Press release submitted on behalf of KUKA.
KUKA, Shelby Township, Michigan, now offers a mobile platform that is particularly suitable for confined production environments: the KMP 600P. As one of the world’s leading specialists for automation solutions, KUKA is expanding its portfolio in the field of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) with an attractive option for payloads of up to 600 kilograms.
The most compact platform in KUKA’s high-performance P-series to date, the KMP 600P has an excellent price-performance ratio and is fitting for companies of all industries that want to make their production or intralogistics more efficient. Due to differential drive technology, the platform can not only move forwards and backwards, but can also turn on the spot and take curves with a defined radius. This makes it ideal for applications where space is limited. It can be used not only for efficient material supply from warehouses, stations, assembly lines or preassembly lines, but also for process linking or reliable point-to-point transports.
“With the KMP 600P, we are expanding our product range with a compact and cost-efficient platform,” says Julian Stockschlaeder, Head of AMR Business Development at KUKA. “It adds a further component to our portfolio on KUKA’s path to becoming a big player and scaling up our product business in the AMR market.”
The KMP 600P is VDA 5050-compatible and can therefore be easily and quickly integrated into various agnostic fleet management systems. Inductive charging enables 24/7 operation and extends battery life. With its modular design, all components are easily accessible and can be replaced quickly and cost-efficiently.
Because of its user-friendly KUKA.AMR Fleet software, commissioning of the KMP 600P is effortless and does not require any programming knowledge. The drag-and-drop feature and the extensive function library enable rapid workflow optimization, which also saves time and resources.
