The new masters of speed
KUKA small robots for 3 kg and 10 kg payloads

With the KR AGILUS series, KUKA is presenting a comprehensive small robot

family. The performance of the KR AGILUS series is unique in its payload
category. It sets standards with five or six axes, very high speeds, short cycle
times and an integrated energy supply system. The robots master even
unusual tasks, whether installed on the floor or ceiling or, in the case of the
6-axis version, also on the wall. All KR AGILUS models are operated uniformly
with the service-proven KR C4, the universal control technology for all KUKA
robot models.

Unique in this class is the Safe Robot functionality, which radically simplifies
the efficient cooperation of humans and machines. This enables totally new
automation concepts. KR AGILUS: Unparalleled functionality and reliability
made by KUKA.

New 2016: KR 3 AGILUS. Great advances often start with small steps in manufac-
turing cells measuring only 600 600 mm. Here, the KR 3 AGILUS is in its element.
Particularly in the case of small parts and products which must be produced in a
minimum of space.

KUKA expertise, concentrated into the smallest of spaces, is setting new standards
for the 3-kg class. The lightweight robot masters various tasks with agility,
dynamism and maximum precision, leading to high flexibility in production even
when it comes to extremely narrow spaces.

High speed suitable for use in potentially
explosive environments
Low maintenance. The KUKA small robots require no change of lubricant (lifetime lu-
brication). This makes them ideally suited to continuous, uninterrupted productivity.

Optimal work envelope. With reaches of up to 1,100 mm and the ability to reach
points near to the robot base as well as in the overhead area, the KR AGILUS offers
an optimal work envelope. Additional equipment can be attached at the mounting
points on axis 3 and axis 4 (e.g. valves and I/O modules). This enables cost-effective,
space-saving cell concepts.
Optimal work envelope
Wide range of ambient conditions. Depending on the area of application, the
KR AGILUS is available in a number of different variants: splash-proof, cleanroom or
hygienic machine.

KUKA smartPAD
Making robot operation really easy

Touch screen. Graphics support. Flexible interaction. The more diverse the robots
abilities become, the greater the importance of intuitive user interfaces for their
operation. The new KUKA smartPAD brilliantly demonstrates on a large antireflection
touch screen just how simple it can be. Intelligent, interactive dialogs provide the
user with those operator control elements that are currently required. This makes
work easier, faster, more efficient, and simply smarter all-round.
