What KUKA Robots Do in Your Facility

📦

Palletizing & Depalletizing

Replace 3–5 manual palletizers per shift. KUKA palletizing robots run 24/7 at 1,000–1,500 cases/hour with consistent stack quality and zero fatigue. Cold-chain rated (-30°C) and food-grade HO variants for NZ dairy and meat facilities.

⚙️

Machine Tending & CNC Loading

Automate the loading and unloading of CNC machines, injection moulding machines and presses. KUKA AMRs supply multiple machines autonomously, eliminating idle time and enabling 24/7 production without additional headcount.

🔧

Welding Automation

KUKA arc welding robots deliver consistent weld quality impossible to achieve manually — with integrated seam tracking, torch cleaning and wire management. Suitable for structural steel, agricultural equipment and food processing machinery.

🎯

Vision-Guided Pick & Place

Vision-guided KUKA robots pick randomly oriented products from conveyors — fresh produce, meat cuts, bakery items — and place them precisely into packaging or trays. Handles variable product sizes without reprogramming.

❄️

Cold Chain & Frozen Food Handling

KUKA cold-rated robot variants operate reliably at temperatures down to -30°C — eliminating the need for workers in sub-zero environments. Stainless steel construction and food-grade NSF H1 oil for direct food contact applications.
