KUKA KR150 R2700-2

Robot details

The KUKA KR 150 R2700‑2 is a 6‑axis heavy‑payload industrial robot designed for high load handling, long reach, and robust industrial performance in demanding automation environments.

With a payload capacity of 150 kg and a reach of 2,700 mm, the KR 150 R2700‑2 is ideally suited for material handling, machine loading and unloading, palletizing, automotive body handling, and manipulation of large components. Its reinforced mechanical structure provides high positioning accuracy, repeatability, and stability, even when operating near maximum payload.

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 heavy‑duty automation systems.

Motion Concept and Performance

The KUKA KR 150 R2700‑2 is optimized for stable, controlled, and repeatable motion under heavy loads, prioritizing rigidity and process reliability over aggressive acceleration.

Key motion characteristics include:

• High structural stiffness for heavy payload applications
• Stable point‑to‑point and continuous path motion
• High repeatability at extended reach
• Reduced vibration and mechanical deflection
• Reliable performance in continuous industrial duty cycles

The 2,700 mm reach allows efficient handling of large workspaces while maintaining compact automation cell layouts.
