the breadth and scope of its automation capabilities, KUKA will characteristic all kinds of robotic options from training and coaching to augmented actuality and collaborative robots at WIMTS 2023.
KUKA will display two of its cell, all-in-one coaching cells: KUKA Edu_Additive and its Edu_ArcWelding training cart. The Edu_ArcWelding coaching cell features a KR AGILUS-2 and Lincoln R450 welder, matches by customary measurement doorways and can be utilized with out the welder for normal coaching functions. The cart additionally incorporates a fume extractor, built-in fixture desk and accessible choices that embody Contact Sense, Arc Sense, TRACC TCP and KUKA.Sim. KUKA additionally supplies coaching programs and project-based digital lesson books with Edu_ArcWelding. Developed as a whole starter package deal for faculties, universities and firm studying facilities, the cart streamlines coaching and straight addresses present expert labor shortages.
Equally, the Edu_Additive coaching cell permits college students to rapidly be taught the fundamentals of robotic programming for 3D printing of complicated parts, elements and constructions. The cell makes use of the quick, correct KR 4 AGILUS six-axis robotic with coaching, curriculum and help offered by KUKA’s System Associate One Off Robotics. That includes a quick-release print mattress, filament detection and 1kg/hr extruder, the cell is suitable with any robotic path planning software program and is appropriate for various ranges of issue.
Utilizing a KUKA LBR iisy, KUKA Associate LightGuide will display human-robot collaboration (HRC) with an augmented actuality (AR) workflow course of that effectively guides frontline assemblers for zero-defect manufacturing. The LBR iisy cobot could be taught by hand and requires no particular programming information to fee. Outfitted with extremely refined sensor expertise, the LBR iisy is totally HRC-capable and appropriate for all kinds of producing purposes.
The LBR iisy can even be featured in KUKA System Associate Waybo’s cell, collaborative robotic machine tending cell demonstration of a ZEISS DuraMax CMM. The turnkey co-PartNR robotic cell is designed particularly for high-mix/low-volume machine outlets and leverages the LBR iisy’s versatility, fast instrument altering functionality and intuitive operation for quite a lot of machine-tending duties, together with inspection, marking and cleansing.
One other HRC demonstration will make the most of an AIRSKIN fitted to a KR CYBERTECH robotic performing an element dealing with and visible inspection software in open house with out protecting fences. The KR CYBERTECH is a compact, multi-function robotic that may attain exceptionally excessive speeds with out dropping precision. With the flexibility to be mounted in just about any place – flooring, ceiling, wall or angle – and its streamlined design, the KR CYBERTECH is ideally suited to space-saving cell designs in dealing with purposes. The six-axis KR CYBERTECH fashions are rated for payloads starting from 8 to 22 kg with reaches of 1,612 to 2,013 mm whereas offering repeatability of 0.04 mm. The fenceless software is designed and constructed by DuroByte, a strategic accomplice with AIRSKIN that integrates the expertise into its automation programs. DuroByte is a number one supplier of robotic integration and automation options to quite a lot of industries that enhances general security and efficiency since 2002. Guests to the demonstration can be invited to the touch the robotic security pores and skin to create a close to prompt safety-stop situation. The DuroByte system is totally Cat 3/SIL 3 licensed.
Along with training and HRC, KUKA has teamed with Plasmatreat Openair-Plasma jet expertise to display non-chemical substrate floor preparation and ending. Utilizing a six-axis KR AGILUS robotic to carry out high-precision floor cleansing previous to bonding, gluing, printing or different purposes processes, the expertise shortens manufacturing occasions and reduces rejection charges with out producing chemical waste.
Attendees can even see a dwell robotic milling demonstration from KUKA System Associate Robotic Options that makes use of a KR 50 R2500 IONTEC in a medium-sized, high-accuracy milling cell. The KR IONTEC is a extremely versatile medium payload robotic that boasts the most important work envelope and lowest upkeep necessities in its class. Digital Movement Modes enable customers to simply adapt the KR IONTEC’s efficiency to numerous processes or substeps relying on the necessity for greater precision or velocity, and the payload capability can be adjusted even after set up for optimum manufacturing flexibility. The IONTEC F variant foundry choice permits the robotic for use in extraordinarily scorching environments with an prolonged temperature vary from 0 to 55 levels Celsius.
Robotic Options is a turnkey CAD-to-path programs supplier that gives offline programming, collision checking and simulation. The corporate has been promoting milling robotic programs for nearly 20 years to quite a lot of industrial sectors, together with automotive, aerospace, foundry, signal making and woodworking.
KUKA’s coaching cells and different superior robotic purposes could be seen in sales space 527 at WIMTS 2023, October 3-5 at Wisconsin State Truthful Park in West Allis, Wisconsin.
As with all KUKA automation options, the Edu_ArcWelding coaching cell and different featured merchandise proven at WIMTS 2023 are backed by the corporate’s skilled service and help for coaching, full system engineering and simulation, available spare elements, robotic refurbishment and extra. All of that are simply accessible by the my.KUKA.com web site, and KUKA maintains company workplaces and manufacturing operations, together with integration accomplice services, conveniently situated all through North America to offer responsive customer support and help.
KUKA KUKA is a world automation company with gross sales of round 3.3 billion euro and roughly 14,000 staff. The corporate is headquartered in Augsburg, Germany. As one of many world’s main suppliers of clever automation options, KUKA affords prospects the whole lot they want from a single supply: from robots and cells to totally automated programs and their networking in markets resembling automotive, electronics, metallic & plastic, client items, e-commerce/retail and healthcare.
