Kuka’s autonomous KMR iiwa robot combines all the benefits of the lightweight, collaborative LBR iiwa robot with a flexible, mobile platform to meet all Industry 4.0 requirements and modern production challenges. The Kuka Sunrise, a multi-functional controller for both the vehicle and robot, allows for easy operation throughout the production environment. The vehicle and robot are independently powered directly through the same Li-ion battery.
The KMR iiwa offers the latest safety functions that allow it to navigate safely and without protective fencing. The LBR iiwa is equipped with seven special, highly joint sensors in each axis that cause it to stop when touched. The mobile platform comes furnished with laser scanners that react immediately when a person or object is in its path.
The KMR iiwa is provides optimal preciseness, with positional accuracy of up to ± 5mm in the tightest of spaces, and specially developed Mecanum wheels deliver maximum agility, allowing the mobile platform to move omnidirectionally and execute 360Ëš rotations to shorten throughput times and enhance productivity.
