KUKA KR50 R2100 HO KRC5

Robot details

The KUKA KR 50 R2100 HO is a 6‑axis industrial robot designed specifically for hygienic and food‑processing environments. The HO (Hygienic Oil) version is optimized for applications requiring strict hygiene standards, high payload capacity, and reliable continuous operation. With a rated payload of 50 kg and a maximum reach of 2101 mm, this robot combines strength, flexibility, and precision across large working areas.

The KR 50 R2100 HO uses NSF‑H1 food‑grade lubrication on all axes, specially coated smooth surfaces, and sealed components to reduce contamination risks and simplify cleaning procedures. These features make it ideal for secondary food handling, packaging, palletizing, and hygienic production lines.

Powered by the advanced KUKA KRC5 controller, the robot provides precise motion control, fast processing performance, and seamless connectivity with Industry 4.0 digital manufacturing systems. The KRC5 platform ensures enhanced energy efficiency, advanced safety architecture, and reliable integration with PLCs, vision systems, and factory networks.

Thanks to its rigid mechanical structure and optimized kinematics, the KR 50 R2100 HO delivers smooth, repeatable motion even at high payloads, while its multiple mounting options (floor, wall, ceiling) allow flexible integration into complex automation cells
