Freedom in operation
  1. Home
  2. Ι Industries

We have been developing and producing operating units for KUKA robots - the smartPADs - for over 20 years. More than 250,000 of these devices are currently in use worldwide. The current version is the smartPAD 2.0. It is used to teach and operate the robot. For safety reasons, it is connected to the robot by cable. RAFI provided support during the development phase and realized the industrialization.



Customer: KUKA
Product: smartPAD
Industry: Robotics and automation
Function: Handheld for robot control

SCOPE OF SERVICE

INTUITIVE INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY

The handheld control unit is ergonomic to hold. The robot can therefore be controlled intuitively and safely with the RAFI command device. The 8.4" touchscreen provides an optimum overview, the iMX6 processor for real-time data transfer and the RAFI emergency stop for maximum safety if a machine stop is required.
