LBR iiwa

With the LBR iiwa, one of KUKA's lightweight cobots specialized in delicate assembly work, safety fences make way for human-robot-collaboration in the workspace.

The LBR iiwa is the world's first series-produced sensitive, and therefore HRC-compatible, robot. LBR stands for "Leichtbauroboter" (German for lightweight robot), iiwa for "intelligent industrial work assistant". With the LBR iiwa, humans and robots can work together on highly sensitive tasks in close cooperation, opening the possibility of new applications and paving the way for greater cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

When grouped with its smaller sibling, the LBR iisy running on KUKA's new operating system, iiQKA.OS, KUKA's lightweight robot portfolio can handle cobot applications from small to large and simple to complex.

Advantages

Quick reactions

Thanks to its joint torque sensors, the LBR iiwa can detect contact immediately and reduces its level of force and speed instantly. Its position and compliance control enables it to handle delicate components without creating crushing and shearing hazards.

Able to learn

You can choose from three operating modes and program the LBR iiwa via simulation: indicate the desired position and it will remember the coordinates of the path point. Stop for breaks and control it with simple touch commands.

Sensitive

The lightweight LBR iiwa with its high-performance servo control is able to detect contours quickly under force control. It establishes the correct installation position and mounts components quickly and with the utmost precision with an axis-specific torque accuracy of ±2% of the maximum torque. The LBR iiwa can also find small, delicate components in next to no time without your assistance.

Independent

The LBR iiwa's controller, KUKA Sunrise Cabinet, simplifies the quick start-up of even complex applications. Give your operator a third hand and have the LBR iiwa take care of unergonomic, monotonous tasks reliably and independently.
