KUKA MFC2 Multi-Functional Interface Module for KRC4 Robot Control System

Description

• • Environmental Parameters
    • Anti-interference Performance: It is equipped with a built-in EMC filtering function that can effectively suppress electromagnetic interference. This enables the sensitive electronic components inside the KRC4 controller to receive clean and stable power supply even in electrically noisy industrial environments.
    • Operating Adaptability: It can maintain stable performance in the common temperature range of industrial workshops, and its structural and component selection can resist the impact of general industrial dust and vibration on its operation.
• Function Features
  • Integrated Multi-functional Design: It integrates multiple key functions into one unit without the need for separate configuration of multiple independent modules for power filtering, safety signal processing and communication. This simplifies the internal structure of the KRC4 control cabinet, reduces wiring complexity and lowers the probability of system faults caused by loose connections between multiple modules.
  • Reliable Safety Signal Handling: It is equipped with certified safety interfaces that are dedicated to processing signals from emergency stop buttons, safety gates and enabling devices. It achieves effective isolation of safety signals to ensure that safety-related commands are transmitted accurately and executed immediately, which maximizes the safety of robot operation and protects the safety of on-site operators and equipment.
  • Strong Anti-interference Capability: The built-in EMC filtering function can filter out interference signals in the industrial power supply and surrounding electromagnetic environment. It ensures the stable operation of the KRC4 controller in harsh electromagnetic environments such as automotive welding workshops and stamping lines where electrical noise is serious.
  • Seamless System Integration: With built-in PROFIBUS and PROFINET connectivity, it can quickly connect with upper-level automation systems and third-party industrial equipment. It realizes seamless integration of KUKA robots into the overall factory automation system without extensive modification of the original production line control architecture.
  • Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities: It is equipped with comprehensive diagnostic functions that can monitor its own operating status in real time, including power supply stability, signal transmission status and communication link connectivity. When an abnormal situation occurs, it can promptly feed back fault information to the KRC4 controller, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to locate and solve problems quickly.
• Application Scenarios
  • Automotive Manufacturing Industry: It is widely used in KUKA robot systems for automobile body welding, gluing and handling operations, as well as power assembly assembly lines. In the high electromagnetic interference environment of welding workshops, its EMC filtering function ensures the precise movement of robots, and its safety interfaces effectively respond to emergency stop signals to ensure the safety of the production line.
  • Battery and New Energy Field: It is applied to KUKA robot systems in battery production processes such as cell assembly, module PACK and laser welding. It ensures the stable operation of robots through reliable power supply and signal transmission, which meets the high-precision and high-safety requirements of new energy battery production.
  • General Industrial Processing: It supports KUKA robots in completing tasks such as machine tool loading and unloading, palletizing, spraying and casting part picking. It adapts to the different working environments of various general industrial workshops and provides stable interface support for the flexible production of robots.
  • Medical and Electronic Manufacturing: In clean rooms for medical device and electronic component production, it provides highly stable power and signal control for KUKA precision assembly robots. It ensures that the robots can complete high-precision assembly operations without being affected by external electrical interference, which improves the qualification rate of products.
  • Collaborative Robot Workstations: In workstations where collaborative robots such as KR AGILUS and traditional robots are deployed in a mixed way, its safety interface is used to build regional safety logic. It monitors the interaction between humans and robots in real time and ensures the controllability of risks during human-machine collaboration operations.
