KUKA KR 500 FORTEC

KUKA KR 500 FORTEC

KR 500 Fortec industrial robot powerful and efficient thanks to the advanced technology of KUKA. Has a variety of versions for different heavy duty applications. In the Machine-Tooling version it is perfect for milling and as a variant Foundry, it is ideal for the foundry industry. Is characterized by its precision in the manipulation of heavy elements, minimum maintenance and low costs.

Kuka's latest breakthrough

More powerful, safer, more flexible, and above all more intelligent. The revolutionary concept of the KR C4 provides a firm foundation for the automation of tomorrow. It reduces costs in automation for integration, maintenance and servicing. The long-term efficiency and flexibility of the systems are increased at the same time. For this reason, KUKA has developed a new ground-breaking, clearly-structured system architecture that concentrates on open and powerful data standards. In this architecture, all integrated controllers – from SafetyControl, RobotControl, and MotionControl to LogicControl and ProcessControl – have a joint database and infrastructure which they use and share intelligently.

KR C4 features

- Simple to plan, operate and maintain
- Continuation of service-proven PC-based control technologies
- Quick and easy operation thanks to continued use of familiar operator control concepts
- Expansion of the set of commands for more user-friendly path programming
- High compatibility with previous programs for the KR C2
- Safety, Robot, Logic, Motion and ProcessControl in a single control system
