KUKA KR360 R2800-2

Robot details

The KUKA KR 360 R2800‑2 is a 6‑axis ultra‑heavy‑payload industrial robot designed for extreme load handling, high structural rigidity, and reliable long‑term performance in the most demanding industrial automation environments.

With an impressive payload capacity of 360 kg and a reach of 2,800 mm, the KR 360 R2800‑2 is ideally suited for handling very large and heavy components, such as automotive body structures, castings, molds, frames, dies, and large assemblies. Its reinforced mechanical design ensures excellent stability, high positioning accuracy, and repeatability, even under maximum payload and continuous operation.

The robot is powered by the KUKA KR C5 controller, KUKA’s latest‑generation control platform, delivering high‑performance motion control, advanced connectivity, and compact system architecture for modern, digitally integrated ultra‑heavy‑duty automation systems.

Motion Concept and Performance

The KUKA KR 360 R2800‑2 is optimized for controlled, stable, and repeatable motion under extreme payloads, prioritizing rigidity and safety over aggressive acceleration.
