KUKA Collaborative Robot Arms: LBR iisy Cobots

Introduction to LBR iisy

The LBR iisy cobots by KUKA are highly versatile, dextrous, intuitive to operate, and safe around humans. These benefits don't come at the cost of speed. In fact, there is the added advantage of operating at the speed of traditional industrial robots! Another noticeable benefit of these cobots is that they are designed to be easy to set up and prepare for use in a production environment.

Applications and Use Cases of LBR iisy Cobots

Due to their ease of use and programming as well as their ability to quickly integrate into existing production environments, the LBR iisy cobots are suitable for being deployed quickly across various industries and businesses including small and medium-sized businesses.

The applications that these cobots are most suitable for include pick-and-place (loading, unloading, palletizing, material handling, etc.), assembly, packaging, as well as tasks involving measurements and inspections. These cobots have low weight, high speed, and compact design that enable them to perform exceptionally well for such applications.

What Makes LBR iisy Cobots Special

In addition to the features discussed above, what makes these cobots special is their simplicity - after easy setup and preparation, the robots can be taught using manual guidance or programmed without the need for prior programming knowledge. Thus, the cobots are ready to be used swiftly and hence can be deployed for mass production as well where the manufacturing environment may change often.

Other Features and Benefits of LBR iisy Cobots

In addition to ease of use and safe collaborative operation, the LBR iisy Cobots offer other attractive benefits such as easy and fast tool changes or task changes. Additionally, these cobots are a cost-effective automation solution suitable for small and medium-sized companies. Their slim design, large working radius, high joint speed, and small footprint further enhance their appeal.

Human-Robot Collaboration: Safety First

When humans and machines work together, safety becomes paramount. Due to the use of advanced sensors, the LBR iisy Cobots are sensitive to the slightest of contact and can swiftly detect collisions. Hence, these cobots will respond immediately to provide a safe operation at all times. This safety is backed by certified collision protection. In addition, collaborative workspaces can be created for human-robot collaboration using individual intervention zones determined through risk analysis.
