In one sentence
KeMotion is KEBA's control solution for robots and handling systems, with motion control, programming and operating tools.
Example
A machine builder uses KeMotion to control a SCARA robot in an assembly cell and programs it with the supplied tools.
How it applies
- Engineering: Robot and machine builders use such platforms to control different kinematics without developing robot control software themselves.
- Commissioning: Kinematic parameters, axes, tools and safety settings are configured with the vendor's tools.
- Documentation: When a product is built on a third-party control platform, the machine builder's documentation must still cover the complete machine. Reuse the platform vendor's information where allowed, but align terms, screenshots and version numbers with the delivered software, and record the platform version in the technical documentation. For translation and localization, keep the product name unchanged in every language and record it in the terminology database as a do-not-translate term.
Keep in mind: Product names, versions and features change. Check them against KEBA's current documentation before describing KeMotion in manuals or marketing material.
