KUKA Robotics will showcase its advanced automation solutions and technology at the Advanced Design & Manufacturing Expo (ADM) 2025 event, hosted from October 21 to 23 at the Toronto Congress Centre in Toronto, Canada. In booth #1401, the company will be displaying its innovative automation through live demonstrations with Canadian-based KUKA System Partners DGT Solutions and OptiMach.
The high-performance, ultra-compact KR 6 R500 Z200-2 SCARA, capable of cycle times of less than 0.36 seconds, caps small spray bottles. With a maximum payload of 6kg and a 500mm reach, the four-axis KR SCARA has a serial mechanism with rotational joints in the first two axes, and the remaining axes are combined to allow rotation and linear movement in the Z-axis. The KR SCARA industrial robots come in a variety of payloads, reaches, and Z-axis strokes and are also available in an HO variant for safe integration in food and beverage applications.
DGT Solutions will configure the bottle capping cell using the intuitive KUKA.WorkVisual engineering suite that provides offline development, online diagnosis, and maintenance capabilities for every step of commissioning. Program code is checked for logic in the background, catching errors early and enabling more efficient project implementation.
Established in 2003, KUKA System Partner DGT Solutions has been providing robotic automation equipment and adaptable processing, packaging, liquid filling, and palletizing machines to customers across multiple industries for more than 20 years. The company specializes in delivering solutions that are tailored to customers’ precise specifications.
The second demonstration, presented with KUKA System Partner OptiMach, will highlight smart welding using a KUKA KR10 R1440-2 enhanced with real-time vision and artificial intelligence (AI), combined with virtual scanning for analyzing parts and automatically adjusting welding paths. The system requires no coding, programming, or CAD drawing, making it a plug-and-play industrial robotic cell accessible to all skill levels. In addition, it executes welding tasks automatically when given specific parameters, regardless of the relative positioning of the parts.
In addition to live demonstrations, visitors to KUKA’s booth will see a stationary autonomous mobile robot (AMR) on display.
As with all the company’s automation solutions, those shown at ADM 2025 are backed by KUKA’s expert service and support for training, complete system engineering and simulation, readily available spare parts, robot refurbishment, and more.
