The ELHA PKM is a modular machine that can be equipped with a wide range of end effectors. Compared to serial robots, it offers an increase of 10 to 15 times higher rigidity and accuracy at the end effector. The innovative mechanical structure allows geometric variations of the base frame and thus customisation of the workspace. The PKM distributes loads on the building foundation and offers maximum flexibility during installation as no additional foundations are required.
Which processes does the PKM support?

High-speed cutting

3DMD
Nearly net-shaped prints, post-processing and machining of large components in a single operation

Vibration Drilling
Vibratory drilling in large-scale production.

Laser cutting and welding
The high dynamic properties enable precise cutting and high-speed welding of large parts.

Friction stir welding
Motion and force control ensure precise welding on free-form surfaces where high dynamics and rigidity are crucial.

Composite Machining

Gigcasting
With our PKM, we offer a high-performance solution for the precise and fast post-processing of gigacasting parts.
Precision and flexibility combined
The parallel kinematics module combines the advantages of machine tools and flexible robot processing. Large components, including cast parts, can be machined with unrivalled precision. Several modules combined with each other enable different processing steps such as laser cutting, milling and friction stir welding in one production line. The modules can be flexibly adapted to the work area and offer greater accuracy and rigidity compared to conventional serial robots.

Parallel kinematics as a technological bridge

The PKM closes the gap between machine tools and conventional serial robots. It offers high flexibility and can be integrated into existing or new production lines. With a large working range and high speed, it offers a wide range of possible applications.
The PKM was developed in collaboration with our Swedish partner Cognibotics.
