KUKA Robotics will feature a live in-booth welding demonstration showcasing new and innovative welding solutions in cooperation with the KUKA Robotics System Partner Network. Official KUKA Robotics System Partner, ARK Cells , Inc. will be displaying a KR 6 arc in a ST-1 84 Pre Engineered Arc Welding Cell. This cell features an 84 inch reciprocating welding turntable, and is rated at 800lbs capacity per side and can execute a 180 degree rotation in approximately 2.1 seconds. This would place it as one of the fastest cells on the market in this or any turntable class. This cell design is part of a complete line of over 30 different cell types that are now available with the KUKA arc welding robots for the North American customers. The cells are built exclusively by and for KUKA System Partners. They are designed exclusively around the KUKA arc welding robots to take advantage of the inherent power of the KUKA PC robot technology and servo control. The various cell types are suitable for parts as small as 2 ft by 2 ft and as large as 10 ft by 4 foot that weight up to 10,000 lbs. Most designs are available with optional hollow wrist configurations. The cells can be integrated to Fronius, Lincoln Electric, Miller Electric, SKS, and Thermadyne power supplies as the customer chooses. The design targets for these cells are for MAXIMUM QUALITY with MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY.
In a cell designed and supplied by Official KUKA Robotics System Partner UST Technologies the KR 6 will be displayed in a RobUST Series welding cell. The RobUST Series System is a single station, front loading, Servo controlled aluminum welding cell, featuring the KR 6 with a 6kg payload and utilizing a Fronius power supply. Other in booth demonstrations will include a KR60 L45 demonstrating Remote Laser Welding and Cutting technology.
