The KUKA Genius V is the award-winning vertically designed member of the KUKA Genius product family. Available as KUKA Genius V plus, it is a versatile single-head friction welding machine for customers with limited space and special component requirements. Industries & applications The KUKA Genius V features the latest, industry-proven technology modules and, with a forge force of 1.2 - 30 tonnes, can be used for a wide range of components in diverse industries, e.g.: • Automotive - Piston rods - Drive / prop shafts - Axles • Construction industry - Piston rods - Hydraulic cylinders • Metal industry - Shafts - Heat exchangers - Tools System architecture The vertical system architecture enables a substantially smaller footprint of just 5.9 m2 incl. control cabinet. The significantly more compact design based on the plug & play principle enables an ergonomic workspace, as well as simple transportation, optimized cabling and shorter commissioning times. The electronically controlled hydraulic system additionally saves up to 20 % energy. Features & functions • Active travel control (for minimizing length tolerances) • Defined-angle positioning • Automatically adjustable backstop • Automatic operator door • User management with EKS chip • Weld data export • Automation interface • Ready for I4.0, based on OPC UA • Data matrix code interface (for component tracking) • KUKA RemoteService Control & operation The KUKA Genius V has a clearly designed touch panel for simple and intuitive operation. Comprehensive reporting with data analysis of all process-relevant parameters for improved quality monitoring is possible for 12 weld parameters in real time thanks to the new PCD controller. A reject is reported if the parameter limits are violated. reddot award 2017 winner
