The Foundation for Sustainable Manufacturing

With the new possibilities offered by artificial intelligence, the potential for end-to-end automation in metalworking continues to grow. Smart automation concepts link individual production steps into efficient processes and lay the foundation for future-proof manufacturing. This is precisely where KUKA takes action, demonstrating practical applications for modern manufacturing at AMB in Stuttgart from September 15 to 19 at Booth C51 in Hall 6.

Smart Solutions for Connected Automation

From the automated loading and unloading of machine tools to workpiece transport and machining and quality control processes, KUKA demonstrates how individual production steps can be combined into an end-to-end manufacturing solution. “Future-proof metal-working requires end-to-end automation concepts. The key is the smart networking of all processes along the value chain. That’s exactly what we’re demonstrating at the AMB using concrete applications,” says Steffen Günther, Business Development Manager for Machine Tool Automation at KUKA. The Augsburg-based automation company will showcase its latest generation of robots and controllers at the booth.

With an AI-ready controller and the latest iiQKA.OS2 operating system, KUKA advances automation.

The new generation of the KR CYBERTECH is suitable for a wide range of automation tasks.

AI-Enabled Control Technology

In addition, KUKA is showcasing its latest control and software technology at AMB. With the KR C5 and KR C5 micro robot controllers, powered by the iiQKA.OS2 operating system, KUKA is presenting a future-proof platform for industrial automation that is also designed to be AI-ready. The iiQKA.mxAutomation software interface enables easy integration of the robots into existing machine control systems. In addition, digital tools such as iiQWorks.Sim support planning, virtual commissioning, and optimization of robotic applications.

With the latest generation of robot controllers, processes become future-proof.

With Partners at AMB 2026: Mobile and Stationary Robotics Working Together

BEC

BEC demonstrates how workpieces can be transported between different machining stations using the KMP 1500P autonomous mobile platform.

MAIROTEC

In the MAIROFlex flexible robot cell, KUKA, together with its partner MAIROTEC, presents cost-effective, easy-to-implement solutions – such as for bin picking – which are controlled using computer vision and AI.

wbt automation

wbt automation, in collaboration with KUKA, presents the flexVise robot cell – a compact automation cell for handling vises. Equipped with the new KR AGILUS ultra, it cost-effectively automates CNC machining centers and boosts productivity, especially for small batch sizes.

Device Insight

Software specialist and KUKA subsidiary Device Insight demonstrates how agent-based AI can be used to analyze malfunctions, consolidate relevant information, and assist operators with specific step-by-step troubleshooting instructions.

Solutions for Every Stage of Automation

At AMB, the KUKA Group and its partners will present a portfolio of solutions for mobile and stationary automation, as well as AI-powered services across the entire industrial value chain in metalworking. From September 15 to 19, visitors can stop by Booth C51 in Hall 6 to see for themselves how AI-powered automation can make their systems more productive, efficient, and ready for the future.
