Motek 2017: KUKA presents solutions for human-robot-collaboration

Name: MOTEK
Start: 2017-10-08T22:00:00+02:00
End: 2017-10-11T22:00:00+02:00

At the international trade fair for production and assembly automation Motek from October 9th to 12th, KUKA will present various automation solutions for human robot collaboration (MRK) with the motto: "Hello Industry 4.0 - adding HRC value to your production". Corresponding applications illustrate how the typical daily routine in a production can be optimized - and thus becomes even more cost-efficient. Visit us in hall 7 at booth 7214.

HRC-solution: The option

More and more processes can be implemented with sensitive robots: In the meantime, human-robot collaboration becomes more and more the most economically advantageous choice. "Flexible solutions can be the better option compared to complete automation," says Henning Borkeloh, Vice President Advanced Technology Solutions at KUKA Systems. "How that looks like for different branches, we will show our visitors at Motek". The main actor in flexible HRC solutions is the seven-axis sensitive KUKA lightweight robot LBR iiwa.

Industry 4.0 with the KUKA LBR iiwa

The market has changed. As a result adjustments must also be made in the production. Individuals who want to respond flexible on demand need appropriate solutions. KUKA offers this and presents some HRC-capable applications with the flexible KUKA flexFELLOW robotic unit at the international trade fair for production and assembly automation.

KUKA flexFELLOW ready2_bolt: flexible and adaptable

At the booth trade visitors can see the KUKA flexFELLOW ready2_bolt in action. The lightweight robot, equipped with an HRC-capable A-Class screwdriver, screwed from above, from below, from the side and also opens a bottle with a bottle cap. The solution with the KUKA flexFELLOW enables flexible and versatile production: the application can be moved manually to its place of use and set-up in short time. Humans and robots move freely and without protective fences in the same workspace and can operate hand in hand. An Industrie 4.0 smart production at its best.

Specialist lecture "Challenges of Human-Robot-Collaboration in assembly and system solutions in series"

Otmar Honsberg, Head of ApplicationEngineering at KUKA Systems GmbH will address the challenges ofHuman-Robot-Collaboration in the assembly during the MOTEK Exhibitor Forum on Wednesday, October 11th at 14:20 pm and introduce KUKA's innovative HRC systemsolutions in series. Visit the specialist lecture in Hall 7 Booth 7525 free of charge, without prior registration. In addition, we would be happy to answer individualquestions on KUKA´s Booth 7214 in Hall 7.

Arena of Integration: Benefiting of Industrie 4.0

More flexibility in production, optimized production processes and modern networked production technologies are the base for meeting challenges of the future. The Arena of Integration is a joint project of innovative companies and shows how medium-sized enterprises benefit from the opportunities of Industrie 4.0 and are more successful by using networked systems.

A total of 18 global players, medium-sized and start-up companies - including KUKA - demonstrate the integration capability of a wide range of core competencies in a comprehensive value chain by means of a torch to be personalized. Visit us at the Arena of Integration in Hall 8, booth 8525 and learn more about your possibilities with Industrie 4.0!
