High-quality ladder frames at Gestamp thanks to #KUKA Bielefeld-based forming and chassis specialist #Gestamp produces ladder frames for the VW plant in Hanover thanks to a gas-shielded welding system from #KUKA. The ladder frame as the centrepiece between the body and chassis guarantees the necessary stability that the #VW Amarok needs to ensure safe off-road driving. This requires the installation of well over 200 individual steel parts. The tight deadline and space restrictions also posed challenges during planning. The system expertise of KUKA enabled Gestamp to cope with the increasing demand for the VW Amarok while ensuring the highest product quality. This is now achieved with the help of 14 largely standardised welding stations, each with a component insertion station and two fixtures to produce the sub-assemblies of the ladder frame. - Professional #project management with creative solutions from KUKA ensured the optimum #solution for Gestamp.

KUKA focuses on sustainable plant engineering When it comes to the energy consumption of a system, every single component is important in order to implement #energy efficiency and #sustainability in industry. #KUKA is working on comprehensive and innovative solutions to make plant engineering green: Planning and project planning is the first step towards efficiency: the more optimised the cycle times - the better the location of the robot, the lower the energy consumption, for example with short robot travel distances. Optimised gear components and efficient motors in KUKA robots form a compact mechanical structure to save weight. Existing systems can also be made energy-efficient by analysing and optimising the robot paths retrospectively. In addition, the switch from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) operation offers enormous potential in industrial production. Not only the saving of copper, but also the fact that braking energy can be fed back into the power grid is a huge advantage. #KUKA is actively committed to sustainability and is constantly working to improve energy efficiency in robotics and plant engineering.

Forward-looking operator model with KUKA Toledo Production Operations (KTPO) Efficient production of high volumes and different types and variants on one and the same production line became a reality thanks to KTPO with the body-in-white plant for Jeep® Wrangler. To achieve this, #KUKA linked the plant's 259 #industrial robots and 60,000 other devices with powerful back-end monitoring systems. Jeep® Wrangler bodies as a model for success The #Jeep® Wrangler is considered a model of success due to the effortless increase in production figures and demand. Thanks to an intelligent control system, KPTO is able to reliably deliver top-quality bodies. It is no coincidence that the line has been one of the most efficient body-in-white lines in the American automotive industry for years and one of the pioneers of Industry 4.0. KTPO impressively demonstrates on a daily basis that KUKA operates a body-in-white production line that fulfils the highest demands of the automotive industry in terms of #quality and #efficiency and the requirements of Industry 4.0.

How does KUKA's Cobot LBR Med relate to Hair Loss Awareness Month?   Premature hair loss can have a significant impact on a person's well-being and life. That is why August has been declared Hair Loss Awareness Month. A good reason to highlight our partner Venus Concept. With the ARTAS iX ™ based on the LBR Med, the company has developed an innovative solution that combines minimally invasive hair removal with subsequent transplantation. All with the support of the LBR Med. Because hair transplantation involves removing thousands of individual hair follicles from the back of the head and placing them in the desired areas, precision and exact repeatability are required. The LBR Med is therefore ideally suited to this medical application.   Find out more about the LBR Med 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPwvscy2   #KUKA #KUKArobotics #robotics #medtech #medicalrobotics #LBRMed #ARTASiX #VenusConcept
