Furthermore, depending on the specific requirements of the customer, the optimum small robot from the KR AGILUS series can be flexibly operated in the cell. The robots of the KR AGILUS series are systematically designed for particularly high working speeds. The KR 6 R700 sixx integrated into the mini robotic cell at Br\u00fcninghaus &amp; Drissner, for example, has a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg and a reach of approximately 706 mm. The sliding doors of the WTG 1200 can optionally be opened either automatically or manually before a worker loads the workpieces into the welding fixture. Once the door has closed, the robot starts its welding tasks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KUKA KR 6 R700 SIXX SMALL ROBOT ACHIEVES ALMOST 50% BOOST IN PRODUCTIVITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt our plant, the WTG 1200 works reliably in 3-shift operation,\u201d explains Markus Nickolai, Head of Production at Br\u00fcninghaus &amp; Drissner. With great success: the mini robotic cell has resulted in significant productivity gains of up to 50 percent, as the operator is now able to prepare the next workpieces while automatic production is in progress. That is not all, however: thanks to the repeatability of the small robot, the quality of the weld seams has also improved noticeably. It is therefore no surprise that Paul von der Bank GmbH is already working on the next mini-cell generation with KUKA robots for its customers. The WTG 1500 will then have an external axis for turning the welding fixture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mini robotic cell developed by integrator Paul von der Bank GmbH is in operation at Br\u00fcninghaus &amp; Drissner in Hilden.
