KUKA KR50 R2500 KRC5

Robot details

The KUKA KR 50 R2500 is a 6‑axis industrial articulated robot from the proven KR IONTEC series, designed for applications that require a longer reach combined with a solid payload capacity. With a rated payload of 50 kg and an extended reach of approximately 2500 mm, this robot is ideal for handling, palletizing, and automation tasks across large working envelopes.

Thanks to its rigid mechanical structure and optimized kinematics, the KR 50 R2500 delivers stable motion, high repeatability, and smooth trajectories, even when operating close to its maximum reach. This makes it particularly suitable for production environments where accuracy and reliability must be maintained over long distances.

Powered by the advanced KUKA KRC5 controller, the robot offers high‑performance motion control, fast processing, and seamless integration into Industry 4.0 and digital factory environments. The KRC5 platform ensures improved energy efficiency, modern safety architecture, and excellent connectivity with PLCs, vision systems, and factory networks.

With multiple mounting options (floor, wall, or ceiling) and a compact cell footprint, the KR 50 R2500 can be easily integrated into both new and existing automation systems.
