For programming, the LBR iiwa makes consistent use of the possibilities offered by Java technology. Its strengths: worldwide distribution, high recognition level and rapid expandability by means of external libraries, some of which are available as free, open-source software. With the LBR iiwa, companies acquire tangibly greater flexibility for the planning and implementation of their automation processes.
The surroundings change. The performance remains the same.
A workpiece is not accurately positioned in the magazine; a sleeve is not accurately centered on a shaft. With its integrated sensors, the LBR iiwa can nonetheless pick them up and assemble them correctly without the need for expensive peripheral equipment. During assembly, unlike with position-controlled robots, a force can be applied in order to fit workpieces as if by feel and the correct fit can be monitored by means of the resistance and the robot position.
