This innovation removes one of the obstacles to the automation of the loading / unloading of robot machining machines: the need to have a robotic technician for any change in production
MxAutomation is a KUKA software allowing a SINUMERIK Siemens to control a KUKA robot. Siemens installs in the SINUMERIK 840d Run MyRobot including modules mxAutomation; With these modules, robot programs can be written in PLC language directly on the PLC. The PLC modules are transferred to the robot via a Profinet network and then, in the KR C4 cabinet of the robot, translated by an interpreter mxAutomation in KUKA KRL language.
Getting Started
No robotic training is required to implement or use mxAutomation! On the Siemens side, grip is no problem and training takes only a few hours. Because the robot is managed exactly like a machining cycle. "
The robot performs basic tasks of taking and depositing parts, or even changing tools. So for the operator - and the programmer of the machine / robot pair - everything is simpler. On the other hand, the integrator in charge of implanting the robot in front of the machine tool will have to acquire a minimum of skills on SINUMERIK that he did not necessarily have.
For medium or intermediate series
SMEs are certainly companies to conquer with this type of solution. KUKA believes that the approximation of the robot and the machine tool perfectly corresponds to the production needs of medium series and intermediate series. We must also not forget the value of the solution, in the service of small recurring series, for which the recall of the manufacturing / handling program allows to quickly restart a production.
Versatility on all types of robots
KUKA offers a range of robots with a load capacity of 6 to 1300 kg, in connection with a single KR C4 bay. All these robots, as soon as they integrate the software layer mxAutomation, can benefit from the reconciliation with SINUMERIK Integrate Run MyRobot.
