Solutions for the automotive industry
The KUKA portfolio includes the entire manufacturing automation spectrum for joining and assembling vehicle bodies. From production facilities with low levels of automation to highly flexible manufacturing systems, from the manufacture of individual subassemblies to the assembly of complete bodies and add-on parts. And body production is not the end of the story. Systems for inserting windows and assembly systems for vehicle bodies and chassis (marriage) or component installation round off the product range.

Arc welding
KUKA arc welding cells are used not only for conventional steel/steel joints, but also for demanding welding tasks, such as aluminum joints, galvanized panels and applications featuring joints with gaps. No matter what is being welded, all applications have one thing in common: uncompromising process quality. KUKA has done much to ensure this, such as the KFP arc function package, developed specially for robotic arc welding, with a 4-wheel wire feeder mounted directly on the robot wrist.

Magnetarc welding
The Magnetarc welding process developed by KUKA is a pressure welding process with an arc that is moved magnetically under shielding gas. This process can be used to join hollow sections with wall thicknesses between 0.7 and 10 mm.
Suitable materials are electrically conductive and fusible materials, such as carbon steel or low-alloy steels, free-cutting steels, cast steel and malleable cast iron. This process is also ideal for joining combinations of these materials to one another.
