KUKA KR240 R3200-1 PA
Robot details
The KUKA KR 240 R3200‑1 PA is a 5‑axis industrial robot optimized for heavy‑duty palletizing and depalletizing applications, designed to combine very high payload capacity, long reach, and exceptional stability in demanding end‑of‑line automation systems.
With a payload capacity of 240 kg and a reach of 3,200 mm, the KR 240 R3200‑1 PA is ideal for palletizing heavy products, such as large boxes, bags, crates, and industrial loads, across multiple pallet positions and wide working areas.
The PA‑optimized design ensures smooth vertical motion, high repeatability, and reliable performance during continuous palletizing cycles, even with large and heavy loads.
The robot is powered by the KUKA KR C5 controller, delivering high‑performance motion control, modern connectivity, and robust system architecture for high‑throughput palletizing cells.
Palletizing Motion Concept and Performance
The KUKA KR 240 R3200‑1 PA is engineered for maximum throughput and stability in heavy‑payload palletizing operations.
Key performance characteristics include:
- Optimized palletizing kinematics for heavy loads
- Smooth and stable vertical movements
- High repeatability for precise stacking patterns
- Reliable operation during continuous duty cycles
- Excellent coverage of large palletizing areas
The long reach allows the robot to serve multiple pallets, conveyor lines, or stacking zones without additional external axes.
Controller & Software – KUKA KR C5
The KUKA KR C5 controller is KUKA’s most advanced industrial robot controller, designed to support high‑performance palletizing and heavy‑duty material handling applications.
Controller Highlights:
- Compact and modular controller architecture
- High‑precision motion and path control
- Compatibility with palletizing software packages
- Industry 4.0 connectivity and diagnostics
- Support for external devices and safety systems
The KR C5 ensures precise robot motion, fast commissioning, and long‑term reliability in high‑load palletizing environments.
