Automation becomes easy - Flexible automation solutions at GIFA KUKA Roboter
From automotive plants to steel mills, foundries and forge shops: KUKA robots, characterized by their high availability, flexibly perform a wide range of tasks that are typical of the harsh conditions of a foundry environment. The use of industrial robots is synonymous here with high reproducibility and the prevention of fluctuations in quality. Foundry environments are often hot and dirty. Equipped with special protective packages, robots effortlessly withstand heat, humidity, sand and cleaning agents. This makes them the ideal alternative, particularly for tough tasks that are arduous for human workers. In brief: KUKA robots ensure a decisive leap in quality.
Simply compact: the QUANTEC robot series
The new QUANTEC robot series is the first robot family to cover the entire high payload range from 90 to 300 kg with reaches of up to 3,100 mm. A precisely harmonized range of 15 robot types makes it possible to determine the exact robot model that is best-suited to the required motion profile. At GIFA, KUKA will be unveiling the foundry variants KR 120 R3900 ultra K-F, KR 210 R3100 F ultra and KR 180 R2500 F extra – all three have been specially developed for environments with a high degree of fouling and high temperatures.
Simply safe: KR C4 – the control system of the future
The new KR C4 controller features a ground-breaking, clearly-structured and easy-to-understand system architecture that concentrates on powerful open data standards. In this architecture, all integrated control modules have a joint database and infrastructure which they use and share intelligently, and communicate directly with one another.
Networking: robot – system partner – human operator
How do you integrate two automatic assembly lines for core packages in a minimum of space in an existing foundry shop?...
