KUKA standard positioners

Compact in design and modular in structure: KUKA standard positioners can be flexibly tailored to the individual requirements of our customers.

KUKA standard positioners – efficient and process-reliable

You benefit from the entire KUKA portfolio from a single source – robot, linear unit and positioner are perfectly coordinated and can be operated together with no additional effort.

KUKA standard positioners offer you the following advantages:

Highly dynamic drives with maximum torque ensure extremely short cycle times.
The use of proven robotic components, such as gear units and motors, ensures high availability and reliability as well as consistently high quality, even after prolonged use.
The use of standardized products for interfaces and structures makes integration into systems or cells quick and easy.
Thanks to the control technology from KUKA, they are easy to program and to operate.
Utmost precision and positioning accuracy ensure the highest manufacturing and production quality.

KUKA positioners are thus ideal for all automation applications in which optimal workpiece alignment is a precondition for reliable production and maximum productivity – such as arc welding, spot welding or metalworking.
