KUKA KR50 R2100 KRC5

Robot details

The KUKA KR 50 R2100 is a 6‑axis industrial articulated robot from the proven KR IONTEC series, designed for medium‑to‑heavy payload applications requiring high precision, flexibility, and long‑term reliability. With a rated payload of 50 kg and a reach of 2101 mm, this robot delivers excellent performance across a wide working envelope.

Equipped with the advanced KUKA KRC5 controller, the KR 50 R2100 provides powerful motion control, fast processing, and seamless integration into Industry 4.0 and digital manufacturing environments. The KRC5 platform ensures improved energy efficiency, enhanced cybersecurity, and broad connectivity with PLCs, vision systems, and factory networks.

Thanks to its compact and rigid mechanical design, the KR 50 R2100 guarantees smooth, coordinated movements, high repeatability, and reduced cycle times, even when operating close to its maximum payload. Multiple mounting options (floor, wall, or ceiling) allow flexible integration into complex automation cells.

This robot is an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking a robust and future‑ready automation platform capable of handling demanding industrial tasks with consistent precision.
