KUKA KR120 R2300
Robot details
The KUKA KR 120 R2300 is a 6‑axis heavy‑payload industrial robot engineered for high load handling, precision, and reliability in demanding industrial automation environments.
With a payload capacity of 120 kg and a reach of 2,300 mm, the KR 120 R2300 is ideally suited for material handling, machine loading and unloading, assembly, palletizing, and heavy component manipulation. Its rigid mechanical structure ensures high positioning accuracy and repeatability, even when operating at maximum payload.
The robot is powered by the KUKA KR C5 controller, KUKA’s latest‑generation control platform, providing high‑performance motion control, advanced connectivity, and a compact system architecture designed for modern, digitally integrated production systems.
Motion Concept and Performance
The KUKA KR 120 R2300 is optimized for stable, precise, and repeatable motion under heavy loads, rather than aggressive acceleration.
Key motion characteristics include:
- High structural rigidity for heavy payloads
- Stable point‑to‑point and continuous path motion
- Excellent repeatability at full load
- Reduced vibration and deflection
- Reliable performance in continuous industrial duty cycles
The 2,300 mm reach allows efficient handling of large components while maintaining compact cell layouts and minimizing the need for additional linear axes.
Controller & Software – KUKA KR C5
The KUKA KR C5 controller represents the latest evolution of KUKA’s industrial robot control technology and is designed for high‑performance, flexible, and digitally connected automation systems.
