KUKA KR250 R2700-2
Robot details
The KUKA KR 250 R2700‑2 is a 6‑axis ultra‑heavy‑payload industrial robot engineered for very high load handling, long reach, and maximum structural rigidity in demanding industrial automation environments.
With a payload capacity of 250 kg and a reach of 2,700 mm, the KR 250 R2700‑2 is ideally suited for heavy material handling, machine loading and unloading, palletizing, foundry operations, and manipulation of large and bulky components. Its reinforced mechanical structure ensures excellent stability, high positioning accuracy, and repeatability, even when operating at maximum payload 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 heavy‑duty production systems.
Motion Concept and Performance
The KUKA KR 250 R2700‑2 is optimized for controlled, stable, and repeatable motion under extreme loads, prioritizing rigidity and reliability over aggressive acceleration.
Key motion characteristics include:
- Extremely high structural stiffness for heavy payloads
- Stable point‑to‑point and continuous path motion
- High repeatability at full load
- Minimal vibration and mechanical deflection
- Reliable performance in continuous heavy‑duty duty cycles
The 2,700 mm reach enables efficient handling of oversized components while minimizing the need for additional linear axes.
