High speed SCARA 4-axis robot family is designed for customers needing highly reliable and precise automation of long reach 'pick and place' tasks and have user-friendly PC control.
KUKA Robotics Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of industrial robots, today announced the introduction of its KUKA KR10 SCARA robot family.
The new high speed SCARA robot family is designed for customers needing highly reliable and precise automation solutions of long reach tasks.
The new 4-axis robots when combined with KUKA Robotics' user friendly PC-based control platform gives customers an extremely easy to learn and use pick and place automation solution.
The new robots broaden the KUKA product line to include compact space-saving robots that are among the fastest and most reliable robots in their class.
"These new SCARA robots are ideal for customers with pick and place, assembly or material handling applications where precision, reliability and speed are key," said Kevin Kozuszek, director of marketing for KUKA Robotics Corporation, USA.
"Additionally our easy to use KUKA control technology enables simple installation, start-up and programming of our customer's robots." The KUKA KR10 SCARA robot family includes 600mm and 850mm reach models and are capable of handling payloads up to 10kg.
The robots' highly accurate link and gear combinations and optimized control loops in the kinematic chain give the robots unrivalled repeatability.
The low weigh of the robots ensures optimum acceleration values and maximum working velocities which minimizes cycle times.
