KUKA makes automation as easy as A B C
At the product launch event at Pune on 5th November, KUKA Robotics India has shown how to make automation as easy as A B C. A for ‘AGILUS’, B for ‘Broad range of products and services’ and C for the ‘Common control system KR C4’
KUKA Robotics India unveiled the KR QUANTEC Series Robot KR 210R2700 extra series variant and the KR C4 robot controller, new KR AGILUS series KR 6 R900 and the KR C4 compact robot controller at the KUKA Robotics India product launch event at Pune.
With its broad range of products, KUKA Robotics offers automation solutions for a vast array of customer requirements. New products, expansion of the service-proven robot family and innovative control technologies enable the Augsburg-based robotics specialist to demonstrate its areas of expertise in general industry.
Core competency in small robots expandedThe KR AGILUS robot series, the new small robot family from KUKA, made its Indian premiere. The KR AGILUS excels in the 6 kg and 10 kg payload categories with utmost precision at extremely high speeds. It is predestined for handling tasks with very short cycle times.
New arrivals in the KR QUANTEC familyKUKA Robotics India presented its new KR QUANTEC robot series – the successor to the bestselling comp and 2000 series. With its extensive range of models, comprising 15 basic robot types with various mounting options, the KR QUANTEC series ensures that there is a perfectly suited robot for every customer-specific application. The robot family covers the entire high payload range from 90 to 300 kg, with reaches from 2,500 to 3,100 mm, press-linking robots for the metalworking industry, shelf-mounted robots for the plastics industry, palletising robots for
the logistics sector and foundry variants for foundry settings are demonstrating their flexibility in applications covering all areas of general industry.
Simple KR C4 controllerAll KUKA robot types have something in common: their open architecture and the features of the KR C4 controller generation. In addition to robot, motion, sequence and process control; safety control has also been seamlessly integrated into the control system. The KR C4 thus not only ensures the simple implementation of dedicated monitoring functions; more importantly, the control technology ensures that the motion and velocity of the robot can be influenced safely. Furthermore, expanded software packages for a wide range of applications and customers’ requirements are also being presented. The machine tool industry now has the software packages mxAutomation and KUKA.CNC at its disposal, enabling the robot and machine tool to work together more efficiently as a system and simplifying production. 
Automation is easyFlexibility, openness, simplicity and safety are the central pillars of successful automation. KUKA Roboter offers general industry customer-specific automation solutions from a single source. With the new areas of expertise in small robots, the expanded KR QUANTEC family and the flexible KR C4 robot controller, KUKA Roboter demonstrated that even complex automation tasks are easy with pioneering ideas.
