New Products
With an overall volume of only 16 liters and weighing just 9 kg, the KR C5 micro, allows users to mount the controller horizontally or vertically in a wall mounted/bookshelf orientation or stack multiple units on top of each other, or with an existing standard 19” rack mount cabinet.
The KR C5 micro operates on 220V single-phase power and comes equipped with the latest KUKA Sys- tem Software (KSS), version 8.7, that gives users the ability to easily migrate programs from their existing KR C4 controllers under KSS 8.6 over to the new KR C5 micro. This capability eliminates the need to rewrite exist- ing programs. Available software tech packages for the new controller make particular processes smooth and easy, including dispensing, laser applica- tions, gripper control and more.
Accessories for the KR C5 micro include power cables, external battery box, all necessary plugs, mounting brackets and, as optional, removable SSD card and 19” rail mounting frame. For additional flexibility in battery backup, KUKA’s options allow for the use of either a KUKA battery or users can supply their own uninterruptable power source.
New Compact Rotary En-
coder Made for Robots
—HEIDENHAIN
With its small dimensions and high reliability, HEIDENHAIN’s new KCI/KBI 1300 series of inductive rotary encoders are made specifically to support compact servomotors for collaborative and service robots.
Each lightweight KCI 1319 / KBI 1335 encoder includes a 25 mm hol- low shaft and inductive scanning technology that makes it insensitive to contamination and magnetic fields. The encoder communicates using the high speed EnDat 2.2 interface which also allows for additional information, such as temperature or diagnostics, to
be communicated as well.
In structure, these rotary encoder
kits consist of a scanning unit and a ro- tor. The rotary encoder can be offered in two different versions. One variant consists of a graduated disk that is di- rectly screwed onto the mating shaft; the other variant is a disk/hub assembly that is press-fit onto the mating shaft.
