Raising the curtain on the new small robot series from KUKA
Munich, May 2006 – KUKA Roboter has some surprises in store for AUTOMATICA 2006 (Hall B3, Stands 211 + 221), where it will be presenting a new team. The company is rounding out its extensive product portfolio with a new six-axis small robot series and KUKA scara robots. KUKA ranks among the world’s leading suppliers of industrial robots as the all-round supplier, offering customers throughout the world not only top service from trained personnel, but also the right robot model for every automation solution – all with the usual KUKA quality. The KUKA Roboter product portfolio now covers the entire spectrum, ranging from high payloads and special models right down to the small robotics segment.

With its great product variety, the German industrial robot manufacturer succeeds in meeting the demands of the market. KUKA robots have long been working in the most widely differing fields, performing the most varied tasks in numerous applications. They have always distinguished themselves through the quality of their work, their flexibility and their ease of operation. These characteristics are now also embodied in the new “small robots” from KUKA.

sixx and scara
And here is the new line-up: the KR 5 sixx is, as its name implies, a six-axis robot with all the advantages offered by its colleagues in the high-payload categories. It is compact, flexible, notably quick and agile. It is offered with two different reaches: 650 mm and 850 mm.

For pick & place tasks, KUKA is bringing two robot series onto the market: the KR 5 scara and the KR 10 scara. The new four-axis models from KUKA are likewise available with different reaches and leadscrew travels.

The KR 5 scara has a reach of 350 or 550 mm. The KR 10 scara is equipped with a reach of 600 or 850 mm.
All the new KUKA team members are also available in splash-proof versions and are thus ideal helpers in the food industry. Their colleagues for the cleanroom will not be long in coming either.

New but familiar
With this comprehensive product portfolio KUKA Roboter offers more than just solutions for assembly work, pick & place tasks or packing different products. Their robots can be used in all those places where a lot has to be done in a limited space.
 
Great performance in a small space is also true of the control system of the new team members. The entire KUKA control competence fits into a compact 19" housing. It is equipped with all the familiar standard interfaces, and of course all the KUKA software options can be used. The new robots are operated using the proven KUKA Control Panel (KCP), which is detachable. So even with the small robots, it’s the same KUKA look, KUKA feel, and KUKA quality.
