In 2023, Kuka will celebrate its 125th anniversary. Everyone at KUKA is proud and will continue to embark on the next brilliant chapter with confidence.

PXIE-4080 Kuka is about to celebrate its 125th anniversary

In 1898, Johann Joseph Keller and Jakob Knappich founded Keller und Knappich Augsburg. The acetylene plant was soon further developed. For example, in addition to municipal vehicles, our product line has expanded to include typewriters, as well as welding techniques that PXIE-4080 we are still setting standards for today. Then in the 1970s, Kuka developed the world’s first industrial robot with six electromechanical drive shafts. Today Kuka is an internationally renowned automation group with around 14,000 employees and a turnover of 3.3 billion euros. 125 bearing wind and rain, worthy of our applause and cheer today!

The Kuka robot is 50 years old

FAMULUS is the name of the first robot developed by Kuka, a pioneer in robotics, in 1973. Today, 50 years later, industrial robots are widely used, and we can no longer imagine the production line without robots. Whether in the automotive, electronics, metals and PXIE-4080 plastics industries, consumer goods, e-commerce/retail and healthcare industries, Kuka robots are busy.

Robotics and automation: simple and intuitive

For more than 125 years, Kuka has been making people’s lives and work easier. In 2030, our mission is to make automation simple and intuitive. This means that everyone can use our robots. We will continue to work on this in 2023. For example, the iiQKA operating system we are currently PXIE-4080 developing makes it easy to automate production, processing and testing processes without any programming knowledge.
