The KUKA SCARAs are highly precise in operation and economical in maintenance

The high efficiency of the SCARA robots makes them the perfect choice for enabling automation, even in cost-sensitive markets. The combination of minimal service requirements, high energy efficiency and extremely high availability ensures a low total cost of ownership (TCO). Fitted out with intelligent features and teamed up with the latest generation of control technology in the form of the KR C5 micro, the fast assistants perform tasks reliably and quickly. “With the KUKA SCARA, we are supplying an overall package that is so far one of a kind. It is light and streamlined and at the same time fast and powerful. Moreover, it comes at an attractive price and quickly pays for itself,” summarizes Robert Fodor.
