Machine Tending

Liberate your workforce by automating tedious and repetitive tending tasks on machines such as CNCs and presses. Increase your productivity and parts traceability by relocating and upskilling your employees to value-added tasks. The Link 6 can support any machine tending application with payloads up to 9 kg.

Material Handling

Leverage the class-leading speed of the Link 6 to accelerate your processes and significantly increase output through bin picking, automated pick-and-place, packing, box erecting, and more, all while removing ergonomic issues. The optional Link vision system allows for no-code configuration of unstructured picking operations.

Inspection and Testing

The automation of inspection and testing tasks with cobots is a critical element of Industry 4.0, which aims to transform manufacturing through the integration of advanced technologies. By using the Link 6 as a central part of your inspection and testing workflow, data collection can be simplified to ensure tracability and continuous quality control are maintained.

Assembly

Kinova's Link 6 is a great choice for assembly applications such as screwdriving, nailing, and part insertion, due to the increased repeatability, quality, tracability, and sensitivity that the robotic assembly process brings. Experience ultra-fine force feedback for in-process use from the built-in and calibrated force-torque sensor.

Mobile Manipulation

The Link 6 can augment your mobility application by using its low power consumption and high-capability wrist to enable onboard vacuum-generation and advanced sensing. Combining manipulation with mobile platforms allows for increased productivity and reduces the need for human intervention. Allow Kinova to demonstrate how the integrated nature of its controller can enable your success.

Electronics Handling

Despite the electronics industry being highly automated, some tasks including placing of through-hole components, feeding automated soldering machines and test jig usage can still be done manually. The Link 6 can automate these processes to complete the automation of your PCB assembly all the way to quality control.

Finishing

Labor-intensive finishing tasks such as sanding, polishing, grinding and painting are often linked to health and safety issues and limitations. Using a robot such as the Link 6 to automate these processes by supporting multiple process end effectors, for simple or more complex applications allows for the re-assignment of existing resources to less dangerous operations and combat labor shortage issues, especially in second and third shifts.

Welding

The Link 6 is an ideal choice for high mix, low volume welding production, where frequent changes in product types or designs are required. With it's advanced sensors and connectivity, the Link 6 can adapt to different welding tasks, such as different welding processes or materials. It can also work safely alongside human workers, reducing the need for extensive safety measures and allowing for process monitoring.
