KUKA Robotics Canadato demonstrate an innovative unified controlled palletizing solution, in addition to the LWR lightweight robotic technology, at PACKEX Toronto, Canada's most comprehensive resource for Packaging and Processing in booth #1113.

Demonstrating KUKA\'s response to customer demand for a unified controlled palletizing solution, KUKA will display a KR 40 PA robot. This solution is provided by select Official KUKA Robotics System Partners. KUKA Robotics is an Encompass Partner.

KUKA Robotics will also showcase the LWR 4+, a lightweight robot with 7 axis, 7kg payload capacity that weighs in at 16kg in total unit weight, demonstrating demanding assembly tasks that require the utmost precision, and a sensitive but powerful touch. It comes amazingly close to the motion sequences of the human arm. Through force-controlled surface following the operator can manually guide the robot to different positions in the workspace while controlling and teaching the LWR using the very simple user interface.

Additional KUKA robots on the PACKEX show floor will be featured by KUKA Robotics Official System Partners: CertoTech,Inc. (booth # 147), Jantz Canada (booth #671), and Programmable Control Systems, Ltd. (booth #966). When visiting the participating booths attendees will have the opportunity to enter into the KUKA Robotics Passport Daily iPad® Giveaway. For more information on the giveaway visit any of the participating partners mentioned above or visit the KUKA booth for more information and contest rules.
