Hygienic design robot for food industry
In food processing environments, hygiene is paramount to ensure product safety and compliance with rigorous standards. Often, ensuring cleanliness means overcoming challenges related to cleaning and maintenance, without sacrificing operational speed and precision.
Pick and place small parts efficiently
The KR DELTA robot by KUKA is a hygienic high-speed solution designed for handling and picking small parts in sensitive industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Made entirely of stainless steel, it meets stringent hygiene standards, including German LFGB, US FDA, and European CE. The KR DELTA operates within a cylindrical work envelope with a 1,200 mm diameter and 250 mm height, capable of performing tasks with a cycle time of up to 0.5 seconds. Its encapsulated gears and self-lubricating ball joints make it particularly low-maintenance. The robot is protected against dust and moisture according to IP 67 and can be cleaned under high pressure using alkaline or acidic agents. Additionally, it is controlled by the KR C5 micro robot controller, reducing energy consumption by nearly 35% compared to previous models, without compromising on performance.
