November 11-13th KUKA Robotics will show Plasma Cutting, and Welding, at FABTECH 2014 booth C-2956
FABTECH 2014
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. & ATLANTA--Visit KUKA Robotics in booth C-2956 during FABTECH North Americas largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event held at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA, to see how KUKA Robots can "Cut it & Weld it", showing how automation can bring efficiency to the metal forming process.
KUKA Robotics In-booth Demonstrations at FABTECH 2014 will include:
NEW! The Integrated Robotic Plasma Cutting
In a technology partnership with Official KUKA Robotics System Partner Arc Specialties and ESAB NA showcasing a KR 16 L8 HW. The KR 16 L8 HW will be doing live plasma cutting, showcasing the single axis head stock / tail stock design permits rotational cutting of complex parts, with pre-programmed cutting geometry with desired part dimensions requires no teaching of the robot.
NEW! Arc Welding Demonstration
In a simulated fixtureless welding demo a KR 210 R3100 F will simulate arc welding on motorcycle frame using 2 KR 5 R1400 utilizing RoboTeam cooperating motion.
NEW! KUKA KORE Official Robotic Education Portable Education Cart
KUKA Robotics introduces the new KORE Official Robotic Education cart designed to support the education markets need to make robotics a KORE part of their STEM education programs.

Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
