As an important equipment in the field of industrial automation, KUKA palletizing robot arms are available in a variety of types to meet the needs of different scenarios. The following are the main types of KUKA palletizing robot arms:
1. Classification by number of axes:
Six-axis palletizing arms, such as the KUKA KR60 series, with six rotating joints, enable complex spatial movements and are suitable for palletizing operations requiring high precision and flexibility.
Four-axis palletizing arm: Although the specific model may change due to product updates, the four-axis palletizing arm usually has a simpler structure and relatively low cost, while still meeting certain palletizing needs.
2. Classification by structural characteristics:
Articulated palletizing robot arms: This type of robot arm achieves flexible spatial movement through multiple rotating joints, such as KUKA's six-axis articulated robot. They can easily handle complex palletizing tasks, such as palletizing materials of different sizes and shapes.
Rectangular coordinate palletizing robot arms: Although this type of robot arm may not be the main one in KUKA's product line, rectangular coordinate robot arms usually have simple structure, large range of motion, and high positioning accuracy. They are suitable for scenarios where palletizing accuracy and stability are required.
3. Classification by application scenario:
Universal palletizing arm: suitable for palletizing operations in a variety of industries and material types, with a wide range of applicability.
Special palletizing arm: A palletizing arm designed for a specific industry or material type, such as a special palletizing arm for food, ceramics, metal processing and other industries. These robotic arms are generally more targeted and efficient.
4. Classification by functional features:
High speed palletizing mechanical arm: pay attention to the palletizing speed, can complete the palletizing operation of a large number of materials in a short time.
Heavy-duty palletizing arm: with strong load capacity, it is suitable for handling and palletizing heavy materials.
In addition, KUKA offers a wide range of optional accessories and customized services to meet the individual needs of customers for palletizing robotic arms. These accessories may include different grippers, sensors, controllers, etc., as well as customized solutions for specific application scenarios.
