The KL 4000 stands out due to the compact design of the carriage. An optimized motor and gear unit arrangement, the effective travel is increased by 0.4 meters compared to the KL 1500-3. The KL 4000 also enables simple and flexible planning, as the robots of the KR QUANTEC and KR FORTEC series can both be fastened on the same carriage. For even greater flexibility, up to four carriages can be operated on the KL 4000 at the same time.

Features:

Simple planning
The KL 4000 is equipped with identical mounting bases for KR QUANTEC and KR FORTEC robots. This reduces the number of required anchor points for the mounting base by up to 40 percent compared to the KL 1500. Both robots can be fastened on the same carriage thanks to the identical hole patterns.

Optimized installation
An innovative mounting base concept in which the mounting base is fastened by means of a flexible bolt-on system. Installing the KL 4000 does not require welding work. This saves time during installation. Furthermore, the axis can be readjusted at any time.

Reduced floor space requirement
The cable carrier is routed internally for a travel of up to 8.4 meters – and can be used for up to two carriages. This reduces the footprint of the linear unit. At the same time, the KL 4000 reaches a length of 31.5 meters with a travel of 30.4 meters – thereby enabling a large workspace.

Ease of servicing
The motors and gear units are arranged in such a way that they can be exchanged without having to remove the robot. The same applies to the rollers, which can be exchanged quickly and easily in different positions of the KL 4000. The flexibly adjustable backlash and the optional permanent lubrication unit ensure maximum reliability.

The KUKA linear unit KL 100 is a self-contained, one-axis linear unit mounted on the floor, ceiling or wall. It is operated as the external axis of a robot and is thus controlled by the corresponding robot controller. Key features of linear unit KL 100: For KR AGILUS series robotsSuitable for all KR AGILUS series robotsUp to 4 robots on one linear axis, mounted in different basic robot positions Robots can be installed in up to 8 different basic positions and make use of an additional tender carriage for application-specific equipment.Mirrored design Use of mirrored motion programs.FEM-optimizedHigh torsional stiffness on the basis of FEM analysis, also enabling use in high-accuracy continuous-path applications.Integrated control Control of the linear unit is integrated as a mathematically coupled axis in the robot controller, dispensing with the need for an additional controller.Internally installed energy supply chain for floor-mounted versionThe energy supply chain can be installed internally in a highly compact manner up to a rated travel of 5500 mm.
