KUKA Robotics Extends Robot Product Offering With New Robots For Welding And Measuring

Clinton Township, MI - KUKA Robotics Corporation, manufacturer of industrial robots, recently announced that it has extended its robot product offering with new robots for welding, cutting and measuring applications. According to KUKA Robotics, the new robot model is designed for tasks requiring high speed accuracy including welding, cutting and measuring applications. The robots' speed and accuracy will allow manufacturers to increase cost-effectiveness of a welding cell by reducing scrap in applications such as laser cutting. The robots have a payload capacity of up to 100 kg and reaches up to 3000 mm and despite their size and reach are extremely accurate a path repeatability of approximately 0.1 mm.

"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 Company adds that the new robots will be offered in 3 models. The KUKA KR 100 HA robot is the basic model with a reach of 2,600 millimeters and payload capacity of 100 kilograms. The KUKA KR 100 L90 HA is an extended model having a reach of 2,800 millimeters, an additional arm extension of 200 millimeters and a new payload capacity of 90 kilograms. Finally, the KUKA KR 100 L80 HA model has a reach of 3,000 millimeters, an additional arm extension of 400 millimeters and a payload capacity of 80 kilograms.
