Overview
The KUKA LBR Med is a sensitive lightweight robot built specifically as a robotic component for integration into medical products. Derived from KUKA's established LBR iiwa collaborative platform, it brings torque-sensitive joints and human-robot collaboration capabilities into clinical and healthcare settings, where it can work interactively alongside physicians or be driven via telemanipulation.
A defining attribute of the LBR Med is its certification under the IECEE CB Scheme against recognized medical safety and software standards. By delivering a pre-certified robotic building block, KUKA enables medical device manufacturers to develop products and pursue worldwide regulatory approval more quickly than starting from an uncertified industrial robot.
The robot is offered in two variants with different payload and reach combinations, and its hygienic surface, comprehensive safety features, and sensitive sensing make it suited to applications such as surgical assistance, imaging, navigation, and rehabilitation.
