As a manufacturing extension for existing automated systems, the Kuka flexibleCube welding cell represents a first step towards automation. As such, it can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the manufacturing process. The cell is characterised by optimally adjusted components, the use of the latest robot control and welding technologies, as well as tried and tested standards from the area of inert-gas welding. The operating and visualising software, which is fully integrated into the robot control, makes the welding cell easy to use. With its modular design and wide variety of automation options, the system enables users to dynamically react to changes in the manufacturing environment.
