COMAU & KEBA – the perfect combination.

KEBA offers KeMotion which is a complete solution for robot and machine automation. PLC, motion, robotics, drive technology, safety technology and HMI are all combined in a compact system.

This is the ideal basis for implementing all automation tasks on a single common hardware and software platform.  The Comau robotic demo cell features a Comau Rebel-S robot, a 4-axis SCARA robot that is available in 5 different models with a payload of 6kg and 3 different reaches. 

These robots can be mounted in a variety of positions and they utilize spacers - a simple, yet innovative solution that extends the robot’s reach.  At this event, the Rebel-S will be demonstrating a pick & place operation, showing its compactness and flexibility.

Benefit from the perfect combination between COMAU and KEBA and enjoy all the advantages!

The KeTop T150 has a capacitive touchscreen that can be operated as a true multi-touch and thereby scores with its intuitive usability, maximum ergonomics and best user experience.
