KUKA robotics introduces family of high speed SCARA robots
KUKA Robotics Corp. has introduced 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 four-axis robots when combined with the company's 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 robots that are said to be 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. “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 600 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 repeatability. The low weigh of the robots ensures optimum acceleration values and maximum working velocities which minimizes cycle times.
