KUKA at K 2007 - Trade fair highlights

	Small and compact: KR 5 scara – the nifty member of the Small Robots family


KR 5 scara

KUKA compact robots can be used wherever maximum precision and speed are required. The fastest in their class, they master even the most complex tasks in the most confined spaces thanks to their generously dimensioned angles of motion. Furthermore, the low weight of the robots ensures optimum acceleration values and maximum working velocities. This allows minimized cycle times. Lightning-fast robots for small loads with high-end KUKA technology: on display for trade fair visitors at the KUKA booth in a high-speed simulation.

	Unbeatably fast: KR 16 KS-S (Speed) – the power cell for the plastics industry


KR 16 KS-S (Speed)

At K 2007, KUKA is unveiling the velocity-optimized KR 16 KS-S – KUKA’s answer to demands from the industry for faster and more flexible automation solutions. The shelf-mounted robots of type KS combine increased depth of the work envelope in a downward direction with a reduced intrinsic size. Moreover, the new KR 16 KS-S is 20% faster. This advantage is particularly apparent in the shorter cycle times when loading and unloading machines, e.g. injection molders.

	Extremely simple: KUKA.SmartGUI Plastic


KUKA.SmartGUI Plastic

It is not only the KUKA robots that are fast. For users of KUKA robots, ease of operation is not just a bonus, but also offers time savings. It is thus not surprising that KUKA is offering its customers in the plastics industry a user-friendly user interface: KUKA.SmartGUI Plastic. This user interface, tested in industrial practice, is precisely tailored to the requirements of the plastics market and is extremely easy to operate. Visitors can try it out at the fair and see for themselves that KUKA.SmartGUI can also be parameterized for complex processes without the need for complicated programming.

	Let’s meet at your place – the “mobile cell” for KUKA seminars in the plastics industry


Mobile cell

If you need it, it’s in our program. That is why KUKA College will come to your company on request. “Mobile cells” are now also available for programming seminars in the plastics industry, and are equipped with a robot and the corresponding handling system. It is thus possible to carry out on-site robot training at your plant which is in no way inferior in terms of quality and quantity to that provided at permanent KUKA College facilities.
