Trunnion rotating drum for body-in-white production
In modern vehicle manufacturing, increasing product variants and reducing downtime are critical for maintaining efficiency. Body shops require flexible systems that can adapt to different model specifications without extensive retooling or interruption.

Facilitates seamless tool changeover
The KS Trunnion, developed by KUKA, is a rotary drum system designed for tool changeover in body-in-white production. This modular system can be configured to match specific customer requirements, offering seven lengths, nine heights, three drum bodies, two drive systems, and two media variants. The rotary mechanism enables smooth transitions between different tools, allowing robots positioned around the drum to load, process, and unload components efficiently. The system ensures type flexibility, reduces maintenance with its reliable components, and adapts easily to various production demands.
