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.

Composite Machining

Gigacasting & parallel kinematics - Efficient post-processing of large components

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.
