KUKA KR120 R3200-1 PA
Robot details
The KUKA KR 120 R3200‑1 PA is a 5‑axis industrial robot optimized for palletizing and depalletizing applications, designed to combine high payload capacity, long reach, and excellent stability in demanding end‑of‑line automation systems.
With a payload capacity of 120 kg and a reach of 3,200 mm, the KR 120 R3200‑1 PA is ideal for palletizing medium to heavy products, such as boxes, bags, trays, and industrial packages, across multiple pallet positions and wide palletizing areas.
The PA (Palletizing Application) configuration is specifically engineered for smooth vertical motion, high repeatability, and continuous operation, ensuring reliable performance even in high‑throughput palletizing environments.
The robot is powered by the KUKA KR C5 controller, providing high‑performance motion control, modern connectivity, and robust system architecture for advanced palletizing cells.
Palletizing Motion Concept and Performance
