KUKA Robotics Corporation Announces New KUKA KR 100-2 PA Palletizing Robot; New Carbon Fiber Composite Robot Increases Productivity for Medium Payload Palletizing Applications.CLINTON TOWNSHIP Clinton Township can refer to:
"Our customers were demanding shorter cycle times for their lighter payload (1) Refers to the "actual data" in a packet or file minus all headers attached for transport and minus all descriptive meta-data. In a network packet, headers are appended to the payload for transport and then discarded at their destination. palletizing applications," said Joe Campbell, director of strategic alliances for KUKA Robotics Corporation. "The KR 100-2 PA robot delivers increased throughput with its improved speed and the most efficient work envelope available." "Manufacturer's customers continue to develop innovative packaging for their customers and so, must produce products in new shapes, materials and sizes. We have to keep up with that demand for flexibility by offering the right palletizing solution for each project," said Salh Khan, president of AIDCO AIDCO EuropeAid Co-Operation Office AIDCO Automotive Industrial Development Company International a system partner of KUKA Robotics Corporation. "We believe the KUKA KR 100-2 PA(TM) robot will be the robot of choice for mid-sized palletizing applications." The KUKA KR 100-2 PA four-axis robot's third axis linkage linkage In mechanical engineering, a system of solid, usually metallic, links (bars) connected to two or more other links by pin joints (hinges), sliding joints, or ball-and-socket joints to form a closed chain or a series of closed chains. is made of carbon fiber composite material. This state-of-the-art material makes the robot light without sacrificing high stiffness. This allows it to stack loads weighing up to 100 kg to heights of up to 3000 mm, at rates as high as 600 palletizing cycles per hour. The robot is easy to program using KUKA's PalletTech(TM) palletizing software (PalletTech Layout(TM) is included with the robot) that replaces difficult programming with an intuitive graphical Windows interface. This custom-tailored application software makes it easier to carry out programming on a conventional PC and calculate ideal pallet structure. Through the use of PalletTech's off-line unit-load pattern editor commissioning and set-up times as well as the effort needed to create new pallet patterns can be significantly reduced. Additionally, PalletTech monitors and controls the process during a product change and when restarting after a fault. KUKA(TM) Robotics Corporation, with its parent company KUKA Roboter GmbH, Augsburg, Germany, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial robots, with an annual production volume approaching 10,000 units, and an installed base of over 60,000 units. The company's 5 and 6 axis robots range from 3kg to 500kg payloads, and 635mm to 3700mm reach, all controlled from a common PC based controller platform. KUKA robots are utilized in a diverse range of industries including the appliance, automotive, aerospace, consumer goods consumer goods Any tangible commodity purchased by households to satisfy their wants and needs. Consumer goods may be durable or nondurable. Durable goods (e.g., autos, furniture, and appliances) have a significant life span, often defined as three years or more, and , logistics, food, pharmaceutical, medical, foundry and plastics industries and in multiple applications including material handling, machine loading, assembly, packaging, palletizing, welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. , bending, joining, and surface finishing Surface finishing is used to describe a number of industrial processes that can be applied to improve the surface of a manufactured item. The major reason to apply these processes is to improve appearance, improve adhesion or ink wettability, corrosion protection, wear resistance and .
