KUKA to Showcase Educational Printing, Milling and Welding Solutions at ACTE's CareerTech VISION 2018
KUKA will demonstrate its diverse robotic educational cells aimed at providing students with a competitive edge in education and opportunities in the STEM job market
KUKA, a global supplier of intelligent automation solutions, will demonstrate its educational printing, milling and welding cells at ACTEs CareerTech VISION 2018 in San Antonio, Texas from November 28 - December 1. ACTEs CareerTech VISION 2018 provides educators, industry representatives and business leaders with professional development and networking opportunities in career and technical education.
Attendees can visit KUKAs booth #221 to view a series of demonstrations from the KUKA Robotics KORE Program, including innovative collaborations with the advanced manufacturing leader and KUKA System Partner RSI. The KUKA Robotics KORE Program provides hands-on educational robot solutions for high schools, community colleges, universities, and technical centers to further educate STEM students and teach operational skills, fundamentals and control technology programming using real robotic hardware.
There will be a team of KUKAs application experts on hand to discuss which solutions can help attendees provide students with real-world robotic printing, milling and welding education for the classroom or production floor. The solutions on display include:
KUKA KORE ready2_print Education Cell: Equipped with an automatic tool setter and easy to use operator interface, the ready2_print cell is compatible with a wide range of soft materials, including clay and wax. Each modular cell combines hands-on education with real-world, robotic printing applications to shorten the learning curve associated with the acquisition of programming and operational skills.
KUKA KORE ready2_mill Education Cell: This affordable and versatile cell lends itself equally to both the educational and manufacturing industries, delivering hands-on robotic milling training with a variety of soft materials, including wood, foam and plastic. Each turn-key cell combines a compact design with effortless mobility to deliver a flexible solution that can be quickly moved and implemented throughout your training or production environment.
ready2_ educate_KORE Welding Cart: The welding care comes complete with KUKAs KR 6 R700 AGILUS robot, Miller Electrics Auto Continuum 350 Welding Power Supply and Tregaskiss torch. Additionally, it comes with course curriculum including welding application and exercise equipment.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
