PRODUCTION MACHINES
KUKA offers a range of production machines which allow you to integrate standardized systems and components into customized production processes. Depending on the specific requirements, the automation components and function packages can be implemented in your production system either directly or with minor modifications.
Whether you require equipment for a modern and efficient foundry or machines for joining a wide variety of material combinations – all these components have one thing in common: they are tried-and-tested products which are cost-effective and easy to integrate.
Cooling basins for foundries
Cooling basins for foundries
KUKA has developed a new immersion cooling basin series for foundries as a response to increasing production requirements and energy costs. The service-proven quality of the former company Reis Robotics remains unchanged, and is refined and optimized on a continuous basis.
Immersion cooling basins: “autonomous” and “conventional”
In the “autonomous” cooling basin, thermal plates dissipate the thermal energy collected in the basin. These water-to-water heat exchangers are directly connected to the cooling circuit of the foundry and are operated without electrical connections or additional media.
If a higher cooling capacity is required, “conventional” immersion cooling basins with a separate heat exchanger can always be used.
Magnetarc welding machines
Magnetarc welding machines
Magnetarc welding machines from KUKA are used by numerous automotive manufacturers as well as by suppliers in the metal industry. They are characterized by their absolutely exact positioning accuracy during the welding operation and the permanently high resilience of the components.
Advantages of KUKA Magnetarc welding machines
- Leading by experience: KUKA not only builds the machines, but is also a practical user of Magnetarc technology as a contract manufacturer. This enables important findings to be directly incorporated into the development of new machines and processes.
- Maximum cost reduction: the state-of-the-art Magnetarc welding processes make it possible to limit use of expensive material to those points that are relevant for the component.
- Maximum weld quality: opt for a production process in which every component is validated.
- Maximum flexibility: whether a single-head, double-head or vertical machine. We offer you the ideal solution for every component.
- Component optimization: the mobility industry requires solutions for weight reduction. Welding paves the way for the mobility of the future.
- Maximum ergonomics: the use of intuitive touchscreen operation and the ergonomically designed working area make work faster and more effective.
- Wide variety of material combinations: the Magnetarc welding machine enables the joining of challenging material combinations.
