KUKA KR150 R3100-2
Robot details
The KUKA KR 150 R3100‑2 is a 6‑axis heavy‑payload industrial robot engineered for very large workspaces, long reach applications, and reliable handling of heavy components in demanding industrial automation environments.
With a payload capacity of 150 kg and an exceptional reach of 3,100 mm, the KR 150 R3100‑2 is ideally suited for material handling, machine loading and unloading, palletizing, automotive body handling, and manipulation of large structural assemblies. Its reinforced mechanical structure ensures high positioning accuracy, repeatability, and long‑term stability, even when operating 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 for modern, digitally integrated heavy‑duty automation systems.
Motion Concept and Performance
The KUKA KR 150 R3100‑2 is optimized for stable, controlled, and repeatable motion under heavy payloads, 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 3,100 mm reach allows efficient coverage of extremely large work areas without the need for additional linear axes or complex repositioning systems.
