HOW KUKA APPTECH FACILITATES THE INTEGRATION AND PROGRAMMING OF ROBOTS IN PRODUCTION

Robots in industrial production are capable of performing a wide range of operations, such as handling parts, welding, gluing and measuring. The problem is that the robot must first learn each process step by means of software commands. The programming of a work step is considerably reduced with the KUKA.AppTech software. Similar to a library,

PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING INDUSTRY

Typically, a gantry-type (also known as Cartesian, linear or transverse) top-mounted three-axis robot is used to demould injection moulded parts. Pick-and-place automation is commonly used to demould injection moulded parts. According to Fanuc Robotics programme manager for the plastics industry, Joseph Portelli, the demand for part orientation capability is increasing. However, today’s moulders are looking
