Tuesday 20. May 2008 - KUKA Roboter GmbH and KUKA Robotics Corporation will be exhibiting at the Society for Information Display Exhibition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, West Hall in Booth #101-8 from May 20 to 22.

KUKA Roboter GmbH and KUKA Robotics Corporation will showcase the company’s expertise in solar, semiconductor and electronics industries for assembly and material handling applications. KUKA will showcase an ultrasonic gripper manufactured by its partner Zimmerman & Schilp of Regensburg, Germany. The ultrasonic gripper can be used to handle and package completed panels, flat sheets of glass, metal and substrates of all types without ever touching the surface. It floats on a cushion of air generated by the ultrasonic vibration applied to the tool.

KUKA has a variety of products serving the cleanroom and display markets including the KR5 Sixx robot, a six-axis robot that is fast, accurate, flexible, rugged and easy to use and maintain. The KR5 Sixx robot is a compact high speed robot series for assembly and material handling applications with a .02mm accuracy with 5 kilo payload and either 650 or 850mm reach. The end of arm tool is a non-contact tool using high frequency ultrasonic vibration to create the air cushion suitable for handling glass, metal, substrates, solar panels, and more.
