KMR Cybertech – Autonomous Mobile Robot by BEC Robotics | KUKA

AUTOMATED MACHINE LOADING – MOBILE, SCALABLE, AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME 

Modern manufacturing is confronted with increasing product variety, shorter cycle times, and a growing shortage of skilled workers. This increases the need for manufacturing companies to implement flexible automation solutions. In addition, there are physically demanding tasks such as lifting heavy parts or repetitive processes on machines. Automation systems such as the KMR CYBERTECH from BEC Robotics offer a powerful and scalable solution here. Based on the proven technology of the KUKA CYBERTECH robot series and the omnidirectional KUKA Omnimove platforms, the KMR CYBERTECH combines high payload, reach, and mobility, which is significantly above the performance range of many commercially available mobile robot systems.

The KMR CYBERTECH is responsible for the automated loading and unloading of machining centers, CNC machines, and manufacturing cells. It supplies raw materials, removes finished parts, and precisely stores and retrieves components. State-of-the-art sensor technology and AI-supported camera technology, coupled with on-board or stationary gripper change systems, enable the reliable processing of a wide variety of workpieces. Interfaces to systems and the control system ensure seamless integration into production processes. Manual processes such as opening and closing safety doors can also be performed by the robot. Thanks to inductive charging technology and in-process charging, continuous 24/7 operation without scheduled charging breaks is possible, for example when the robot is working in front of a machine – ideal for demanding production environments.

EFFICIENCY IN INTRALOGISTICS – EVEN WHEN SPACE IS LIMITED

With its compact design and precise SLAM navigation, the robot can perform palletizing and warehousing tasks even in confined production environments. Its load capacity of up to 22 kg and working range of up to 240 cm enable versatile applications.

24/7 AUTOMATION WITHOUT CHARGING BREAKS

Inductive charging during operation (in-process charging) enables true 24/7 use—without any fixed charging times. This significantly increases productivity.

EFFICIENT AUTOMATION
– FLEXIBLE EXPANSION

The KMR CYBERTECH can be easily integrated into new and existing production environments. By eliminating stationary conveyor technology and intermediate storage, space is saved and processes are made more efficient. Whether as a stand-alone application or in fleet operation, this scalable solution reduces costs, increases efficiency, and improves overall equipment effectiveness. With the KMR CYBERTECH, BEC Robotics offers a powerful automation solution that combines mobile robotics with industrial precision. By taking over physically demanding tasks, the robot creates the conditions for ergonomic workplace design. The system reliably automates production and logistics processes in continuous operation, relieves employees in a targeted manner, and sustainably strengthens the competitiveness of manufacturing companies—a future-proof solution for Industry 4.0.
