BMW orders over 5000 robots
The Augsburg-based automation specialist Kuka and the Munich-based automotive group BMW have signed a framework agreement for the delivery of around 5000 robots for new production lines and plants.
In the coming years, Kuka industrial robots will be used worldwide at the BMW Group's international production sites in the manufacture of current and future model generations. The various robot models will be used primarily in body construction and other technologies.
The scope of delivery also includes other products from the Kuka portfolio, such as linear units that enlarge the robot's workspace. They are controlled using the same controller as the robot. This means that they can be integrated into the workflow without additional equipment. Energy supply packages developed by Kuka are also included in the scope of delivery.
