The KR 16will be executing dry tool paths of the waterjet process around complex 3D partswith quick change tooling ability to demonstrate milling, drilling, and materialhandling. The quick tool changing function uses KUKA`s hand teach device,allowing for automatic tool change function and enabling the user to teach atool path manually using a joystick while utilizing KUKA safe robot technology.The KR16 robotic cell demonstration was designed and supplied by FlowInternational Corporation. In a robotic cell designed and supplied by Official KUKA Robotics SystemPartner, Dyco Inc. the flexible, fast handling KR5 Sixx will be demonstratedutilizing a vision system. The vision system enables the KR5 Sixx to locate andpick random plastic bottles from a moving conveyor belt simulating loading puckcarriers. This same solution could be used for material handling to pick randombottles and load cases.
KUKA Robotics will also display a KR5 Arc in a demo cell designed and suppliedby Electro-Hydraulic Automation an Official KUKA Robotics System Partner. Thedemo cell shows the highly versatile KR5 ARC holding an air powered cutting toolto trim and cut holes in plastics parts, simulating the cuts used in vehicledashboard openings. KUKA Robotics will display an injection molding extraction cell using the KR5Sixx. The KR5 Sixx features the flexibility of variable mounting options offloor or ceiling along with fast handling capabilities, will simulate theextraction of medical syringes from an injection molding machine. The KUKA Robotics System Partner network is designed to mutually benefit eachorganization`s users by extending the way customers can access tailoredsolutions from experienced system partners with the major competitive andtechnological advantage of high precision KUKA robots.
