Four-axis Model KR 40 PA(TM) features ductile cast iron base, which houses 3 of unit's 4 motors. With motors in base and upper arm made of carbon fiber composite, bulk of robot's weight is in lower structure, facilitating acceleration and deceleration. Payload capacity of 40 kg and 2,091 mm reach supports 800 and 1,000 mm pallet applications. Robot is suited for homogenous and mixed palletizing, as well as conveyor-tracking material handling applications.

New KUKA KR 40 PA(TM) Robot Constructed of Unique Carbon Fiber Material Increases Customer's Throughput
Clinton Township, Michigan - June 6, 2005 - KUKA Robotics Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of industrial robots, today announced the introduction of its new KUKA KR 40 PA(TM) case packing robot. The robot is the industry's fastest case packing robot and is constructed using a carbon fiber composite. This unique material makes the robot arm lighter, faster and less expensive thereby ultimately increasing the customer's throughput. The new robot delivers the flexibility of a fully programmable robot solution, at rates normally associated with CAM driven mechanisms. Its carbon fiber design enables high speeds with the largest work envelope in industry.
"Robotic packaging and palletizing is reshaping the whole supply chain," said Joe Campbell, director of strategic alliances for KUKA Robotics Corporation. "Our customers want the flexibility of a robot with the highest possible pack rates and the KR40 delivers with the industry's best performance
