Heavy lifting with KUKA heavy duty robots

The need to lift heavy objects is one of the rea­sons that robots have become more attrac­tive than human work­ers in some indus­tri­al areas over the years. Robots can lift more than humans in almost every case – espe­cial­ly when it comes to robots like the KUKA heavy duty robot line. KUKA heavy duty robots can lift any­where from 300kg up to 1300kg – that’s almost 3000 pounds! Even with the assis­tance of machin­ery, that kind of load would be hard for one human work­er to handle.

KUKA heavy duty robots can be found in sev­er­al dif­fer­ent indus­tries today, includ­ing the glass, foundry, auto­mo­tive and build­ing mate­ri­als indus­tries. These indus­tries typ­i­cal­ly use heavy parts that need to be moved effi­cient­ly and quick­ly – that is what makes heavy duty robot­ics from KUKA so invaluable.

A heavy duty robot like the TITAN series can lift any­where from 1000 – 1300kg at one time, depend­ing on the mod­el, and the series has vari­a­tions that can work in adverse con­di­tions, like the heat of a foundry. Using these heavy duty robot sys­tems also increas­es safe­ty in many indus­tri­al set­tings. Try­ing to lift heavy items can cause injury to work­ers, and even death in the case of work pieces that fall dur­ing acci­dents. But, by invest­ing in a KUKA heavy duty robot­ic sys­tem, work­ers can be tak­en out of the dan­ger zone, away from heavy work pieces, and put behind the robots as operators.

So, you’re in the mar­ket for a high pow­ered, heavy duty KUKA robot with amaz­ing accu­ra­cy to improve the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of your line? You should call Robots​.com.
