After getting acquainted with the world’s first creepiest robot CB2, today let’s peak into the German industrial robot manufacturer KUKA Robotics’ world’s largest and strongest robot – KUKA KR 1000 titan 6-axis robot. This latest robot is equipped with nine motors to generate mid-sized car-like power and can lift up to 1000kg. By keeping in view its reach ability of 3.2 meters and its ability to withstand a static torque of 60,000 newton meters (Nm), this stout robot is an ideal machine to cover distance of up to 6.5 m and helps to pick objects such as engine blocks, stone, glass, steel sections, components for ships and aircraft, marble blocks and precast concrete parts. It is made of robust steel base frame and features a new drive concept. While the Axes 1 and 3 have a single gear unit for two motors whereas, Axis 2, gets its power from two motors that have their own respective gear unit. According to Stuart Shepherd, president of KUKA Robotics Corporation: This new robot can be implemented in applications which until now required at least 2 robots, lift stations or other lifting equipment thus saving valuable floor space and increasing efficiency. Its payload capacity gives production planners the speed and dynamics they previously only dreamed of. Via: Gizmag
