Autonomous mobile robot for flexible production
Enhance your production line with mobile precision; navigate and adapt to dynamic environments efficiently while staying flexible in layout and operation.
Navigates, Transports, and Positions Autonomously
The KMR iiwa from KUKA Robotics is an innovative mobile robotic system that seamlessly integrates collaborative robot capabilities with autonomous navigation. What sets this equipment apart is its high degree of mobility and flexibility, designed for dynamic environments across industries such as automotive, electronics, and healthcare. Its seven joint torque sensors and laser scanners provide safe, human-robot collaboration without protective barriers, making it highly sensitive and autonomous. The use of Mecanum wheels enables omnidirectional movement and precise positioning with up to +/- 5 millimeters accuracy, critical for reducing idle times and optimizing production flow. The KMR iiwa operates independently on Li-ion batteries, controlled by KUKA’s Sunrise.OS and Sunrise Controller, ensuring ease of operation. The system supports various configurations, allowing you to tailor your mobile robotic solution to specific needs, while its use of the KUKA.Navigation Solution with SLAM technology ensures real-time mapping and obstacle avoidance, crucial for continuous, reliable operations in complex production settings.
