Sensitive joining of bevel gears in human-robot-collaboration (HRC) Operation

KUKA implements first HRC system at BMW in Dingolfing. The employees at BMW Group’s Dingolfing Plant have a new, highly responsive assistant: an LBR iiwa lightweight robot from KUKA, which primarily takes over monotonous and physically demanding tasks. Where an operator previously had to lift and install differential cases for the front-axle transmission by himself, the operator now works hand in hand with the robot assistant in a confined space – without any protective fences or additional safety equipment. Automation specialist KUKA has made it possible. For this human-robot collaboration (HRC) project, the experts designed a system which makes extremely efficient use of space through overhead installation and which can be integrated into the existing production line without having to redesign it.
