KUKA Robotics Corporation proposes to exhibit its robotic machining solution designed for the Northern American manufacturing market at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2008 to be held in McCornick Place in Chicago, September 8-13, 2008.
The KUKA KR 100 HA (High Accuracy robot series) along with the KUKA.CAMROB Software, have been designed to assist in high precision applications like milling, trimming, routering, de-burring, dispensing, striping, gauging and laser processing.
KUKA CAMROB Software is capable of generating robot programs automatically from CNC data for several applications like pattern making, stone working, woodworking, metalworking and plastics. It also includes milling application modules which can be used to integrate milling tools. KUKA industrial robots exhibit maximum machining flexibility, and minimize investment costs.
With such offerings,KUKA is able to provide a complete system for an automatic CNC machine with a robot. The milling application modules enable integration of milling tools and additional components into a complete robotic system as standard products. This combination of new software and the KUKA robot enables easy and fast operation of a robot when used as a machine tool.
“The KUKA.CAMROB software opens up a whole new range of potential applications with robots for a wide variety of manufacturing processes,” remarked Stu Shepherd, president KUKA Robotics Corporation.
The system also offers functionality and flexibility as KUKA robots are able to mill, grind, glue, cut, saw and handle quick adaptation to changing production processes. More options become available as the KUKA robot does machining jobs with a 6-axis configuration.
In addition, presence of turn tables and linear units allow the integration of additional axes into the machining process. The 6-axis system is more cost-effective, reducing investment costs by nearly 50 percent and it also offers higher precision, quality and speed.
KUKA.CAMROB provides higher process speeds when compared to machine-assisted or manual machining.
Due to its flexibility, the custom configured system can be used in various applications including prototyping, pattern making, sectioning, engraving and polishing in stone working. KUKA provides systems with application specific components and tools for ensuring high-quality.
