KUKA ready2_assemble contains optimally matched components which facilitate the implementation of an automated assembly application.
KUKA ready2_assemble is a component package from the flexFELLOW series. All necessary hardware components for your assembly tasks from the robot through to the gripper are included in this package and directly ready for use.
The strain on your employees is reduced since they no longer have to work in a strict cycle time. In addition the robot takes over the assembly of ergonomically demanding components, while your employees can perform other tasks in parallel. Safety-oriented functions and the sensitivity of the robot also allow you to carry out assembly activities in human-robot collaboration – HRC for short. Because of its sensitivity the robot reacts to any contact. This means the human operator can control the robot with merely a gesture.
You improve the quality of your products significantly – for instance by sensitive joining. In a transmission assembly operation, for example, the LBR iiwa ensures that no gear wheels are damaged. The same applies to the edges of the teeth, which react with extreme sensitivity to any contact. Thus the product quality of your assembly processes remains constant.
The ready2_assemble allows you to integrate automation solutions into your existing systems without additional sensors. You therefore benefit from a space-saving solution with shorter cycle times. Even if inexact components are presented, your assembly partner maintains process reliability.
The following components of the package can contribute to your entirely individual overall solution: the LBR iiwa, the mobile flexFELLOW platform and the right end effector for your needs. In the following section you will find all the details of the individual products.
Within the package for assembly processes you require our HRC-capable LBR grippers as the appropriate end effectors.
All grippers are designed so that they pose no injury risk to people. The rounded design with no sharp edges is an important factor for injury prevention.
Every gripper has a low mass and can optionally be provided with gripping force limitation.
Find out more about our gripper portfolio with grippers that are optimally configured for your assembly and joining processes in HRC.
The LBR iiwa is also included in the ready2_assemble package. It is HRC-capable and permits interactive working between human and machine – without a safety fence and with maximum safety for the person. In addition the LBR iiwa allows for a change in the layout of the workplace.

The mobile flexFELLOW robot unit has a location-flexible platform as its base unit. The LBR iiwa is mounted on this carrier and can be equipped individually with components from our ready2_assemble package. You combine the right end effector for your needs with the mobile platform – creating a complete, tailor-made solution at the site of operation.
The components of the flexFELLOW are:
Depending on the application, you have a choice between two height variants. Find out more about the concept of the KUKA flexFELLOW series and the combination options available.
The KUKA ready2_assemble package can be further expanded to suit your requirements.
Further application-specific components and various supply connections can be installed. Please just contact us.
