Robots designed for high accuracy path following
A range of robots that are specifically designed for a wide variety of high accuracy applications including laser cutting and welding boast excellent path-following accuracy.
The system also utilises a portion of a KUKA KR16 robot attached to the gantry robot.
The new gantry robot, when combined with KUKA Robotics' PC-based control platform, will give customers what is claimed to be an easy to use and easy to learn automated dispensing system.
Kevin Kozuszek, director of marketing at KUKA, said: "Applications that cannot use an articulated robot, or where an articulated robot is not practical will benefit from Delta Sigmaand's new system.
We believe DSC's new gantry robot, when combined with KUKA controls and robot arm will deliver unique and valuable options to many customers in a broad range of industries." Roger Richardson, president of Delta Sigma Corporation, added: "We chose the KUKA KMC controller as it is extremely robust, simple to learn and program and easy to operate.
The KUKA KMC control technology is ideal for customers with a one-of-a-kind application that needs six degrees of freedom." The KUKA KMC controller can be used to control a range of kinematic systems and machines more 'intelligently' than with conventional systems, claimed KUKA.
Irrespective of whether the individual axes are to be moved synchronously, asynchronously or pulsed, the KUKA controller is claimed to be suitable for all customer requirements. Request a free brochure from KUKA Automation + Robotics ...
