KUKA KR 8 R2010‑2

Robot details

The KUKA KR 8 R2010‑2 is a 6‑axis industrial robot designed for applications that require extra‑long reach, high flexibility, and reliable industrial performance in modern automation environments.

With a payload of 8 kg and an extended reach of 2,010 mm, the KR 8 R2010‑2 is ideal for machine tending, material handling, assembly, and pick‑and‑place operations across very large workspaces. Its slim yet rigid mechanical structure ensures high positioning accuracy and repeatability, even at maximum reach.

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 designed for digitally integrated and Industry 4.0‑ready production systems.

Motion Concept and Performance

The KUKA KR 8 R2010‑2 is optimized for industrial speed, stability, and repeatability, rather than collaborative operation.

Key motion characteristics include:

• Fast and precise point‑to‑point movements
• Smooth continuous path control
• High repeatability for accurate positioning
• Stable dynamics at extra‑long reach

The 2,010 mm reach allows the robot to cover large work areas efficiently, reducing the need for additional linear axes or complex repositioning systems.
