Augsburg, October 2010 At K 2010, the international flagship fair for the plastics industry, KUKA Roboter GmbH is presenting the new generation of shelf-mounted robots the QUANTEC series and the new KR C4 controller generation. In Hall 12, Booth C49, the technological leader from Augsburg is demonstrating how automation solutions for the plastics industry are becoming simpler, safer and more energy efficient.
Simply compact: the new QUANTEC K shelf-mounted robot series
KUKA Roboter GmbH is presenting two models from the new QUANTEC shelf-mounted robot series: the KR 240 R3100 K ultra and the KR 90 R3700 K prime. This series comprises 11 models in two product lines QUANTEC K prime and QUANTEC K ultra. Thanks to the optimized payload and reach intervals, the customer is always able to select a robot that is ideally suited to the specific application. The weight has been reduced by up to 160 kg and axis 2 is located 400 mm further forward, making the QUANTEC K series ideal robots for the plastics industry. They are the obvious choice for operation on injection molding machines.
Simply safe: KR C4 the control system of the future
With the KR C4, KUKA is presenting trade fair visitors with a control system that integrates robot, motion, sequence and process control. But that is not all. Even more important is the fact that the complete safety controller is seamlessly integrated into the KR C4 control system. In other words, the KR C4 performs all tasks at once. In the new control system, KUKA has systematically dispensed with limiting hardware and replaced it with intelligent software functions. The concept is thus characterized by its absolute openness and future compatibility.
