• KUKA Adds Training Resource to FABTECH 2023 (Jul 18, 2023)

  SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 14, 2023 – KUKA will feature its ready2_educate_arc education cart that includes a KR AGILUS and Lincoln R450 welder at FABTECH 2023. The all-in-one cart is mobile, fits through standard size doors, can be used without the welder for general training purposes, and can even be used for the manufacturing of smaller parts.

  The cart also features a fume extractor, built-in fixture table and available options that include Touch Sense, Arc Sense, TRACC TCP and KUKA.Sim. KUKA also provides training courses and project-based digital lesson books with ready2_educate_arc. Developed as a complete starter package for schools, universities and company learning centers, the cart streamlines training and directly addresses current skilled labor shortages.  

  “The conference agenda for FABTECH includes more than a dozen sessions related to workforce development, retention or training,” says Casey DiBattista, KUKA’s Chief Regional Officer, North America. “Taking an active role in robotics training and education fulfills our promise to be a single source in automation for our customers and partners.”

  The ready2_educate_arc will be featured along with KUKA robots and product demonstrations in booth B27051 at FABTECH, September 11-14, 2023 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.  

  As with all KUKA automation solutions, the ready2_educate_arc and other featured products shown at FABTECH 2023 are backed by the company’s expert service and support for training, complete system engineering and simulation, readily available spare parts, robot refurbishment and more. All of which are easily accessible through the my.KUKA.com site, and KUKA maintains corporate offices and production operations, along with integration partner facilities, conveniently located throughout North America to provide responsive customer service and support.

• KUKA expands its autonomous mobile portfolio with KMR iisy and KMP 1500P (Jul 24, 2023)

  KUKA expands its range of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) with the introduction of the KMR iisy mobile cobot and the KMP 1500P mobile platform.

  Augsburg, July 2023 – For flexibility and reliability in demanding environments, the KMR iisy fully integrates cobot and transport platform, while the KMP 1500P provides an innovative mobile platform. Optimally equipped for production facilities and warehouses, both make ideal partners for Industry 4.0.

  KMR iisy: Smart manufacturing and logistics partner

  The KMR iisy mobile cobot moves quickly and safely through workspaces for flexible use at assembly workstations, in intralogistics and as a robot service system. It includes the LBR iisy, optionally with a load capacity of 11 or 15 kg, and a mobile platform that carries up to an additional 200 kg. Along with ESD certification, the KMR iisy offers low-particle and low-emission properties for cleanroom use. Its smartPAD pro teach pendant operates both cobot and platform, with no need for a second operating device.

  KMP 1500P: Maximum efficiency in production facilities

  KMP 1500P mobile platform is a groundbreaking automation solution to optimize intralogistic processes. It can transport up to 1.5 tons of a wide range of materials and workpieces, with an impressive stroke of 60 mm and precise positioning accuracy. It is an indispensable partner to pick goods, supply materials to lines and cells, and transport workpieces in process linking.

   

  KUKA's new generation of autonomous mobile robots

  KUKA's new AMR generation meets the highest demands of Logistics 4.0, with intelligence, flexibility, safety and easy handling. Install 3D cameras, safety laser scanners or the IP class 54 to offer reliable protection for the robot, its loads and working environment. With differential drive and flexibility, these robots excel in dynamic, complex environments while they adapt routes autonomously and efficiently. With inductive, intelligent 24/7 charging management, the robots charge at a charging station or during the work process. Any required maintenance is easy and quick, with large access hatches on the KMR iisy and easily replaceable control and switching electronics on the KMP 1500P. The new, intelligent KMReS fleet manager greatly simplifies integration for a cost-efficient, safe solution.

  These easily controllable mobile robots improve processes in (intra-)logistics to reduce time and costs. This benefits large corporations as well as small and medium-sized enterprises.
