The Flexibility of KUKA Picking Robots

KUKA Robot­ics, a com­pa­ny that has been around in one form or anoth­er for over 100 years, is ded­i­cat­ed to mak­ing robots to meet all of their cus­tomers’ needs. So, in addi­tion to their assem­bly, weld­ing and machin­ing capa­bil­i­ties, KUKA also makes pick­ing robots that are flex­i­ble and easy to use. A robot’s flex­i­bil­i­ty and ver­sa­til­i­ty is key to opti­miza­tion on the pro­duc­tion line. 

KUKA robot­ic pick­ers are gen­tle on prod­ucts, despite its size or weight. These robots work with vari­able pres­sures and a del­i­cate grasp on mate­ri­als that helps to reduce break­age, while also decreas­ing cycle times. Ulti­mate­ly, this speeds up the rate of pro­duc­tion on the line and improves the over­all pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of the facility.

KUKA pick­ing robots are incred­i­bly ver­sa­tile and can save man­u­fac­tur­ers thou­sands of dol­lars on extra equip­ment. Unlike ded­i­cat­ed machines that are built to ser­vice a sin­gle prod­uct year after year, the flex­i­bil­i­ty of KUKA robot­ic pick­ing sys­tems allow man­u­fac­tur­ers to change up their prod­uct lines to stay ahead of demand and com­peti­tors. KUKA pick­ers are able to per­form sev­er­al dif­fer­ent kinds of applications.

These robot­ic KUKA pick­ing sys­tems also offer unmatched repeata­bil­i­ty and accu­ra­cy, despite the batch size. This increased accu­ra­cy decreas­es errors and increas­es the qual­i­ty of the end prod­uct. The robots also bring a decrease in down­time since they do not need breaks. This avoids unpro­duc­tive time through­out the work day, fur­ther improv­ing productivity.

Robots​.com, a cer­ti­fied inte­gra­tor for KUKA Robot­ics, has many dif­fer­ent ranges of KUKA pick­ing robots in our ware­house. Per­haps you need a KR 10 R900 SIXX with a small foot­print and incred­i­ble flex­i­bil­i­ty, or a KR 180 that is a high per­for­mance pick­er with a 180kg pay­load and comes with a nar­row foot­print. There is also a KUKA LBR IIWA 7 R800 col­lab­o­ra­tive robot that is made of alu­minum and has 7 axes of free­dom allow­ing for extreme flex­i­bil­i­ty and pre­ci­sion with enhanced safe­ty sen­sors. Your job may also call for a heavy-duty indus­tri­al robot that has a large pay­load of 500kg and large work enve­lope like the KUKA KR 500.

No mat­ter the pick­ing job, Robots​.com has a robot that will per­fect­ly fit your need and appli­ca­tion. Our high­ly-skilled group of engi­neers, tech­ni­cians and sales­men will work to get you the per­fect sys­tem at the right price.
