KUKA Robotics unveiled the latest heavyweight addition to its line of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), the KMP 3000P, at PROMAT 2025 from March 17 – 20 at Chicago’s McCormick Place to help manufacturers increase efficiency and productivity.
Visitors at KUKA’s booth #N7307 in Hall B of the North Building experienced a live cell demonstration to meet manufacturing workforce challenges for improved production. This cell showcased the capabilities of KUKA’s new KMP 3000P AMR that transported heavy rolls to a KR QUANTEC for handling and placement.
With the capacity to transport loads up to three tons in any direction, including diagonally, the KMP 3000P’s omnidirectional drive ensures maximum flexibility in the tightest of spaces in intralogistics. Four integrated 3D cameras and two laser scanners enable a 360° view, allowing the platform to recognize obstacles and drive around them effortlessly. This increases efficiency and safety in a variety of working environments while eliminating the need for in-floor guide systems. Equipped with an inductive charging system, the KMP 3000P charges wirelessly both centrally in a station and/or at various locations within the area through inductive charging pads attached to a facility’s floor.
The transported material was handled by an AIRSKIN® equipped KR QUANTEC high payload robot that enables the robot to safely operate significantly faster than a cobot in a fenceless environment without compromising its reach, payload and reliability. The KR QUANTEC series consists of all-purpose, six-axis robots with the versatility to reliably handle a variety of production applications. The series’ streamlined design is also very adaptable to cost-effective cell planning.
As with all the company’s automation solutions, those shown at PROMAT 2025 are backed by KUKA’s expert service and support for training, complete system engineering and simulation, readily available spare parts, robot refurbishment and more. All of these features are easily accessible through the my.KUKA.com site, and KUKA maintains corporate offices and production operations, along with integration partner facilities, conveniently located throughout North America to provide responsive customer service and support.
