Aidco picks Kuka for pallet robots
US firm Aidco has selected Kuka Robotics to provide robots for its Palligistics system, an intelligent palletising logistics work cell for creating mixed product or build to order pallets.
The robot is ideally suited for industries requiring a heavyweight robot including the building materials, automotive and foundry industries.
"This new robot can be implemented in applications which until now required at least two robots, lift stations or other lifting equipment, thus saving valuable floor space and increasing efficiency", said Stuart Shepherd, President of Kuka Robotics.
"Its payload capacity gives production planners the speed and dynamics they previously only dreamed of".
The Kuka KR 1000 Titan six-axis robot recently earned its place as the world's strongest robot in the Guinness Book of Records.
It has a total of nine motors, which together deliver the power of a mid-sized car.
It features a robust steel base frame and a new drive concept.
In axes 1 and 3, two motors feed into a single gear unit.
Axis 2 is powered by two motors, each with its own gear unit.
The Kuka Titan can withstand a static torque of 60,000Nm.
