Speed
AIRSKIN® makes industrial robots unbeatable in all fenceless applications.
No cobot is nearly as fast and no cobot can come close to achieving this output.

Up to 6x faster
Applications with the combination of industrial robots and AIRSKIN® are up to 6x faster than applications with cobots.
This is due to the unique AIRSKIN® technology with its soft, air-filled skin, which allows much longer overtravel distances.
This means that speeds of up to 1,300 mm/s can be safely achieved in fenceless, collaborative applications.

Higher payloads more than double your output
By combining AIRSKIN® and industrial robots a much higher payload can be achieved compared to regular cobots. The KUKA Cybertech fenceless with AIRSKIN® can go up to 24 kg.
The higher payload of the AIRSKIN® solution helps to increase your output 2 to 3 times compared to other cobot solutions on the market.
In Q1/2023, KUKA Quantec fenceless with AIRSKIN®, which is currently in the development stage, will raise this level to over 200 kg.
