The new masters of speed

June 2012

KUKA Roboter GmbH presents a new small robot family: the KR AGILUS robot series. The agile KR AGILUS is showing itself to be the all-rounder for small spaces in all environments. The new compact member of the KUKA robot family is characterized by its speed, short cycle times and high level of precision and safety.

Compact, precise, agile and fast: the robots of the KR AGILUS series are the new masters of speed.

When it comes to handling tasks, especially Pick&Place, the KR AGILUS offers impressive results combined with minimized cycle times. At the same time, the small robot family works with great precision, enabling manufacturing quality of the highest quality. The basic model, KR 6 R900 sixx, weighing 51 kilograms, can carry a maximum payload of 6 kilograms. In the coming months, it will be followed by further payload variants in the Standard, Food, Cleanroom and Waterproof versions.

Full function in minimum space The energy supply system of the KR AGILUS is integrated into the robot to save space. The KR 6 R900 sixx can reach points both near the robot base and also in the overhead area. Its maximum reach is 901 mm. It is not only the ideal combination of size, maneuverability and reach that enable it to adapt to confined spaces, but also the fact that it can perform its tasks as a floor, ceiling or wall-mounted robot. Utmost flexibility even in small workspaces – no problem for the KR AGILUS!

Compact controller and high flexibility Like its larger counterparts in the QUANTEC series, the KR AGILUS is operated with the universal KR C4 controller technology. With its open architecture, the KR C4 compact can control not only KUKA robots, but also external axes, for maximum flexibility, scalability, performance and openness, in minimum space.

Safe human-robot cooperation While the KR AGILUS may be small, safety is writ large. It is the only robot in its class to operate with the KUKA SafeOperation function, greatly simplifying and improving human-robot cooperation.
