In the dynamic world of industrial robotics, KUKA has introduced the KR IONTEC ultra, a robot that combines compact design with high performance, aimed at optimizing handling and welding processes in various industries.
Compact Design and High Performance
The KR IONTEC ultra stands out for its slim and robust structure, capable of operating efficiently in confined spaces. This feature allows for the implementation of more compact automation cells, reducing costs and maximizing efficiency in production plants.
Load and Reach Capabilities
This robot offers a load capacity of up to 120 kilograms and a reach that varies between 2,300 and 2,700 millimeters, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. Its versatility positions it as an efficient solution for tasks requiring precision and strength.
Applications in the Automotive and Electric Mobility Industries
The KR IONTEC ultra shows outstanding performance in handling applications, especially in the battery sector, and in spot welding with lightweight clamps. Its ability to handle heavy battery modules and cells makes it an essential tool in the electric mobility industry. Additionally, its compact design is highly valued by automotive industry suppliers seeking efficient solutions for limited spaces.
Simplified Maintenance and Operational Efficiency
One of the standout advantages of the KR IONTEC ultra is its low maintenance requirement. The robot only needs an oil change every 20,000 hours of operation, and its central wrist is designed without belts, reducing the need for spare parts and ensuring greater continuity in operations.
Integration and Ease of Use
The KR IONTEC ultra integrates perfectly into KUKA’s product family, positioned between the KR IONTEC and KR QUANTEC series. It offers high performance with a smaller footprint than the KR QUANTEC, presenting itself as an economical option for companies looking to start automation. Additionally, its compatibility with the KUKA.PLC mxAutomation interface allows for intuitive programming and operation, facilitating its rapid incorporation into existing production environments.
With the launch of the KR IONTEC ultra, KUKA reaffirms its commitment to innovation in industrial automation, providing solutions that combine efficiency, versatility, and ease of maintenance, adapting to the growing demands of modern industry.
