I program KUKA robots, drawing on my experience at KUKA as an application engineer and engineering lead. Today I support system integrators, automation colleagues and manufacturers directly. Concepts, offline programming, commissioning and service across Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Short of programming capacity, facing a project backlog or missing a specialist for your robot cell? I join your project, document my work and hand over a system your team can maintain.
I take care of robot programming in your project, from concept through acceptance support. You retain responsibility for the system; I deliver documented KRL code following your standards.
Peak workload, holidays or parallel projects? I provide additional programming capacity, working discreetly in the background and respecting your customer relationships.
Have a KUKA cell but no specialist to reprogram it, optimise it or troubleshoot faults? I support programming, optimisation and training for your team.
Seven services, available individually or as a complete package. KUKA-focused, documented and handed over so your team can keep working.
Complete path and sequence programming for new cells in KRL, with structured code, comments, calibrated base and tool frames, and repeatable processes.
On-site commissioning through production readiness. Cycle time optimisation, smoother paths and reduced overshoot for stable, efficient operation.
Program in KUKA.Sim while the system is still producing. Check reachability, collisions and cycle times virtually to reduce downtime during commissioning.
When a cell stops, every minute matters. Systematic diagnostics of the robot, gripper, sensors and PLC interface, on site or remotely, to restore production.
Help your team handle everyday tasks independently with practical training at the cell: operation, teaching points, acknowledging faults and making small adjustments.
Secure remote access to the controller for many adjustments and diagnostic tasks without travel. Practical support for smaller changes, wherever possible.
Turn your task into a sound concept: cell layout, reachability, gripper and process selection, and interfaces, before the first point is taught.
I have used and commissioned these KUKA technology options in real projects. They are tools I know from practical experience.
Software-based safety monitoring of axis-specific and Cartesian spaces, with up to 16 monitoring spaces, without mechanical limit switches.
Gripper configuration and control directly in the robot controller, with GripperSpotTech available for welding guns.
Arc welding (MIG/MAG, TIG) with welding parameter management and weaving; fieldbus connection to power sources, with modular options starting from ArcTech Basic.
Offline programming and simulation to assess reachability, collisions and cycle times virtually.
Integrated 2D vision for position detection, code and character reading (OCR), and quality inspection.
Conveyor tracking for synchronised picking from moving belts, supporting up to five conveyors.
Automatic determination of flange payload data: mass, centre of gravity and moments of inertia.
Cooperative programming of up to four robots with synchronised, coupled movements.
From welding to path-based processes, covering typical tasks of a KUKA cell.
Clear stages with a defined outcome at each handover. You always know where your project stands.
Understand the task, assess reachability and layout, and agree on the functional specification.
Program in KUKA.Sim and assess paths, cycle time and collisions virtually.
Start up on site, refine paths and integrate the PLC interface for stable operation.
Train operators and maintenance staff; hand over concise documentation and commented code.
Optional remote maintenance and support for faults or subsequent changes.
Note: I provide programming and engineering services. Responsibility for the system, CE conformity and safety acceptance under the Machinery Directive remains with the integrator or operator. Electrical, mechanical and safeguarding work is performed by the respective specialist contractors.
“I have not only programmed robot cells. As an engineering lead at KUKA I was responsible for planning and commissioning them, and training customers.”
From 2017 to 2021 I worked at KUKA CEE GmbH, progressing from application engineer to engineering team lead. Before that, I worked on PLC programming (Siemens TIA / Step 7) and commissioning highly automated logistics systems across Europe at TGW. This combination of robotics, control systems and on-site experience informs my work today.
