Kuka
Portfolio in mobile robotics expanded
Kuka is expanding its range of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) with the mobile cobot 'KMR iisy' and the mobile platform 'KMP 1500P'.
The mobile cobot KMR iisy moves safely through the room and can therefore be used flexibly at various workstations in assembly, intralogistics and as a robot service system. It consists of the LBR iisy, optionally with a payload of 11 or 15 kg, and a mobile platform that can carry an additional load of up to 200 kg. According to Kuka, the low-particle and low-emission properties and ESD certification make it suitable for use in cleanrooms. Both the cobot and the platform are controlled via the same 'smartPAD pro', so a second operating device is not required.
The KMP 1500P mobile platform is ideal for optimizing intralogistics processes. It can be used to transport up to 1.5 tons of different materials and workpieces.
