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 Pro. It is used to teach and operate the robot. For safety reasons, it is connected to the robot by cable. RAFI has completed industrialization and now also acts as a development partner throughout the entire life cycle.
Customer: KUKA
Product: smartPAD Pro
Industry: Robotics and automation
Function: Handheld for robot control
The handheld control unit is ergonomic to hold. The robot can therefore be controlled intuitively and safely with the RAFI command device. The 10.1" touchscreen provides an optimum overview, the iMX8 processor for real-time data transfer and the RAFI emergency stop for maximum safety if a machine stop is required.
