In the world of industrial automation, precision, flexibility, and efficiency are key to staying competitive. The KUKA KR8 R1620 ARC HW-SEL + SKS, available through Eurobots, is an advanced solution that brings all these qualities together. It is specifically designed for arc welding, adhesive and sealant application, and other material handling tasks.
This six-axis robot combines a compact and versatile design with a payload capacity of 8 kg and a reach of up to 1621 mm, making it highly adaptable to various plant layouts. It can be mounted on the floor, ceiling, wall, or at an angle, offering great installation flexibility.
One of its standout features is its exceptional precision. With a repeatability of ±0.04 mm, it ensures consistent and accurate movements—essential for high-precision tasks like arc welding and adhesive application. The robot also features a 50 mm hollow wrist, allowing for cleaner cable and hose integration. This reduces interference and improves access to work areas.
At the heart of the system is the KR C4 Compact controller, which introduces an innovative system architecture. It integrates multiple control processes—SafetyControl, RobotControl, MotionControl, LogicControl, and ProcessControl—into a single platform with a shared database. This makes programming and maintenance more straightforward and efficient.
Integrating the KR8 R1620 ARC HW-SEL + SKS into production lines offers several business advantages. It boosts productivity by automating repetitive, precision-demanding tasks, enabling higher output without compromising quality. Operational costs are reduced thanks to the energy efficiency of the KR C4 controller and the robot’s durability. The high precision of the system ensures consistent, high-quality results, minimizing variability in manufacturing processes.
Moreover, its flexibility allows companies to quickly adapt to changes in demand or market requirements. The robot and its controller also comply with international safety and energy efficiency standards, supporting regulatory compliance and promoting sustainable practices.
Overall, adopting the KUKA KR8 R1620 ARC HW-SEL + SKS is a strategic investment for companies aiming to enhance their competitiveness in the global market. Its blend of precision, flexibility, and efficiency makes it a robust and adaptable solution for the evolving needs of modern industry.
