Laser cutting with KUKA Robotics

Safe­ty is a key to any man­u­fac­tur­ing indus­try. When safe­ty is not a pri­or­i­ty in a shop, there are more instances of down­time and pro­duc­tion inter­rup­tions, due to sick­ness and injuries. When you use a KUKA laser cut­ting robot for your cut­ting appli­ca­tion, these types of inter­rup­tions can be almost com­plete­ly erad­i­cat­ed, which improves your safe­ty lev­el, while also improv­ing the lev­el of morale in your factory.

Any time you cut a piece of mate­r­i­al, tiny par­ti­cles sur­round­ing the edges of the mate­r­i­al will be released in the air. If you’re talk­ing about food par­ti­cles or biodegrad­able par­ti­cles, that may not be a big deal. But, KUKA laser cut­ting robot­ic sys­tems are usu­al­ly used in met­al plate cut­ting. When met­al is cut, very small shards can be released into the air. If a human work­er was per­form­ing the cut­ting appli­ca­tion close to the work piece, those shards could be breathed into their res­pi­ra­to­ry sys­tem and cause buildup and dis­ease over time.

Anoth­er issue that may be a prob­lem cut­ting appli­ca­tions with­out the use of robots like the KUKA laser cut­ter is the issue of work­ers burn­ing or cut­ting their hands dur­ing the instance of man­u­al appli­ca­tion. When choos­ing a KUKA robot­ic laser cut­ter, man­u­fac­tur­ers are get­ting a sys­tem that keeps work­ers back away from the dan­ger zone dur­ing oper­a­tion, which keeps their body away from the heat and pos­si­ble par­ti­cles pro­duced dur­ing the appli­ca­tion process. When down­time is decreased and work­ers are no longer ill, morale is raised in the shop over­all, which is always a good thing.
