KUKA KR50 R2100 KRC5 CR LITE
Robot details
The KUKA KR 50 R2100 CR lite is a 6‑axis industrial robot specifically engineered for cleanroom and hygienic production environments, where maximum cleanliness, reliability, and precision are essential. With a rated payload of 50 kg and a reach of 2100 mm, this robot combines high load capacity with excellent flexibility across a wide working envelope.
The CR lite (Clean Room lite) configuration features NSF‑H1 food‑grade lubrication, smooth, dirt‑repellent surfaces, and a special protective coating that simplifies cleaning and reduces particle emission. This makes the KR 50 R2100 CR lite suitable for food processing (secondary food applications), pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices, and electronics cleanroom automation.
Driven by the advanced KUKA KRC5 controller, the robot delivers high‑performance motion control, faster processing, and seamless integration with Industry 4.0 and digital factory systems. The KRC5 platform ensures improved energy efficiency, advanced safety architecture, and reliable communication with PLCs, vision systems, and industrial networks.
Thanks to its rigid mechanical structure and optimized kinematics, the KR 50 R2100 CR lite guarantees smooth motion, high repeatability, and stable operation, even at high payloads. Flexible mounting options (floor, wall, or ceiling) allow easy integration into complex automated cells.
