ready2_pilot: Intuitive guidance of KUKA robots
All KUKA robots can now be easily and intuitively guided by hand in the workspace using the robot Navigator from Very Important Product Maschinenvertriebs GmbH (VIP). Together with KUKA, the special machine engineering expert is now offering the ready2_use package “ready2_pilot”.
Quick and easy robot programming
With the Navigator, the user can manually move any KUKA robot connected to the KR C4 controller. It is also possible to create programs quickly and easily. Pressing a button on the Navigator saves the desired movements. The software provided for these records individual points or entire motion paths.
The all-rounder KR C4.
The KR C4 controller is a pioneer for the automation of today and tomorrow. It reduces costs in integration, maintenance, and servicing. At the same time, the long-term efficiency and flexibility of the systems are increased – thanks to common, open industry standards.
The KR C4 software architecture integrates Robot Control, PLC Control, Motion Control (for example KUKA.CNC) and Safety Control. All controllers share a database and infrastructure. This makes automation simpler and more powerful – today and in the future.
Global compatibility with the KR C4
No matter where in the world high-performance control systems are required: KR C4 is the answer. The controller works reliably with different mains voltages and types, even in extreme cold, heat or humidity. It speaks 25 languages – including the major Asian ones – and meets all globally relevant ISO and US standards.
Simple operator control increases productivity
The simple operator control of the robot, without the need to know its coordinates, boosts productivity by saving time. The intuitive manual guidance also helps to avoid errors. The VIP Navigator is already in use at a number of renowned companies. Easy use and easy reteaching of positions make the Navigator for KUKA robots a unique product with high customer benefits.
