The main goal was to realize the required cycle times and accuracy for pick and place applications, faster than the market benchmark with moderate price.

The unique design, inspired by the iconic KUKA cobot iiWA, makes it stand out from the rest of the market. With the explosion of food, pharma, electronics, and other related industries, the need for faster cycle times and high-precision DELTA robots has skyrocketed. DELTA SDR caters to these requirements in a functional and attractive package. The iconic and easily recognizable product appearance of DELTA SDR creates a strong brand differentiation for KUKA. It is made under high requirements – DELTA SDR Robot comes with CE, UL certificate with food oil.

The visual character and detailing of DELTA SDR are inspired by KUKA brand values. It is inspired by the iconic KUKA IIWA Cobot in combination with an aerospace turbine system (to show efficiency and speed).

DELTA SDR has a unique design compared to the market. The iconic and exciting appearance makes a positive brand statement for KUKA. Made in Aluminum and food-grade stainless steel by a variety of manufacturing processes including metal casting.

The product is equipped with an efficient and proprietary control system from KUKA

3-axis can provide it the speed, dexterity, and accuracy for pick and place operations. The product uses a very mature KUKA control system, which can be easily operated by the user. Besides realizing the required short cycle times, the robot also has a drive chain as light as possible and does not overheat under regular operating conditions. Moreover, the platform axis has been designed in a way that makes the robot competitive regarding the payload it can handle. The product delivers exceptional speed and accuracy for its price segment in the market.

The design of the product brings in a unique design language and a fresh way of looking at the product segment. It stands out from the rest of the competition by bringing in an integrated and iconic design. The product derives its VBL from KUKA’s core values.

The product has been designed with utmost consideration for efficiency, manufacturability, and reparability. The lightweight design uses less materials to achieve the same task. The high degree of reparability makes the product sustainable over the long term.
