Four control processes in one control system And always safe The KR C4 controller is a pioneer for the automation of today and tomorrow. It reduces your costs in integration, maintenance and servicing. At the same time, the long-term efficiency and flexibility of the systems are increased - thanks to common, open industry standards. The KR C4 software architeture integrates Robot Control, PLC Control, Motion Control (e.g. KUKA.CNC) and Safety Control. All controllers share a database and infrastructure. This makes automation simpler and more powerful. Both now and in the future. KR C4: one for...

A global communicator KR C4 for compatibility worldwide No matter where in the world high-performance control systems are required, KR C4 is the answer. It works reliably with different mains voltages and types. In extreme cold, heat or humidity. It speaks 25 languages – including the major Asian ones – and meets all globally relevant ISO and US standards. ISO Advantages of the KR C4 • Meets all globally relevant ISO and US standards • Suitable for operation in most environmental conditions • Supports different mains voltages and types • User interface in 25 languages KUKA Controllers�Flexibility...

Superior in each and every form The KR C4 variants The heat exchange system, with separate air circulation in the inner and outer zones of the controller, allows low-maintenance operation even in dusty environments. Entirely without filter mats. With five variants, the KR C4 can be optimally integrated into your automation environment. Requirements for stackability, protection against dust, humidity and other influences can thus be taken into account. KR C4 – the versatile concept • Available in five cabinet variants designed for different areas of application • Control cabinets with protection...

Simply more freedom The intelligent KUKA smartPAD KUKA smartPAD: operation with all the advantages • Universally applicable for all KUKA robots and KR C4 controllers • Can be connected and disconnected at any time, integrated USB port • Suitable for international use • Intuitive operator control via the well-lit 8.4" touch display • Eight jog keys for direct control of eight axes / external axes Master even complex operating tasks easily – that’s what the KUKA smartPAD is designed for. The context-sensitive interface only displays the options relevant at the moment of operation. Thanks to the...

A single control panel to reliably perform the most varied of tasks. Complexity classes of programming KUKA smartPAD options _1 MMMMMMMMMlh KR C4 offers the right programming option for every group of operators: from simple template programming for non-specialists to highly differentiated expert programming. _1_2_3 Simple programming with KUKA inline forms _4 KUKA.CNC application _5 Application in the arc welding sector _6...

Configuration, programming, start-up and diagnosis. KUKA.WorkVisual provides a homogenous offline development, online diagnosis and maintenance environment. Program-neutral catalogs and project data ensure consistency and seamless integration. Tools with a uniform interface and menu system. The program code is already checked for logic in the background while programming steps are being carried out. This means that errors are nipped in the bud, and projects can be implemented more efficiently and consistently. Interactions are made visible by visual tools -making them more intuitive and easier...

One interface for all KUKA.PLC mxAutomation 0% need to adapt KUKA speaks your language Native programming interfaces make for simple programming and integration of KUKA robots into your machine environment. The mxAutomation function package, KUKA.PLC mxAutomation, makes it possible for external controllers with an embedded PLC to command KUKA robots on the basis of elementary motion instructions. This provides an easy route to implementing a central operator control concept for robotautomated production machines that is highly convenient for end customers. The outstanding kinematic and safety-relevant...

Makes the generalist a specialist Application and additional software KUKA provides a wide range of predefined application and additional software for the KR C4 for virtually all common robot applications. This makes it possible to program sequences quickly so that the system is operational in a short time, for example for adhesive bonding and arc welding applications. In addition, function and technology packages can compensate for deviations in the shape or position of workpieces, automatically transform the CNC data generated with a CAM system into a robot program and carry out further industry-specific...

Leading today and tomorrow Thanks to proven industrial standards Four dedicated control modules One control system Today, mainstream technologies such as multi-core architecture and Gigabit Ethernet enable industry-standard performance. The KR C4 uses these technologies, allowing for the comprehensive expandability of software-based interfaces. It can be used to realize new safety concepts in automation, for example in human-robot cooperation tasks. Sensors which require numerous inputs and outputs can be easily connected to the KR C4. Less is more: the number of hardware modules, connectors...
