Combined 6 Axis and Linear Robot Has Long Reach

更远伸程的6轴向线性机器人

Clinton Township, Michigan — May 25, 2006 – KUKA Robotics Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of industrial robots, today announced the introduction of the KUKA Jet robot, a 6 axis robot mounted on a linear unit. The new robot is designed for customers with applications that entail long reach tasks. The 6 axis robot is mounted either upside down or sideways on the linear rail depending on the application need and is available in four configurations with different reaches and working ranges.

密歇根州克林顿镇5月25日消息—全球领先的工业机器人生产商KUKA机器人公司今天宣布推出KUKA Jet 机器人，一款可安装于线性装置的6轴机器人。该新款机器人用于客户需要承担较远伸程任务的应用。该6轴机器人可以根据应用需要倒挂式或侧装式安装于直线轨上，并且有四种不同伸缩长度和工作范围的配置。

"Customers with applications where long distances need to be traversed will find the KUKA JET robot ideal," said Kevin Kozuszek, director of marketing for KUKA Robotics Corporation. "The robot combines the speed of a linear axis and the flexibility of a 6-axis robot making it ideal for handling tasks in multiple industries including injection molding, die casting, machine tool manufacturing and logistics."

KUKA机器人公司市场部主管Kevin Kozuszek表示：“那些需要长距离来回移动应用的客户将发现KUKA JET机器人是如此的理想。这款机器人结合了线轴的速度和6轴机器人的灵活性，使得它可以完美地执行多种工业任务，包括注塑成型、冲模铸造、机床生产和物流等行业。”

The KUKA JET robot’s enhanced maneuverability allows machines to be tended through narrow openings and parts precisely positioned even within the machine. It also allows parts to be withdrawn from the machine in a longitudinal direction making it possible to serve a number of machines in a row. Additionally, the installation can be configured to allow several machines to be tended by one combination. The KUKA JET robot is available in four configurations with different reaches and working ranges with payloads ranging from 30 to 60 kilograms.

KUKA JET 机器人增强了的可操作性使得其通过窄小的开放空间就可以对机器操作，并且可以精确地在机器内部安装零件。它还可以纵向地从机器收回零件，从而可以对同一排的数台机器进行提供服务。此外，一个机器人控制几台机器所需要的安装配置情况还可以视情况而定。KUKA JET机器人具有4种不同的伸程和工作范围的配置，负载量从30千克到60千克。
