The company's 5 and 6 axis robots range from 3kg to 570kg payloads, and 635mm to 3700mm reach, all controlled from a common PC based controller platform. KUKA Robotics Corporation, with its parent company KUKA Roboter GmbH, Augsburg, Germany, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial robots, with an annual production volume approaching 10,000 units, and an installed base of over 60,000 units. The KR 40 PA robot is available for order today with deliveries beginning in the 3rd quarter. The robot's 40kg payload capacity and 2091mm reach supports both 800mm and 1000mm pallet applications.
Its unique work envelope also enables it to be used in homogenous & mixed palletizing, as well as high-speed conveyor-tracking material handling applications. The lighter weight in the arm keeps the inertial forces low allowing it to move quicker with higher accelerations and decelerations. With these motors designed into the base and the upper arm being made of carbon fiber composite KUKA has transferred the bulk of the robot's weight to its lower structure and lightened its upper arm. The robot's base, which houses 3 of the unit's 4 motors, is made of ductile cast iron giving it stability and strength. The KUKA KR 40 PA four-axis robot is the third mechanism in KUKA Robotics' supply chain automation lineup to utilize carbon fiber material. "Our customers want the flexibility of a robot with the highest possible pack rates and the KR40 delivers with the industry's best performance." "Robotic packaging and palletizing is reshaping the whole supply chain," said Joe Campbell, director of strategic alliances for KUKA Robotics Corporation. Its carbon fiber design enables high speeds with the largest work envelope in industry. The new robot delivers the flexibility of a fully programmable robot solution, at rates normally associated with CAM driven mechanisms. This unique material makes the robot arm lighter, faster and less expensive thereby ultimately increasing the customer's throughput. The robot is the industry's fastest case packing robot and is constructed using a carbon fiber composite. New KUKA KR 40 PA™ Robot Constructed of Unique Carbon Fiber Material Increases Customer's ThroughputĬlinton Township, MI - KUKA Robotics Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of industrial robots, today announced the introduction of its new KUKA KR 40 PA™ case packing robot.
