The production of highly sensitive parts and components requires compliance with very strict standards for indoor climate control, cleanliness and functionality in the manufacturing process. The KUKA cleanroom robots fit perfectly in these particle-free environments – and with the KR AGILUS CR, the KUKA protfolio now offers a compact, agile and fast robot for low payloads.

As the name suggests, a high value is placed on cleanliness in a cleanroom. It is designed in such a manner that the number of particles brought into or generated in the room can be reduced to a minimum. In addition to air cleanliness, suitable working clothes, special equipment and tools as well as corresponding technology are required to ensure compliance with the specified cleanliness class. With intelligent automation concepts and a unique portfolio of cleanroom robots, KUKA ensures the stable maintainance of these high quality standards.

The KR AGILUS CR has all the proven features of the KR AGILUS range of small robots: speed, extreme agility in confined spaces, short cycle times and maximum precision. KUKA has optimized this all-purpose robot especially for cleanroom requirements. It can now also be used for automation tasks in the electrical industry, plastics industry, as well as the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors. 

Thanks to its internal lines and energy supply systems, the KUKA KR AGILUS CR is an excellent choice for production in technical cleanroom environments. Special surface treatments provide high resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and release almost no particles into the cleanroom. Optimized joints and seals also prevent abrasion from becoming a problem.

Certified cleanroom suitability

KUKA has been collaborating intensively with the Fraunhofer Institute since 2002. At the institute, robots are tested and certified for an air cleanliness class according to ISO 14644-1. The KR6 R900 sixx CR meets the requirements for cleanroom category 2 (ISO 14644-1).

The KR AGILUS CR stands for maximum performance and minimal particle emission. For automation tasks in technical or medical cleanrooms, each of the six-axis small robots is already a convincing solution.
