Even more flexible: KR CYBERTECH nano now available with KR C5 micro

The KR CYBERTECH nano family already is in high demand in the electronics industry, and also offers solutions for other sectors – for example, the food industry. “The demand for flexible robot solutions for the low payload category from 6 to 10 kg without a transformer is growing,” noted Markus Hollfelder-Asam, Portfolio Manager at KUKA. “With the KR C5 micro, a normal 220/230-volt socket is suitable for most target applications. This provides greater reliability and saves effort and money – for example, limiting infrastructure changes that otherwise would be necessary.”

With outstanding precision in continuous-path motion, this new generation of KR CYBERTECH nano robots masters a wide variety of challenges, including PCB assembly, painting, bonding, machining and polishing, packaging and arc welding, Until now, these robots worked with the KR C5 S-Size controller, but beginning in April 2022 they will also run on the KR C5 micro with six installation positions, making them perfectly suited to a compact cell designs. The new combination, which can be ordered immediately, also enables robot operation with no transformer.

Thanks to its streamlined design and compact connection panel, the KR CYBERTECH nano requires less floor space and works in confined cells. The KR C5 micro controller also has reduced space requirements, with a 70% smaller design, a footprint more than 50% smaller than the KR C4 compact and a weight of only 9 kg, which allows for a wide range of installation possibilities. “The KR CYBERTECH nano fits into any installation position – such as floor, ceiling and wall – and does so at any angle,” explained Hollfelder-Asam. “The controller follows suit, allowing various cabinet, rack and stand-alone installation positions – with up to six different installation positions possible with the KR C5 micro.”
