KUKA Adds Training Resource to FABTECH 2023
The all-in-one cart is mobile, fits through standard size doors, can be used without the welder for general training purposes, and can even be used for the manufacturing of smaller parts.
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 17, 2023 - KUKA will feature its ready2_educate_arc education cart that includes a KR AGILUS and Lincoln R450 welder at FABTECH 2023. The all-in-one cart is mobile, fits through standard size doors, can be used without the welder for general training purposes, and can even be used for the manufacturing of smaller parts.
The cart also features a fume extractor, built-in fixture table and available options that include Touch Sense, Arc Sense, TRACC TCP and KUKA.Sim. KUKA also provides training courses and project-based digital lesson books with ready2_educate_arc. Developed as a complete starter package for schools, universities and company learning centers, the cart streamlines training and directly addresses current skilled labor shortages.
