Efficient automation in the plastics industry

KUKA provides a wide range of robots specifically designed for operation in the plastics industry. They are primarily characterized by four properties that are essential in this industry:

• Lightweight:
  KUKA shelf-mounted robots stand out for their low weight and small volume. They can be installed directly on machines with minimum effort, thereby saving space.
• Fast:
  Thanks to their low moving mass, KUKA shelf-mounted robots achieve a high dynamic performance and very short cycle times. This enables higher productivity and cost-effectiveness with rapid payback.
• Reliable planning:
  KUKA robot families have an identical mounting base hole pattern. This allows different KUKA shelf-mounted robots to be used on machines of different sizes without any additional planning measures.
• Deep reach:
  KUKA shelf-mounted robots are designed for an especially large downward reach. They optimally access the workspace from above. Thanks to their low height, they require little vertical space.
