Cleanroom robots - 17587 communication through integration

kuka robots open up enormous potential. Intelligent control systems and software solutions from kuka help to exploit this potential to the full. kuka robot controllers are based on user-friendly Windows™-compliantuser interfaces offering maximum functionality which can be mastered with a minimum of training. In this way, even the most complex systems can be started up quickly and easily and adapted at any time to new require- ments or tasks.

1sps controller (kuka.plc) Integration of a kuka Soft plc allows the kuka robot controller to assume control of the entire ma-nufacturing cell. This saves high hardware costs andalso makes the system significantly more flexible. 2simulation (kuka.sim) kuka.sim makes it possible to simulate the plannedapplication. This enables processes to be visualized and optimized before commissioning. 12

performance features of the kuka control panel (kcp):

Ergonomic kuka Control Panel for easy operationPredefined forms for quicker entry of commandsEfficient operator guidance Fast teaching with the 6D mouse Familiar Windows™-style operation

kuka control panel (kcp) The kcp teach pendant is fitted with an8" color display, 6D mouse and customer- specific softkeys and hardkeys to make handling the controller even easier. kuka kr c2 robot controller The kr c2 is highly versatile and can beexpanded at any time and integrated into networks via bus. A wide range of soft- ware expansions is optionally available.
