KUKA : launches new generation of the KR QUANTEC series

The portfolio the new KR QUANTEC generation has been optimized. Thanks to a slimmer modular system, delivery times are reduced significantly, for example. 'At the same time, we can offer our customers flexible, tailor-made robots that represent a sound investment in the future. Among other ways, we achieve this through the option of upgrading payload capacity, high variability through special-purpose variants in the portfolio or technical optimizations such as shortened stopping distances or an optimized working range,' states Wolfgang Bildl.

The updated design leads to a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) since previous maintenance measures are partially eliminated. In addition, downtimes and maintenance requirements are minimized through the inclusion of a new cable and energy supply system concept as well as a reduction in the number of spare parts (keyword: optimized modular system). This simultaneously increases availability. Beyond this, start-up has also been simplified further.
