KUKA Robots for the foundry and forging industry
16Pages

Automotive plants, steelworks, foundries, forges. With its diversity of ro-bot types, KUKA has established itself in the wide-ranging foundry market. Even lighter, even more flexible, even more compact and specially adap-ted to the needs of die casting, permanent mold casting, sand casting and forging processes KUKA ֖ robots offer you the right solution for any task and any application. KUKA offers a wide range of shelf-mounted and heavy-duty robots that can be mounted either on the floor or on the ceiling, making them the most multifunctional and flexible foundry robots on the market. KUKA...

Spraying of parting agent Handling Precise contour spraying results in the opti-mized thermal economy of the die, ensuring high quality castings which can also lower cost due to reduced parting agent consump-tion and the use of simpler dies. Assembly and handling of sand core parts.Neither the assembly of delicate core parts nor the handling of complex cores poses problems for a KUKA robot. Finishing work Precise removal of sprue and flash. The stiff- ness of KUKA robots allows accurate sawing and milling along precisely defined paths. KUKA robots grind and polish castings and sand cores...

KUKA robots work perfically in any position. Depending on the specific requirements with respect to the position of the die-casting die, trajectories, accessibility, safety and space, KUKA robots can be installed on, next to or above the ma-chine. Inverted installation in front of die-casting machine Next to the die-casting machine The suspended installation of the KUKA robot in front of, next to or above the machine al- lows even more flexible system concepts.The advantage of this kind of installation is the optimal utilization of space and non-pro-ductive times, and the high availability...

The range of possible applications for KUKA robots knows practically no bounds. A KUKA robot can take on a wide range of tasks in the overall foundry process. This is because the industry-specific KUKA Foundry equipment make it possible to use KUKA robots even in the toughest environments. Die casting KUKA robots have established themselves in the die-casting industry by optimally combining payload capacity and space requirement. Their flexible appli- cation potential, either by or on the die-casting ma-chine, standing or inverted, makes a custo mized and compact cell layout possible....

KUKA offers you the largest product range of shelf-mounted robots, with a wide variety of reaches and work envelopes. They can be adapted to their surroundings through the use of optional arm extensions or KUKA traversing units. The pa-yload capacities of robots manufactured especially for use in foundries and forges range from 16 to 210 kg.Both KUKA shelf-mounted robots and KUKA standard robots have large work envelopes. The aim of the new design of the KUKA shelf-mounted robots was not merely to obtain a long reach forwards and upwards, but also to achieve the maximum possible reach...
