A robotic arc welding cell has dramatically boosted output at a Hull engineering company by more than halving production cycle times.
The highly-adaptable series features an explosion-proof variant as well as other versions which are suitable for operating in challenging conditions such as cleanrooms and foundries.
The cleanroom variants, for example, are ideal for a wide variety of applications which not only include electronic component assembly but also the production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals and solvents as well as the manufacture of personal care and medical equipment.
The robots, which can be mounted on the floor, ceiling or directly onto a machine, boast innovative working-range monitoring thanks to KUKA's 'Safe Robot' functionality.
"The modular system of the KR16 range means KUKA can produce a robot with added functionality such as explosion protection or cleanroom capability for only a minimal increase in cost," explained Brett Green, KUKA's general sales manager. Request a free brochure from KUKA Automation + Robotics ...
