6-axis robotics initiation cell

Description of the system :

The 6-axis Robotics Initiation Cell is an industrial didactic system allowing to be initiated and to improve oneself to applications and projects implementing a 6-axis industrial robot with industrial vision.

The cell is available in two sizes: 800 mm (RK10) or 1100 mm (RK20).

Technical solutions discussed :

6-axis industrial robot Kuka Agilus KR3 radius 540mm, payload 3kg

Controller and SmartPad (colour touch panel)

Secure speaker (two widths to choose from, 800 mm or 1100 mm)

Different options available :

• Kuka.Sim simulation software (15 licences)
• KukaTech Vision software with camera
• Electric pliers
• Pliers and pneumatic suction cup

Pedagogical activities :

Apprehend the different operating modes of a 6-axis industrial robot :

• "Operator setting" mode: control from the SmartPAD in slow speed with "dead man's" safety and active door safety
• Service technician" mode: control from the SmartPAD at low speed with "dead man's" safety and inactive door security
• Automatic Production" mode: automatic control at high speed
• Synchronised Automatic Production" mode: automatic control at high speed with synchronisation on events external to the cell.

Synchronised Automatic Production" mode: automatic control at high speed with synchronisation on events external to the cell.

Developing programmes

Making adjustments, settings

Carry out maintenance operations

Carrying out projects with gripping, industrial vision

Strong points :

It is a real industrial system that is totally secure and adapted to teaching with an optimal cost.

Learners are introduced to and improve their knowledge of the implementation of applications based on 6-axis industrial robotics.

6-axis robots are increasingly used in industry for their precision and high flexibility. Working with learners on these tools helps to develop skills that are highly sought after in the industry.

KUKA robots are widely used in industry (Kuka is the European leader in industrial robotics).
