The simplest way of controlling robots. Touch screen. Graphics support. Flexible interaction. The more powerful the capabilities of the robots become, the more intuitive user interfaces for operator control of the robots are pushed into the foreground. The new KUKA smartPAD brilliantly demonstrates, on a large, high-resolution, antireflection touch screen, how robots can be operated intuitively.
.
Operations are presented to the user in a transparent manner by means of intelligent, interactive dialogs. The user always has at his disposal precisely the operator control elements that he actually needs at any given moment. With the aim of focusing attention on what is important, so that users can work more intuitively and thus more easily, quickly and efficiently. Simply smarter in every respect.
Intuitive user interface and ergonomics – optimized down to the very last detail The new KUKA smartPAD leaves little to be desired in the operator control of robots. Weighing only about 1,000 grams, it offers both service-proven operator control elements, such as the 6D mouse, and also a wide range of new features. Essentially, the smartPAD is operated using a well-lit touch screen and few keys. The assignment of four multifunctional function keys can be adapted to the specific program. The function that is active at any time is clearly indicated in the display. A few keys can thus provide direct access to a large number of individual functions. And this in a highly ergonomic manner for fast, user-friendly work in daily operation. The same applies to the keyswitch, which is no longer tied to fixed operating modes, but is linked to the graphical user interface in a context-sensitive way. This means that the new smartPAD, in conjunction with data entry via the touch panel, is able to cover all national or international requirements universally without hardware adaptations. More power at your service At the same time, new hardware features have been integrated into the smartPad for even more efficient work. For example, in addition to the six familiar jog keys, it now has two additional rocker switches. Altogether, this means that eight axes can be controlled directly, without the need to switch between them. A USB port integrated into the housing also allows data to be saved and loaded directly into the smartPAD. Furthermore, the smartPAD is hot-pluggable. If it is not required, simply unplug it while the system is running. For safety, or in order to use the same smartPAD with several systems. Simply ergonomic. Simply well-thought-out.
