Handling of brake linings - KUKA Robot KR 125 - Обзор Kuka

At BBA Friction, requirements for higher productivity and better working conditions provided the impetus to automate the handling of brake pads. Although the individual parts are not particularly heavy, each employee had to lift material weighing a total of about six tons per shift. This frequently led to health problems. BBA Friction researched the market intensively to find a robust system which would stand up to a tough industrial environment. (R 146)
