Kuka delivers 5,000 robots to BMW
Kuka has received a major order from BMW: 5,000 of the manufacturer's robots will be used in production at international locations.
Kukaand the Munich-based automotive group BMW have signed a framework agreement for the delivery of around 5,000 robots for new production lines and plants. In the coming years, Kuka industrial robots will be used at BMW production sites worldwide in the manufacture of current and future model generations. The various robot models will be used primarily in body construction and other technologies.
The scope of delivery also includes other products from the portfolio, such as Kuka linear units. These linear units significantly increase the robot's workspace. They are controlled by the same controller as the robot. This means that they can be integrated into the workflow without additional equipment. Energy supply packages developed by Kuka are also included in the scope of delivery. as
