Kuka Robotics, a leading global manufacturer of industrial robots, has announced its new graphical user interface for programming 6 Axis plastics automation applications. The easy to use window based GUI will be used to program and control 6 axis robots in plastics and injection molding applications including demolding and deburring. The new Kuka GUI named Kuka Smart GUI Plastics Software Package is the only available interface that provides the same simplified programming capability currently used in traditional linear robotic applications.
'With this new user friendly interface plastics and injection molding customers can reap the benefits 6 axis robots without in-depth programming knowledge that is typically perceived,' said Kevin Kozuszek, director of marketing for Kuka Robotics.
'Customers can subsequently be more productive and flexible in their manufacturing processes by using the inherently flexible 6 axis robots in place of linear mechanisms'; With the Kuka Smart GUI software customers follow graphic sequences on the computer screen to select the required robot commands.
