Robots for Future: KUKA robot produces more sustainable cutlery 

To an increasing extent, the injection molding sector and plastics industry are grappling with the challenge of manufacturing sustainable and long-lasting products. Working in collaboration with the Reutlingen University, robomotion GmbH and KUKA, Gindele GmbH demonstrates how this can be achieved using the example of an innovative project. In this case study, sustainable cutlery, which was initially developed for the Moulding Expo trade fair, is manufactured in an injection molding machine using high-performance plastic. Once the initial manufacturing process has been completed, a highly flexible robot cell with an integrated KUKA robot takes care of the laborious subsequent processing tasks.
