Reply to comment by bodydamage in North American companies notch another record year for robot orders by darth_nadoma

I knew it was kuka. I’m guessing it’s aerospace too. Aerospace tax for the same products elsewhere are crazy

Nope not aerospace.

The kukas have been extremely reliable, one major failure across multiple robots over the course of 7 years.

Kukas main industry is aerospace so you still pay that tax indirectly. I can say the same thing about reliability on the fanuc and abb’s I’ve programmed but not so much on the ones other people have. I’ve noticed no real difference for longevity between fanuc, ABB and kuka at places with the same preventative maintenance for all of them

They work well and hold up. No complaints from us.
