The KR 16 EX robot is designed for use in environments such as paint rooms where fine gases, dust or vapors are present and pose potential explosion risk.
The robot, which is EEX certified for explosion protection, is pressurized and sealed, making it virtually explosion proof, says the vendor, so that it can be used in these inhospitable environments without worry that the robot will ignite gases, dust and vapors. The KR 16 EX is a six axes robot with payload capacity of 16kg and a reach of 1610mm. The robot meets multiple explosion protection certifications, including CE, EX, II, 3, G, EEx, c, nA, IIB, T3 and X.
