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 system also uses a portion of a Kuka KR16 robot attached to the gantry robot.
The new gantry robot when combined with Kuka Robotics' user friendly PC-based control platform will give customers an extremely easy to use and easy to learn automated dispensing solution.
"Applications that cannot use an articulated robot or where an articulated robot is not practical will benefit from Delta Sigma's new system", said Kevin Kozuszek, Director of Marketing for Kuka Robotics Corp.
"We believe DSC's new gantry robot when combined with Kuka controls and robot arm will deliver unique and valuable solutions to many customers in a broad range of industries".
"We chose the Kuka KMC controller as it is extremely robust, simple to learn and program, and easy to operate", said Roger Richardson, president of Delta Sigma Corp.
"The Kuka KMC control technology is ideal for customers with a one-of-a-kind application that needs 6 degrees of freedom".
The Kuka KMC controller can be used to control a wide range of kinematic systems and machines more intelligently than with conventional solutions.
Irrespective of whether the individual axes are to be moved synchronously, asynchronously or pulsed, the Kuka controller is ideally suited to all customer requirements.
With Kuka's controller concept for all machine types, more intelligent solutions can be developed.
