Since its market launch in 2010, over 100,000 KR QUANTEC series robots have been delivered. The reasons for this are high reliability and the \u201call-rounder\u201d robot\u2019s uniquely broad spectrum of applications compared to competitors. With a payload capacity between 120 to 300 kg, the robots are designed for use in nearly every market segment \u2013 such as the automotive industry, the foundry sector and the field of medicine, as well as for processing and handling tasks. KUKA\u2019s experience in the dynamic automation industry was leveraged for the revision of the KR QUANTEC series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The result is a reliable, versatile and efficient high-quality solution. With the new KR QUANTEC generation, customers are already investing in the future of their production today.” said Wolfgang Bildl, responsible product manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing flexibility, lower operating costs, shorter delivery times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The portfolio the new KR QUANTEC generation has been optimized. Thanks to a slimmer modular system, delivery times are reduced significantly, for example. \u201cAt the same time, we can offer our customers flexible, tailor-made robots that represent a sound investment in the future. Among other ways, we achieve this through the option of upgrading payload capacity, high variability through special-purpose variants in the portfolio or technical optimizations such as shortened stopping distances or an optimized working range,\u201d states Wolfgang Bildl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The updated design leads to a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) since previous maintenance measures are partially eliminated. In addition, downtimes and maintenance requirements are minimized through the inclusion of a new cable and energy supply system concept as well as a reduction in the number of spare parts (keyword: optimized modular system). This simultaneously increases availability. Beyond this, start-up has also been simplified further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New motion modes for ideal process quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new KR QUANTEC generation is equipped for additional \u201cmotion modes\u201d. These are software add-ons which ensure optimal robot motion for specific applications. The \u201cpath mode\u201d allows for CP motion with greater accuracy and precision while the \u201cdynamic mode\u201d increases speed and thus reduces cycle time at bottlenecks in the production lines. The first motion modes are slated for availability in the second half of 2019 and can be loaded easily via the robot controller. <\/p>\n\n\n
