[+] DEEP REACH
[+] LIGHT
VERSATILE. The intelligent payload and reach intervals allow simple, reliable planning. KUKA also offers shelf-mounted robots covering a payload range from 16 kg to 270 kg.
LIGHT. KUKA shelf-mounted robots stand out for their low weight. They can be installed directly on machines with minimum effort, while saving space.
DEEP REACH. KUKA shelf-mounted robots are designed for an especially large downward reach, optimum access the workspace from above. Due to their low height, they require little space above the robot base.
FAST. Lightweight, KUKA shelf-mounted robots achieve high dynamic performance and very short cycle times. Enabling higher productivity and cost-effectiveness with rapid payback.
RELIABLE PLANNING. Each KUKA robot family shares an identical mounting base hole pattern. This allows different shelf-mounted robots to be used on machines of different sizes – without any additional planning measures.

performed is determined by the subject matter of the specific contract. No liability accepted for errors
or omissions.
MORE POWERFUL, SAFER, MORE FLEXIBLE, AND MORE INTELLIGENT. The KR C4 has been created for the automation of today and tomorrow. Thanks to its open architecture it is a master of simple integration. It can communicate in a wide range of programming languages and is ideally suited to the control of KUKA manipulators. It can carry out a vast range of tasks, be used for robots of all payload categories, and control entire production lines. With the KR C4 all integrated controllers, SafetyControl, RobotControl, MotionControl, and LogicControl have a joint database and infrastructure for maximum performance, scalability, and fl exibility.
The passive heat exchange system, with separate air circulation in the inner and outer zones of the controller, allows low-maintenance operation even in dusty environments. Entirely without filter mats.
Features and advantages
ALL-ROUNDER. Safety, Robot, Logic and MotionControl – the KR C4 combines everything in a single controller allowing eff ortless control of the entire system.
UNIVERSAL APPLICATION. The open architecture of the KR C4 can control not only KUKA robots but also external axes – for maximum fl exibility, scalability, performance and openness, in minimum space.
COMMUNICATION TALENT. In addition to its own robot lan-guage KRL, the KR C4 understands the language of the CNC machining world (G-code) and the language of PLCs, enabling it to communicate directly with your Siemens® or Rockwell® controller.
ROBUSTNESS. The consistent choice of durable components and well-designed cabinet ensure long-term, reliable operation, even in extreme conditions.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT. The new energy management system allows the energy consumption of the controller to be reduced by up to 95 %* in standby mode. The improved coo-ling concept, combined with a temperature-controlled fan, further reduces the power dissipation of the controller, while making operation considerably quieter.
* in standby mode and Ecomode.

Programming of grippers and weld guns via easy-to-use inline forms for many industrial applications. For rapid start-up and simple programming of arc welding applications. The complete portfolio of option packages, in combination with sensors and sequence control, enables arc welding at the highest level. A modular, time-saving and easy-to-operate programming support package for laser cutting and laser welding. Both applications can be executed using the same robot – giving maximum flexibility as the workpiece needs to be clamped only once. Enables the operation of electric motor-driven spot weld guns with the KUKA robot controller. Vari-ous additional software options allow e.g. the elimination of mechanical gun compensation and other functions. Enables user-friendly programming of dispensing applications such as bonding, seam sealing or application of support seams using inline forms on the KUKA robot controller. Coordinates and enables the high-precision interaction of a team of robots for handling a shared load or for working together on a moving workpiece. Makes it possible to exchange data with external computers via the EtherNet interface. The robot can function here both as a client and as a server. Basic technology for standardized data exchange between robots and external controllers for non-real-time information streams. Ideal for interfacing with external visualization and MES systems. Programming environment for an extremely fast Soft PLC conforming to the IEC61131 standard. Expands the functionality of the KR C4 and offers virtually unlimited openness in the programming of automation cells and applications. Runtime system of the KUKA.PLC Multiprog Soft PLC. PLC programs created with KUKA.Multiprog are run directly on the KR C4, with full access to the entire I/O system of the robot. Reading and processing of variables such as axis positions and velocity via function blocks. Allows direct commanding and positioning of the robot by external controllers (Siemens®, Rockwell®, etc.). The user thus requires no knowledge of robot programming in the KUKA-specific robot language KRL. Complete software-based CNC implementation for execution of machine tool code (G-code) directly on the robot controller. This turns the robot, with its accuracy and stiffness, into a machining center for path-supported processes. The simulation programs of KUKA.Sim allow robotic cells to be planned with true-to-life accuracy.
