LBR iisy Cobot 

Der LBR iisy richtet sich an Unternehmen, die die einfache Bedienung und Flexibilität eines Cobots nutzen möchten, zugleich aber höhere Anforderungen an Reichweite, Dynamik, Prozessstabilität und Integration stellen. Dadurch eignet er sich für Anwendungen, die über typische Cobot-Einsatzbereiche hinausgehen, ohne die Komplexität klassischer Industrieroboter zu erhöhen.

Die wichtigsten Vorteile:

• Industrielle Stabilität im Produktionsbetrieb

• Einfache Inbetriebnahme und Programmierung

• Sichere Mensch-Roboter-Kollaboration

• Hohe Integrationsfähigkeit in bestehende Maschinenumgebungen

• Verständliche Diagnose- und Servicefunktionen

Kurz gesagt: Der industrielle Cobot LBR iisy eignet sich für Unternehmen, denen klassische Cobots nicht weit genug gehen, die jedoch eine einfach bedienbare und flexibel skalierbare Automatisierungslösung suchen.

People and collaborative robots can work together safely when appropriate safety functions, sensors, and protection measures are implemented. Depending on the application, these systems monitor workspaces, robot speed, safety distances, and defined protection zones between operators and robots. This helps reduce risk and enables safe operation in environments ranging from isolated automation cells to direct human-robot collaboration (HRC).

KUKA offers a comprehensive portfolio of cobots, safety technologies, software, and services to support safe human-robot collaboration:

• KUKA robots and cobots with integrated safety functions
• Laser scanners, light curtains, and additional safety components
• Safe interfaces such as Safe I/O and safety fieldbus systems for machine and system integration
• iiQKA.SafeOperation for safe workspace, position, and speed monitoring with scalable license packages
• Safety services for risk assessment, safety concept development, integration, and optimization

Benefits: Improved operator safety, reliable compliance with safety requirements, and efficient implementation of collaborative and hybrid automation concepts.

The LBR iisy can be equipped with grippers, sensors, vision systems, and other peripheral devices to support a wide range of manufacturing applications. This flexibility allows the industrial cobot to integrate seamlessly into existing machines, production systems, and operator workflows.

Compatible peripherals include:

• Grippers and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT)
• Sensors for process monitoring and quality control
• Machine vision and camera systems
• PLC and machine control systems
• CNC machines
• HMI and operator interfaces
• Fieldbus and industrial communication interfaces
• Feeding, storage, and material handling systems

Benefits: Extend the value of existing equipment, reduce integration effort, and implement new automation applications cost-effectively.

The LBR iisy makes it easy to get started with robotics while providing the flexibility required for advanced automation projects. With iiQKA.OS2, intuitive programming tools, guided wizards, and ready-to-use templates, applications can beimulated, tested, and commissioned efficiently. The iiQWorks engineering suite, virtual commissioning, and offline programming tools support the entire engineering workflow.

With the iiQWorks.App Builder, users can also create custom software components and operator interfaces, including HMI screens, programming statements, cators, and integrations with RSI and EKI.

Benefits: Reduced engineering and training effort, faster commissioning, and quicker deployment of automation solutions. At the same time, the platform remains flexible enough to support future expansion into more advanced applications and production environments.

The iiQKA.OS2 operating system provides the technology foundation for the LBR iisy, bringing programming, simulation, commissioning, and operation togethere platform. For manufacturers and integrators, this means cobots and industrial robots can be planned, programmed, deployed, and scaled using a common software architecture and engineering workflow.

Key advantages include:

• One operating system for cobots and industrial robots
• Efficient planning and offline programming
• Virtual commissioning with iiQWorks
• Integration with machines, PLCs, and control systems
• Scalable across additional robots, applications, and production areas

Benefits: Standardized engineering workflows, faster project implementation, and a scalable automation platform that can grow across robots, machines, and production environments.
