At the end of May, KUKA delivered a brand-new KUKA KR120 R2500 Quantec in RAL9002 “grey-white” to the Robotic Woodcraft project at the University for Applied Arts Vienna. The project has greatly evolved from its humble beginnings when the robot was standing lonely in a corner of the wood-construction workshop. Since then, a huge amount of knowledge has been transferred from the wood-experts to the robot-experts and the other way around, with highly engaged students now already realizing parts of their diploma thesis using the robot’s multi-axis milling capabilities.
