Maximum productivity all along the line
On course for success with
KUKA linear units and positioners
Linear units. Maximize your productivity all the way down the line. KUKA linear
units allow you to increase workspaces significantly. Another major advantage: the
linear units are implemented as an external axis, which means that no additional
controller is required. The KUKA product range covers every payload category, every
environment and every requirement. The spectrum ranges from ceiling-mounted
units to the high-speed variant and even linear units with a protective cover.
You thus hold all the options for decisively expanding your success margin.
Positioners. The objective of every automation solution is to boost productivity and

quality. With KUKA positioners, you can achieve this from all angles – they allow
you to align workpieces quickly and precisely. Ideal for automating production oper-
ations. For this purpose, service-proven standard robotics components are used,
which can be combined to form customized solutions. The result is highly dynamic
automatic positioners with one to three axes. Choose from a diverse range of sizes
and kinematic systems with payload capacities ranging from 250 kg to 12,000 kg
to meet the requirements of the production task at hand. With KUKA you are in a
strong position to implement your automation ideas. Covered heavy-duty

�Positionally accurate Compact carriage KL 2000 The linear units from KUKA
can be extended as desired.
KUKA gantry robots can be installed in
an inverted or side-mounted position –
meaning they can be deployed flexibly.
�Flexible
Positionally accurate. Up to four robots can be operated on one linear axis.

Multiple robot positions on the linear axis allow optimal adaptation to existing
requirements and workspaces.
�Productive
Flexible. Long travel extends the work envelope by several times the reach of the
robot. The linear units are ideal for linking production lines.
Powerful. Additional version with high torque (e.g. for milling applications) and
a high-speed variant for tasks requiring extreme speed and short cycle times.
�Versatile
Versatile. Floor, ceiling and wall-mounted variants are available, as well as a cover
to provide protection from dirt during operations in harsh environments.
�Powerful Productive. Moving workpieces/tools with additional carriages, driven or

non-driven (tender carriages) helps to shorten cycle times.

perfect tool for the automation systems of today and tomorrow. Their decisive advantage:
thanks to their open architecture, they are masters of simple integration. They can
handle a wide range of programming languages and are ideally matched partners for
KUKA robots. Moreover, they can take on a huge range of tasks, be used for robots
of all payload categories and can control entire systems. All the integrated control

Making robot operation really easy.
Touch screen. Graphics support. Flexible interaction. The more diverse the robots’
abilities become, the greater the importance of intuitive user interfaces for their
operation. The KUKA smartPAD brilliantly demonstrates on a large antireflection touch

with those operator control elements that are currently required. This makes work
easier, faster, more efficient, and simply smarter all-round.
