KUKA KR1500 R3200-2
Robot details
The KUKA KR 1500 R3200‑2 is a 6‑axis super‑heavy‑payload industrial robot designed for extreme load handling, maximum structural rigidity, and absolute reliability in the most demanding industrial environments.
With an extraordinary payload capacity of 1,500 kg and a reach of 3,200 mm, the KR 1500 R3200‑2 is engineered for handling massive components, such as large castings, automotive frames, heavy dies and molds, steel structures, and foundry parts. Its reinforced mechanical architecture ensures exceptional stability, positioning accuracy, and repeatability, even under full payload and continuous operation.
The robot is powered by the KUKA KR C5 controller, KUKA’s most advanced control platform, providing high‑performance motion control, modern digital connectivity, and robust system architecture for ultra‑heavy‑duty automation systems.
