Production-Enhancing Linear Unit
December 1, 2023
KUKA's self-contained, floor-mounted KL 4000 linear unit extends robot work envelopes with an exterior axis that provides translational motion of up to 31.5 m in overall length. With a payload capacity of up to 4,000 kg, the KL 4000 consists of two modular beam elements with an optimized motor and gear unit arrangement and an internally routed cable carrier that reduce unit footprint.
A flexible bolt-on mounting system allows the KL 4000 to be installed without welding, which saves time and permits axis readjustment at any time. The KL 4000 also enables simple and flexible planning, as the robots of the KR QUANTEC and KR FORTEC series can both be fastened on the same carriage. For even greater flexibility, up to four carriages can be operated on the KL 4000 at the same time.
KUKA linear units use the same controller as that of the robot and add an additional axis to seamlessly integrate into the work sequence without the need for additional equipment. Linear units accommodate up to four robots and are available in various sizes and payload categories.
