History

2024: Production of an industrial robot that does not need to be programmed

In mid-October 2024, Hurco and Kawasaki Robotics announced the creation of an industrial robotic system for servicing racks, which can be used on a "turn on and work" basis. The new industrial robot does not require pre-programming.

In early August 2024, Hurco and Kawasaki Robotics announced a cooperation agreement. It aims to combine Hurco's extensive expertise in CNC machines (numerical software control) and Kawasaki Robotics expertise in industrial robotics. The parties will carry out joint research and development work. Partners intend to provide customers with affordable and practical automation solutions with the ability to use industrial robotics without the need to hire an integrator or learn complex robot programming.

We are pleased to announce a partnership with Hurco. Combining our strengths, we contribute to the development of mechanical workshops, where operators can focus on difficult tasks, and robots will perform tedious and monotonous operations, says Kawasaki Robotics President Seiji Amazawa.

The first modular system, created as part of a collaboration between Hurco and Kawasaki Robotics, is based on the industrial robot Kawasaki RS013N. It is designed for a wide range of tasks, including assembly, machine maintenance, material movement, machining, filler distribution, etc. This 6-axis robot has a maximum carrying capacity of 13 kg. The range is 1460 mm. Hurco Job Manager software with a user-friendly interface is used to interact with the system.^[1]
