KUKA LBR iiwa Robot Optimizes Electronic Circuit Production
The video demonstrates how the KUKA LBR iiwa robot assists in electronics manufacturing — particularly on SMT / circuit-board assembly lines — by supplying components, handling material, and enabling collaborative human-robot workflows without the need for safety fences. In the demo, LBR iiwa (stationary or mounted on a mobile base) picks component reels, supplies them to pick-and-place machines, or carries them as needed — reducing manual labour, improving consistency, and increasing throughput. Thanks to its sensitive torque-sensing joints and compliance control, the robot can safely work alongside humans and handle delicate components, making it ideal for high-precision electronics production and flexible manufacturing setups.
