Overview
KUKA ready2_arc Kemppi is a collaborative/industrial robotic arm platform developed by KUKA. KUKA ready2_arc Kemppi is an arc welding cell solution based on the Cybertech nano series and paired with Kemppi A7 series welding power sources. The ARC nano configuration offers a maximum reach of 1,420 mm or 1,620 mm, a rated payload of 8 kg, and 6 or 8 axes. The solution may include a wire feeder, with the welding torch and collision sensor listed as optional configurations. The Kemppi A7 wire feeder drive roll configuration features 4-wheel drive and 2 motors, with a wire feed speed of 0.5–25 m/min.
The application package features an EtherCAT fieldbus interface for high-speed communication. It is suitable for materials such as carbon steel and aluminum alloys, covering pipe root passes, narrow gap, and deep penetration welds. The system is designed for all typical robotic welding tasks. Core hardware specifications include: Rated payload 8.0 kg.
In terms of perception, computing, and system integration, the model is equipped with high-precision absolute encoders at joints and current/torque feedback loops. Onboard computing utilizes a real-time industrial control cabinet / ROS 2 host interface, with the technology stack covering Level L1. Development and selection teams can evaluate its motion envelope, payload limits, and secondary development adaptability in target operational scenarios using official product documentation, motion control interfaces, and simulation assets (URDF/MJCF).
