Bolt-Picking Robotic Cell Ideal for Automotive Assembly
KUKA Robotics' highly precise bolt-picking robot cell for automotive assembly applications features a KUKA KR 6 AGILUS robot paired with a KEYENCE Vision System. This cell highlights KUKA's advanced ability to automate even the most intricate applications for increases production.
The KR AGILUS is a compact, six-axis robot designed for particularly high working speeds that reduce cycle times and increase production quality. The KR AGILUS adapts to any installation position and a wide range of variants, including Cleanroom, Hygienic Machine and Waterproof allowing it to perform in almost any environment. Continuous productivity is ensured with minimal maintenance requirements and gear units that never need lubricant change.
The KR 6 effortlessly performs operations such as bin and bolt picking to improve production, reduce error and streamline processes.
The robot is guided by a KEYENCE 3D Vision System that identifies which parts to pick and calculates the optimal robot motion paths to avoid collisions as it selects, picks and deposits the bolts. By detecting bolt positions and sending those coordinates to the robot, the KEYENCE system enables faster, more flexible picking. It also outperforms traditional bowl feeding systems, providing increased uptime and availability required in high throughput automotive applications.
