Robots get injection moulding package
Injection moulding function package will let users integrate robots into any injection moulding machine from 90 to 5500tonne with less installation and engineering time.
The robots' speed and accuracy will allow manufacturers to increases cost-effectiveness of a welding cell by reducing scrap in applications such as laser cutting.
The robots have a payload capacity of up to 100kg and reaches up to 3000mm and despite their size and reach are extremely accurate, featuring a path repeatability of approximately 0.1mm.
"The new robots' accuracy and speed make them ideal for high precision tasks such as laser welding, laser cutting and measuring", said Kevin Kozuszek, Director of Marketing for Kuka Robotics Corporation.
"Additionally, thanks to its modular design and the versatility of the Kuka controller they can be quickly reconfigured for use in other tasks such as adhesive application".
The new robots will be offered in three models.
The Kuka KR 100 HA robot is the basic model with a reach of 2600mm and payload capacity of 100kg.
The Kuka KR 100 L90 HA is an extended model having a reach of 2800mm, an additional arm extension of 200mm and a new payload capacity of 90kg.
Finally, the Kuka KR 100 L80 HA model has a reach of 3000mm, an additional arm extension of 400mm and a payload capacity of 80kg.
