As a branch of industrial robots, KUKA SCARA robots are capable of installation, packaging, labeling, sorting and other processing technologies with their high precision, high cost performance, high flexibility and strong adaptability, helping many manufacturing enterprises to reduce staff and increase efficiency. However, with the outbreak of high-tech industries in recent years, such as the 3C manufacturing industry and other labor-intensive industries, in the production of fine components, component mounting, assembly machines and other processes, the incoming materials are fine, the scale of activities is small, and the common SCARA is large in size, which cannot be applied to small space operations. In order to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of fine processing production lines, many international brands have developed lightweight and compact SCARA robots.
KUKA has launched the new ultra-compact KR SCARA horizontal articulated arm robot. The action scale is 500 or 700 mm, and the extremely short cycle time is only 0.36 or 0.38 seconds. The internally routed supply of air, power and data media not only makes the SCARA robot operate reliably, but also intelligently adapts to a wide range of tasks.
Robert Fodor, Head of the Channel Mechatronic Portfolio at Kuka, says: "KR SCARA is tailor-made for the advancement of production efficiency. These models are prepared for quick and easy integration of peripherals and can be used for a variety of different tasks. ”
Kuka is one of the largest manufacturers of industrial robots in Germany and has the most advanced Industry 4.0 production methods to analyze product faults and complete product optimization.
After the self-developed industrial robot production line, KUKA has completely completed the production of fully automated industrial robots. Each robot is produced in a computer with various production processes in its various fields of work, and this data is uploaded to the cloud channel. With a shared database, data profiling can take place. Bottlenecks or parameter faults in the production of products can be identified to the slightest extent, and the origin can be traced so that they can be corrected in time. The collected data can also be transferred to other KUKA plants to help other production departments for optimization.
Unlike the other three of the four international robot families, KUKA is the "purest" robotics company. KUKA's shopping malls are mainly robot ontology and integration, and they are concentrated in the field of car manufacturing.
According to the statistics of China's Robot Industry Alliance (CRIA), in 2018, more than 40,000 new industrial robots were added to the car manufacturing industry, which is the second largest industry in China's industrial robot sales. The electrical and electronic equipment and equipment manufacturing industry topped the list with 46,000 new industrial robots, but a significant proportion of them were small robots. Therefore, the car manufacturing industry is the main battlefield of industrial robots.
The production demand of the car production end is huge, and China's industrial robot manufacturers have a broad living space. Although the technical level lags behind the foreign industrial robot giants, the localized integration affairs allow China's industrial robot manufacturers to take root from scratch and form stable business cooperation with OEMs.
