Performance. Reinvented. The new KR CYTEC nano series

KR CYTEC nano series. Experience the strength of a new performance level.

Performance Reinvented. KUKA has redefined the performance parameters for the low payload category.

KR CYTEC nano is the first series in the new KR CYTEC robot generation which will boast the world’s

largest model range in its class in the not-too-distant future. Developed with an overarching objective:

to offer you incomparable performance and power density in the payload category from 6 to 22 kg.

At the highest level. As standard. With robot types perfectly tailored to your requirements for handling

and path applications and, from 2016 onwards, with powerful robots for the broad spectrum of generic

tasks in your production operations.

One thing is already certain: in the KR CYTEC, you will be opting for a new standard which will make

the difference. Which combines innovative conception and many years of experience in the development

of industrial robots. This is no more than what you have come to expect from KUKA as a globally active

automation company.

Extremely compact. Fast and incredibly agile with the utmost precision. The robots of the KR CYTEC nano family reflect, down to the very last detail, their calling as high-end handling robots. Also available on request with an in-line wrist with protection rating IP 67.

Payload. Reinvented.

Already now, with its most compact series – KR CYTEC nano – the new KR CYTEC generation offers you maximum versatility for more economical flexibility.

The fine payload intervals of 6, 8 and 10 kg andthe nine perfectly coordinated robot types mean that you can select precisely the robot you actually need. For maximum performance with minimum investment and energy costs. Equipping your applications with unprecedented performance for the markets of the future.

The new 50 mm hollow-shaft wrist from KUKA is the result of the fusion of many years of experience with pioneering innovations. At the same time, the diameter of the wrist has been reduced to 150.2 mm. Not only is hollow axis 6 capable of infinite rotation, the main axis motion is also reduced, allowing extremely short cycle times combined with utmost motion precision. The functional design optimizes the backward reach and enables the robot to move up very close to the workpieces. Features for maximum output and a new level of performance and quality.

The master of mobility. The new KUKA hollow wrist.

Extremely high path accuracy and speed with new controller structures. The acceleration values and the new ergonomic design with minimized disruptive contours are enough to reveal what the robots of the KR CYTEC ARC nano family were created for: continuous-path motion at the very highest level – even deep inside the workpieces.

As an entirely new development, equipped with many innovative technical details, the KR CYTEC generation convinces with the highest precision in the low payload category. With their repeatability of 0.04* mm, the robots can exploit their strengths to the full, even at high speed, offering impressive dynamic performance and optimal motion characteristics throughout the entire workspace. For constantly homogeneous manufacturing quality – at the very highest level. * Provisional value

With up to 47 % reduction in volume compared with the predecessor models, combined with greater payload capacity and reach, the KR CYTEC generation represents a quantum leap in technology. Extremely compact. Extremely light. Incredibly streamlined. Maximum performance with minimal disruptive contours. For more options and fields of application in your production.

KR CYTEC nano robots are able to work in confined spaces at and in machines or workpieces. This means that highly productive manufacturing cells can be designed and implemented more compactly. For space-saving production concepts that boost your production density and thus sustainably reduce your unit costs.

Identical footprint. As standard.All KR CYTEC robots have an identical, compact base frame. For more robot integration options and utmost flexibility in machine management.

The most streamlined in-line wrist in its payload category.Simply unique. With an interference radius of just 67 mm, the KR CYTEC nano handling robots have the smallest in-line wrist in their class. Worldwide. It enables work to be carried out in positions that are inaccessible for other robots.

Workspace. Reinvented.

Small designs, lightweight construction – but incredibly large workspace. The KR CYTEC generation proves that this is no contradiction. Despite their fine contours, the robots impress with workspaces of up to 22.97 m³ in the KR CYTEC nano family and up to 23.19 m³ in the KR CYTEC ARC nano family.

This gives you maximum freedom in production: the robots masterfully tap workspaces that were previously inaccessible. They can cover long distances, with a large workspace to the rear and a long downward reach. Combining this with their compactness and minimal disruptive contours, KR CYTEC robots are thus able to work in areas that conventional robots cannot reach.

Flexibility. Reinvented.

Flexible production has long since become normal. The new KR CYTEC generation is systematically designed to adapt flexibly to all possible production circumstances. From confined spaces to large distances – the KR CYTEC nano robots can master a wide range of different requirement profiles in any desired installation position. Ex works. On the floor, wall or ceiling, or at any other angle. Decisive factors for greater planning security in production and the implementation of cost-efficient maintenance and availability strategies.
