Turntable for versatile vehicle production

Optimize production efficiency with a turntable designed to handle multiple vehicle models, offering seamless integration for high payloads and reducing non-productive times with flexible tooling and parallel processing capabilities.

The KS QuadroSpin from KUKA AG is a robust industrial turntable tailored for the automotive industry, known for its high payload capacity and adaptability to multiple vehicle models. This equipment excels by facilitating automated rotation of components and parallel processing tasks, significantly reducing non-productive times and optimizing spatial efficiency. It functions by housing up to four geometry tools on the turntable, enabling seamless transitions between different tooling processes such as welding, riveting, and hemming. This capability supports automotive manufacturers in producing car body panels, vehicle chassis parts, and doors with remarkable flexibility.

With the ability to handle payloads up to 14,000 kilograms, the KS QuadroSpin integrates smoothly into production lines, offering two basic variants: single tooling with four distinct tools, or double tooling with two pairs of identical tools. Its design allows for easy accessibility and adaptability, courtesy of the option to place an additional robot at the center of the turntable, enhancing component handling and reducing the required operational footprint.

KUKA’s KS QuadroSpin is ideal for applications including vehicle production and the fabrication of automotive systems, supporting high-demand processes while ensuring efficient use of space within production facilities.
