LBR iiwa

LBR stands for„Leichtbauroboter“

(German for lightweight robot),

iiwa for „intelligent industrial

work assistant“.

Intelligent industrial work assistant

The features – Seven axes

 LBR iiwa is designed like the human arm

 It is particularly easy to be integrated in the application
because of its small workspace requirements and
its lightweight structure
 Optimised positioning of the robot kinematic

Kinematic Redundancy

The features – Teaching by demonstration

 The human teaches, the LBR iiwa understands.

 Torque sensors in each axis enable programming by intuitive
manual guidance
 Reduced time for programming
 Easy and fast capturing of positions

 Programming of paths by demonstration

 Combination of automation and operator-
guided motion

The features – Sensitive assembly processes

 LBR iiwa offers and integrates the sensitivity for new assembly
processes
 Simple programming for joining processes
 LBR iiwa integrates the compliance in the structure instead
 Reduction of costs and cycle time in engineering,
manufacturing and commissioning
 Applications with integrated tactile search without
vision systems
 Allows imprecise feeding of components

The features - Mobility

 Due to the low weight the robot is easy to relocate and highly versatile
 Transportable without additional equipment
 Low space requirements
 Optional battery operation and installation on
mobile platforms for flexible applications

The features – Safety

 The human needs protection, the LBR iiwa provides protection

 Simplified integration into existing system concepts
 Its sensors allow direct and safe interaction with the human body
 New possibilities for cell concepts without fences or
optical safeguards
 LBR iiwa offers a configurable safety controller for
HRC applications according to valid standards
