Arc welding cell in the Lebenshilfe workshops

The automation specialists from Obernburg am Main won the managers over with their systems. Meanwhile, four industrial robots are in operation at Lebenshilfe Limburg gGmbH – the most recent one bearing the KUKA brand. One of the customers with whom Lebenshilfe has a production contract will purchase an additional KUKA model for the workshops. Not many of the Lebenshilfe workshops have such high-tech equipment. Ultimately, it is difficult to compare their work to that taking place in other industrial enterprises: here, the orienting principles of social responsibility and employing people with an intellectual disability take precedence over economic concerns. Simple and flexible handling is required since the robot cells are operated by people with a wide variety of abilities. This is why it is important for the system to adapt to the rhythm of the human operator. And not the other way round.
