KUKA KR120 R2700
Robot details
The KUKA KR 120 R2700 is a 6‑axis heavy‑payload industrial robot designed for high‑performance automation, long reach, and robust handling capabilities in demanding industrial environments.
With a payload of 120 kg and an extended reach of 2,700 mm, the KR 120 R2700 is ideally suited for material handling, machine loading, assembly, palletizing, and heavy component manipulation. Its rigid mechanical structure ensures high accuracy, repeatability, and stability, even when operating at maximum load and 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 for modern, digitally integrated production systems.
Motion Concept and Performance
The KUKA KR 120 R2700 is optimized for stable, precise, and repeatable motion under heavy payloads, making it ideal for continuous industrial operation.
Key motion characteristics include:
- High structural rigidity for heavy loads
- Stable point‑to‑point and continuous path motion
- High repeatability under full payload
- Reduced vibration and deflection
- Reliable performance in demanding duty cycles
The long 2,700 mm reach enables efficient handling of large components and extended work areas without the need for additional linear axes.
