AIRSKIN for KUKA Agilus

AIRSKIN is a pressure-sensitive safety skin that transforms a KUKA Agilus industrial robot into a collaborative robot. The robot is stopped immediately on contact with the skin. By combining the soft skin with a high-performance industrial robot, both a long reach and proven robustness and precision are achieved. At the same time, it enables collaborative operation and thus offers possibilities for fenceless automation.

AIRSKIN is available for the entire product line of KUKA Agilus robots. It allows fenceless workflows with speeds of up to 2 m/s in free space. This eliminates the need for large protective fences, which frees up valuable floor space and can increase the productivity of the system.

Without disruptive fences, material flows can be quickly diverted and the robots can flexibly switch to new tasks. This is particularly advantageous in production environments that are subject to constant change.
