About us

KUKA Robotics offers a comprehensive range of highly modular robots, covering all common payload categories, from 3kg to 1,000kg. KUKA robots are designed to meet all of today’s industrial automation requirements, such as minimized space, shorter cycle times and maximum availability in order to provide top process efficiency and low operating costs. Designed and built at its Augsburg HQ in Germany, and featuring the latest technology, KUKA robots are the highest quality, fastest, strongest, and most precise available on the market.

To enjoy continued economic success, companies must anticipate and respond to changing industry dynamics. Between robotics in the workplace, to digitalisation in manufacturing and the automation economy, the flexibility to adopt and adapt to new technologies gives industrial companies, from SMEs to large corporate firms, room for continued growth. As pioneers of intelligent manufacturing technologies, KUKA provides customised automation solutions, from industrial robots to complete production lines that support operational longevity and future proof the manufacturing landscape of tomorrow.

Over two thirds of the KUKA robots installed in the field use its open architecture PC-based controller, making KUKA the number one PC-controlled robot manufacturer in the world. KUKA controllers are also available for integration with other components within automation systems. Other products include AMRs, Digital Services, iiQoT Remote Monitoring, KUKA SIM simulation software, networking hardware and a variety of dress packs.

In addition, KUKA’s System Partners - experts in their respective industries - offer key technologies that transform the KUKA robot into an application-specific solution. With offices in Wednesbury UK, and Dundalk in Ireland, KUKA's expertise spans multiple locations and industry sectors. The advanced KUKA College enables fast learning through flexible training programmes that simulate a variety of real-world applications. Plus, KUKA Robotics offers a 24-hour customer service hotline, as well as a range of engineering support services.

Sensors and Machine Vision

KUKA _3D Perception sensors, with an integrated 3D stereo camera system from KUKA, enables 3D perception in real-time and allows both 3D measurement and positioning in space. By so doing, it turns the concept of spatial orientation and machine vision into a reality. The KUKA_3D Perception sensor makes it possible to perceive unstructured environments precisely and in real-time, and to position objects accurately in space using various kinematic systems. It is the first 3D sensor in the world to endow robots and other systems with such capabilities in this manner. The upshot of this sophisticated solution: your robot can sense its position and orientation in the space with millimeter accuracy and perform tasks even more quickly and efficiently.
