KUKA KR50 R2100-2 D01 KRC5
Robot details
The KUKA KR 50 R2100‑2 D01 is a 6‑axis industrial articulated robot from the latest KR IONTEC‑2 generation, designed to deliver high payload capacity, improved dynamics, and long‑term reliability in demanding industrial automation environments. With a rated payload of 50 kg and a working range of approximately 2100 mm, this robot is well suited for medium‑to‑heavy handling tasks requiring precision and robustness.
The IONTEC‑2 mechanical design offers increased stiffness, optimized mass distribution, and smoother motion behavior, enabling shorter cycle times and stable operation even near maximum payload. The D01 variant is intended for standard industrial environments and supports a wide range of automation processes.
Equipped with the advanced KUKA KRC5 controller, the KR 50 R2100‑2 D01 ensures powerful motion control, fast data processing, and seamless integration into Industry 4.0 and digital factory systems. The KRC5 platform provides improved energy efficiency, modern safety architecture, and high‑level connectivity with PLCs, vision systems, and factory networks.
Thanks to its compact footprint, hollow‑wrist design, and multiple mounting options, the robot can be easily integrated into new or existing automation cells, offering excellent accessibility and long‑term production stability.
