KUKA Linear Slide KL 100 used principally as an external axis of the robot

The linear unit is a single-axis track system and is used principally as an external axis of the robot. The robot is mounted on the carriage, allowing it to be moved along a linear axis. The carriage is moved by a drive of its own. It is controlled by the robot controller. The movement range of the carriage is limited by programmable software limit switches. It is additionally safeguarded by means of mechanical stops (buffers) on the rack side.

Up to four independently driven carriages can be operated on the linear unit. Each of these carriages can additionally be coupled to one or more tender carriages. The tender carriage does not have a drive of its own and is moved by the driven carriage. The rated travel of the carriage is defined specifically for each individual unit. The interval is 500 mm.

The linear unit is fastened to the floor or to a substructure provided by the customer.

The energy supply chain contains the supply lines for the robot and the energy and fluid supply.

1. Linear Motion Mechanism

• Precision Guideways: The KL 100 is equipped with high - precision linear guideways. These guideways ensure smooth and accurate linear motion, minimizing friction and wear. The use of high - quality materials in the guideways contributes to their long - term durability and consistent performance.
• Ball Screw Drive: A ball screw drive system is employed to convert rotational motion into linear motion. This drive mechanism offers high efficiency, low backlash, and excellent repeatability. The ball screw is precisely manufactured to meet strict tolerance requirements, enabling precise positioning of the robot along the linear axis.

2. Dimensions and Load - Carrying Capacity

• Stroke Length: The KL 100 comes in different stroke length options, allowing users to select the most suitable model based on their specific application requirements. The available stroke lengths can range from relatively short distances for compact workspaces to longer lengths for applications that require extensive reach.
• Payload Capacity: It is designed to carry a significant payload. The payload capacity varies depending on the model and configuration but is generally sufficient to support the weight of the robot end - effector and any additional tools or workpieces. This high payload capacity makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial tasks, from handling heavy components in automotive manufacturing to precise material placement in electronics assembly.

3. Integration with Robotic Systems

• Communication Protocols: The KL 100 is compatible with various communication protocols commonly used in robotic systems, such as Ethernet/IP, Profibus, and DeviceNet. This compatibility enables seamless integration with different robot controllers, allowing for real - time data exchange and coordinated motion between the robot and the linear slide.
• Synchronization Capabilities: It can be synchronized with the robot's motion to achieve complex and coordinated tasks. For example, in a welding application, the linear slide can move the welding torch along a specific path while the robot adjusts its orientation and position to ensure accurate and consistent welds. This synchronization is achieved through precise control algorithms and real - time feedback mechanisms.
