Manufacturers don’t choose robots, they choose outcomes. As one of only seven KUKA System Partners in Denmark, AKEA is certified to design, integrate and support robotic cells that deliver measurable productivity, quality and traceability in metal processing and adjacent applications.
Below is what that means for your factory.
What the KUKA partnership means in practice
Shared standards, faster delivery
KUKA-certified engineering, safety and commissioning methods shorten ramp-up and reduce integration risk.
A platform built to scale
From a single cell to a multi-cell line, we design roadmaps so you can extend functionality, like grippers, vision, conveyors, QC, without tearing up what works.
Proven components, predictable maintenance
Industrial-grade robots, drives and controllers with long service lifecycles, global spares and remote diagnostics.
One team, one language
Our controls, mechanics and software teams speak KUKA’s ecosystem fluently (KRC, KUKA.SafeOperation, fieldbus, safety PLCs), which keeps projects moving.
Where AKEA + KUKA excel
- Metal processing cells: cutting, chamfering, peeling, thread rolling, deburring and end machining — often combined with CNC equipment.
- Robotic handling & logistics: raw material infeed, inter-station hand-offs, palletizing/depalletizing, finished-goods outfeed.
- Vision-guided quality: part presence/orientation, surface checks, dimensional verification; automatic containment for non-conformities.
- Electrified motion: servo-driven tooling and fixturing for µm-level repeatability and lower energy use compared to air and oil.
- Data & traceability: cycle, torque, position and QC results logged per part for SPC, OEE and customer audits.
Safety and compliance by design
- Risk assessment to EN ISO 12100
- Functional safety (PL/SIL) with safe torque off, safe speed/position
- Guarding, scanners and interlocks sized to real stop distances
- Clear HMIs, guided procedures and safe states for service
A typical project—end to end
- Discovery & business case
Map bottlenecks, quantify throughput/quality goals, define ROI assumptions. - Concept & simulation
Feasibility, layout, cycle-time balance; digital twin/simulation where valuable. - Build & FAT
Mechanical integration, controls, safety; Factory Acceptance Test with your parts. - Install, train, optimize
Site commissioning, operator training, handover of documentation and spares. - Lifecycle support
Preventive maintenance, remote assistance, upgrades for throughput or new SKUs.
Results you can expect
- Higher throughput from consistent cycle times and fewer micro-stops
- Better quality via repeatable motion and inline inspection
- Lower energy & cleaner floors with electrified motion replacing air/oil where feasible
- Real-time visibility with actionable data for production, quality and ESG teams
Industries we serve
Metal components, automotive, wind/energy supply chain, general manufacturing, and other segments where precision, robustness and documentation matter.
FAQ
Do I need to standardize on KUKA?
No. We can integrate with mixed fleets. The partner status ensures deep competence where KUKA is the best fit.
Can we start small?
Yes — many clients pilot a single cell, then scale using a predefined roadmap.
What about existing tooling and CNC?
We routinely integrate robots with legacy and new machines, including conveyors, testers and measurement systems.
