Kuka has launched a brand new vary of SCARA (Selective Compliance Meeting Robotic Arm) robots with payloads of as much as 60kg. The corporate provides that the brand new robots have “particular options” reminiscent of their excessive velocity and repeat accuracy.

With the KR SCARA within the now out there 20-kg payload class and shortly to be launched 60-kg payload class, Kuka is additional increasing its portfolio of four-axis robots.

Moreover, Kuka says the compliance with the EU’s CE certification laws “underscores their top quality and security requirements, making them enticing to a worldwide market”.

The high-precision planetary gear of the A1 axis of the KR 20 will increase rigidity and permits extra secure operation. That is significantly worthwhile in purposes that require excessive accuracy.

The three out there reaches of 800 mm, 1000 mm and 1200 mm of the horizontal articulated robotic provide flexibility for various software necessities.

Particularly, the 1200 mm attain opens up new potentialities in work areas that have been beforehand not lined by Kuka’s SCARA robotic collection.

The compact design of the SCARA robotic, with a payload of as much as 20 kg, is one other benefit, facilitating the mixing into current manufacturing methods.

Due to the cable connector plate on prime of the A2 axis, Kuka says the set up time and complexity is lowered. It’s out there as normal, CR and IP54 model for cleanroom purposes, making it appropriate to be used within the electronics trade, for instance.

With the KR 60, Kuka’s SCARA vary provides one other new member. With its elevated payload capability and excellent efficiency when it comes to rigidity and velocity, this industrial robotic is able to sort out even heavy load duties. It affords a attain of as much as 1200 mm and a exceptional payload-to-weight ratio of 1:2.

Designed for dealing with cumbersome and heavy battery cells or for heavy-duty palletizing in different manufacturing industries, the four-axis robotic is ready to deal with any form of tough scenario with ease.

The KR SCARA robots are straightforward to put in and stand out with a cost-efficient design. They work reliably with out the necessity for a posh metal construction or planar referencing and leveling.

Apart from the brand new fashions with payloads as much as 20 and 60 kg, Kuka additionally has SCARA robots with payloads of 6, 12 and 13 kg (solely out there as HO model) in its portfolio.
